    Thanks for this. It's typical in Southern Mississippi to see gigantic purple azaleas growing under the live oaks and wild dogwoods in the early spring. There is even a variety of wild azaleas here that fill up the woods with perfume and the bees are everywhere. Can't wait to mooch off some cuttings from friends and get some started in my backyard. Your love of plants and enthusiasm and encouragement is always appreciated.

    I had to write to thank you for your videos and patience in explaining how to propagate petunias and azaleas. Recently I cut some ends of a petunia. I root toned them, put them in amended soil for propagation. Checked them this past week and they are producing some growth. Also at the same time my daughter sent me some cuttings of her azalea to root. They all went into a propagation plastic tray with a clear snap on lid. They are producing even better. I haven’t check any roots yet. It’s only been like a little over a month. By September I’ll repot into bigger pots and place in a clear rubbermade tote for the winter. Seems this works. Never doubted you. Thanx for your help and instructions.

    Thanks for making this video. It's always great to see you present a visual example of species I've read about propagating but haven't attempted yet. You left more leaves on than I expected, good to know. I think your results were good for non sterile conditions, that's my preferred method and depending on the species I could be satisfied if I get above 50%. I would love to see you do a video on deciduous azaleas, I have some native flame azaleas that aren't in the best conditions because of how the woods have grown around them.

      Keep look and thinking about it. You'll come up with something. If nothing else, you can buy 2 square feet bags of commercially prepared potting soil. You can make your own cheaper if you buy bales of peat, composted bark, perlite, etc, and mix it all yourself. You'll have much more of it too.

    Hi Mike;
    Enjoy all your videos! I would love to do a cold frame.
    I wanted to share how I propagate my rhododendrons….
    It’s just another way if you don’t have a cold frame or the space. I don’t use rooting hormone-I just let Mother Nature do her thing and I don’t have to harden them off. You’ve probably done this method….
    I pull down the lower branch and bury the middle of the stem about 8-10 inches and forget about it till the next season … sometimes I will leave it there for another year only cause I’m not sure were to plant it to give it the space it needs. I just enjoy watching these little babies be born😊
    I do the same method with my hydrangeas and some of my boxwoods.

    • @MikeKincaid79
      @MikeKincaid79  Рік тому +1

      Hi Mike,
      Following on from my previous advise about taking a heap of Azalea cuttings, yesterday I potted up about a dozen of them, I gave them a small amount of azalea food in granular form (not the slow release type). Then for some reason I got it in my head that it might be a good idea to put them back into the tote for a few days, the idea being not to shock them…
      The next morning to my shock I discovered most of the leaves have gone from glossy green to mostly brown! Wow what a disaster.
      I’m wondering if it’s too much fertiliser?
      Do you have any thought, or have you experienced anything like this yourself? Should I simply of not put them pack in to the tote?

    Thanks so much for sharing! Great video. One question: if you have the cuttings on bottom heat through winter, keeping the medium around 80F, does this mean they don't actually need a period of cold temps and dormancy during this first winter?

    • @MikeKincaid79
      @MikeKincaid79  Рік тому +1

      They are on bottom heat but it’s only about 10 degrees warmer than the ambient air. So the rooting medium gets down to the 40s and 50’s at times through the winter.

Your are stays warmer for longer so you may need more water. Since it stays warmer, you may be able to plant your newly rooted cuttings now and all the way into September.

    I don't have an outdoor box set up and won't this year more than likely. Would this method work in an indoor prop box with under heat? Been struggling with rooting evergreen azalea to fill in spots where bushes died from English ivy being left to run the yard at the house we bought.

      It would theoretically be better indoors, because you have more control over growing conditions. As long as you can provide everything the cutting needs in the right amounts, they should do great.

      I’ll bet you could get them to root well without bottom heat if you start them early enough. Build a small wood frame and fill it with sand. I like this setup better than plastic totes because it allows for more air flow.

    What's the best potting mix for azaleas... I got some seedlings. Came home potted them and they started Goin brown and dropping leaves. The seedlings root seemed wet all the time. Even though I didn't over water.... Where did I go wrong... Thanks❤

    • @MikeKincaid79
      @MikeKincaid79  Рік тому +1

      Azalea roots are fine and hair like, so it's easy to overwater them when young and just getting started. I like to use a well draining potting mix for small cuttings of azaleas. You want the soil moist but not wet at all. It should have plenty of air flow. The main thing is, don't overwater. Many people think you need to water plants constantly but the truth is that as long as the soil is moist, just leave them alone. As they get larger and more established, they are less finicky.

    Hey mike was looking at your over wintering petunias and just wondering if I have to leave those T8 bulbs on 24 hours a day or could I put a timer on them for a set amount of hours a day? Also I was going to try this in a spare bedroom where I have no heat turned on in winter and at the coldest it probably gets down to 58-60 F or few degrees cooler. I would think this would be an ok temp for the petunias to over winter or am I wrong? I would appreciate any info on this. Love watching your vids and have been subbed for a month or so. Cheers

      This is no problem at all. You can take the cuttings, put them in a plastic bag with a tablespoon of water and seal the bag. Then keep it in a cool place like a refrigerator or a cooler. If you don’t have either option then they will be fine without the cooler for a couple days as long as you don’t put the bag in the sun where it can heat up. Good luck and have fun!

    Have you ever propagated mountain laurel (kalmia latifolia)? We have about five different varieties of mature mountain laurel as foundation plantings and since they're not that commonly sold, I thought maybe they would sell well. But nobody has any videos on propagating them on youtube and most of the internet just says "propagate by cuttings" with little information. Since you specialize in difficult to cultivate evergreens like rhododendron, I thought maybe you had tried or know something about them?

He tried to plant the torn up root ball parts but I'm not feeling very hopeful about those. I can't tell new growth from old, it's all jumbled.
