I am in South Carolina and have 2 five foot high tea olives outside my bedroom windows that are about 4 years old. I have wanted to try propagating. Ising your method, I hope to have success, and wish you luck on yours. I have the white plants. The orange ones must be heavenly! Where in New England are you located? I am originally from southern Maine. Love you tiny assistant!
Thank you, I am in kansas not close to England. The propagation is a success for me so far. Sweet olive is one of those lucky trees in our culture; therefore, this is the only plant that I have all the main varieties(orange, scarlet, gold, white). My dream is have a place in the south as well and be able to plant all my tropical plants in ground. Wish you luck 🍀.
Thank you. You can use any cup for propagation. The main things you want to keep in mine: keep the cutting moist, keep the cuttings in shaded area. I got those cups from my insurance company and it comes with basil seed and a growing medium. I thought be useful sometime down the road so I kept them.
@@ninelinks3443 do they have a name on the? I would like to buy some.. thought they were pretty cool, I am going to propagate my tea olives and looks like a great growth medium too.. .I looked at home depot and the like, didn't see them
One of mine died too the other one is ok. I think the branch you cut off needs to be bigger for higher success. The one I have that is dead is the smaller one. So for me lesson learned: use more mature branch. Did you use root hormone? You water often?
@@ninelinks3443 yes I found little cups like your, for rooting and I took the tender née growth from the top of tree. Urea to root hormones I repeated the experiment this time I left the outside I did some cutting of a Gardenia and about 1/2 are doing well. Looks like the new cutting off the tea olive are dead too I also tried a mature branch since I was cutting it back from house Look like Gardenia 4 tea olives 0 (I used potting soil on the outside experiment)
Hmmm, this method seems to work well on some plants but for sweet olive might not be as good. I am going to try something different, I have few more branches on my sweet olive I am going to try. I be making another video as experiment on the new method. Again sorry for you losses on cuttings. Thanks for helping out.
What a good assistant! Thank you for such patient and complete information.

The name is self watering planter and new medium I used is new Zealand premium sphagnum moss.
I did step by step your method and mine all died. How are yours doing?
