    All I want to say to people who is trying to propagate their plants is: use bottom heat, use rooting hormone and keep the humidity and you’ll see how your cuttings start to rooting, this video is amazing by the way. 😊

    Mike, you always inspire me to propagate something I've never tried before! Thank you for your generosity and knowledge on growing a wide variety of plants from cuttings! I purchased one of the large boot warmer mats when you talked about it several years ago, and it was a total game-changer. I hope you and your sweet family are having a wonderful week! ~Margie🤗🌱🌺

    In my experience most cuttings do best outside in shade , using heat only triggers figs and other fall plants to start putting out leaves early and heat causes rot and root rot so the heat is best for already rooted plants indoors over winter! My cuttings start outside and once they root I bring them inside in a temp and humidity controlled room with a 1000w mh lamp and I get 6ft of growth a month during winter on my fig cuttings so by spring I've topped the cuttings apexs many times to make a perfectly balanced high nodule per sq ft fig tree than than grows 6 feet outside during spring and summer, much slower than indoor in perfect conditions and 18 hrs of direct light a day but during that time the indoor growth lignifies and I get the highest fig yields possible on 1st yr fig cuttings! Figs definitely the top 5 easiest fruiting plants to root and grow! :) also I agree with everything you say in the vid I was just giving my experience and I dont recomend growing non tropical plants indoors cause most non tropical plants do best outside. Figs are dessert and tropical plants so they do incredible but any vines(all vines are understory shade loving plants) , they cant handle the direct light at all and indoor conditions will just end them!

I had better success in spring/summer simply just stick in ground in my garden, grapes, figs, willow, even Bradford invasive pear, I used it for rootstock, without rooting hormone, with proper watering and it’s growing.

  • @zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848

    You can build an above-ground walipini! You only need to push mounds of dirt up around the edges of the greenhouse about 4 feet high and a couple of feet thick. Another great option is to put your compost piles up against the walls to help keep it warm. I saw one guy did this and ran 6" tubes through the compost and used a fan to circulate the air. He was somewhere like Montana where it gets really cold. This works great for hydric soil areas.
    I know we talked about walipinis before and you wanted one but said your water level was too high and it would turn into a pool at times.

    • @MikeKincaid79

    Thanks for the video, I’ve been watching yours for years (and some other channels) as up-potting entertainment down here in my Oregon nursery.
    The one thing you said I wasn’t so sure about in this video (but maybe I misinterpreted what you were saying) is the 10 degrees warmer than growing space air temperature thing. I believe that is based on a study that showed the same growth rate using bottom heat with a 10 degree lower air temperature. However, I do not recall it saying that giving bottom heat beyond that is of no benefit or harmful (but is possibly a waste of electricity). I would think that may also be species dependent. I keep my propagation greenhouse at about 60F and heat pads at 72F and it works well. However, I do have a couple spare heat pads I am now thinking of running a 75F and 80F experiment with.
