Also, 40% on roses, 40% on burning bush, 40% on lavender, weigela, apple grafting, pear air layering, petunias, begonias, viburnum, hosta, pothos, dracaena, dogwood, at least 40% on hydrangeas, did I forget any? That all adds up to at least 5680%. LOL. I couldn't help myself but you're right, there are many more plants to work with. Stick around, I'm not going anywhere.
@@dbwell9779 LOL, the figs are calling. I'll do more videos about other plants as the season progresses, right now the figs are what's happening and rooting.
Come on!!! I have seen dozens species prop. On mike's videos. Cuttings, airlayeri g and grafting...( Unique experiment in Japanese maple) ... It's a very unkind commentary, completely out of info.
Yes! We should be able to admit our mistakes and learn from the process. We should also be able to ask questions. I can think of a few instances where all that is not happening in recent history but that's a story for another time and another channel, lol.
Keep experimenting, Mike, that's how we gain knowledge... even when a propagation experiment doesn't work, we learn from it. Stay safe and give your lovely ladies a hug from all of us! ~Margie🤗
Green wood air layers work fine. I've done later in season, but yes in July is best when plants are in super growth mode. You don't need to girdle, just scratch and gotta apply rooting hormone, like CloneX. Sandwich method works well if you let the roots really fill the baggie.
Well now you know, and now we all know. Whatever it takes to grow more figs. ☺️ Great to see some roots starting no matter what. Keep up the good work and the good videos! 👍✌️
Ahhh... so much patience. Each plant / tree are completely different from another. Even hydroponics have issues on temperature and chemical assistance. Learning is the best experience. Thanks, Kincaid.
Well that is very confidence building! I thought you would have had 100% success with this method Mike, at least this makes my failed attempt bearable, I set mine up in June, and waited until December, expecting to get the same results that got with your large Fig trunk cuttings, but no root at all on my air layering pods, I will try again this year, I both striped a leaf off, and a 2" long area of bark, but nothing by either method. Chris B.
Ha, sounds like we got the same results! Well, there's always next summer. Let's start them a little earlier and scrape some bark. I think we're on the right track.
@@MikeKincaid79 I note that you did not provide for any moisture in the rooting pod, and my attempt last year was during an extremely dry season with 45 C temperatures, I wonder if that could be a cause. You had such fantastic results with that huge Fig log it inspired me to have a go. Chris B.
Yeah. You need to expose the green layer just under the bark, the cambium layer. That's how the master gardeners taught me how to do it and it works well. We also used rooting hormone brushed along the exposed area.
I was trying something different this time. Here's a video I did last summer and used the principles you mentioned: ua-cam.com/video/KM8VbV99Vf0/v-deo.html
I did this with a sucker on a Verdino del nord this summer. I am pretty sure I did rough up the bark a little, and used some rooting harmone gel. It took, several months, and didn't have many roots right away, but it did well and survived after it was cut off ( and moved to the greenhouse).
@Mike Kincaid I did another on a fully lignified thick branch at the same time of RDB and it put out a ton of roots. The advantage to doing it on green suckers is of course that I wanted to prune that branch away anyway... but mabye the suckers have less energy than a full size branch..
Daggum, look at that! 3/15 that late in the season is pretty stinkin good results! I hope you repeat this the exact same way next (or this) growing season, at least on some of them. I appreciate you thinkin outside the box and sharing the results. Negative results are still results. With lots to be learned.
Thanks for the video Mike. I agree with you, I bet girdling the branch next time would result in higher success. Also, I love air layering, those air layer pods look awesome. I’ve never seen those before.
I sure am hoping for better success next summer by making those few adjustments. You can find the pods on Amazon. Here a few links to different size packages of them: amzn.to/3krXd5s | amzn.to/3Wq540F | amzn.to/3QQf5TH
I’ve seen Ross pluck 2 or 3 leaves off up toward the top of a green branch and use the sandwich bag method. He puts a tie strap around it and lets it fall to the ground without cover. Roots galore lol. Maybe time of season and I think a bigger pod/ bag might be better. Love the videos buddy!
Back in the 60s my dad used to make a slit nearly 1/2 way through the branch and put a sliver of wood ( like a toothpick)in the cut to keep it open. Then finish as you do. It worked for him.
I started my air layering in the summer. Now it is starting to root, but there are really nice figs on the plant. So I don't want to cut it away from the mother plant yet. Is it ok to just let it ride out and get the fruit then cut it and replant? I live in the NE so do I need to be careful with frost? Or should I wait for it to go dormant and let the plant stay indoors out of the freeze / frost? Thanks
Thanks for sharing your experiments. They are interesting and very informative. You mentioned Dan Foster has a video, I will check that out. Keep us updated
Going to try a hardwood air layering this spring on a flowering plum tree. Going to try two different size limbs and see how they turn out. If it works I have a place I can plant it in the yard.
Awesome! I'm sure it will work for you. Air layering is a very rewarding way to multiply your trees because of the masses of roots you get. I've air layered Kwanza cherry trees so I would think the plum will do fine. Just make sure to start your air layers early so they have all summer to root.
I saw your propagating method from three years ago and I don't think I would waste my time with air layering. My golden riverside suffers a broken branch and IU put in planting medium in a plastic bag and I now have buds and roots. Like you, I'm not a fan at providing a humidified tent. If you allow open rooting, hardening off is much easier and disease is minimal.
@@MikeKincaid79 No, I meant for the cuttings especially indoors. For the air layers as i know is no other possibility to put them in a air layer box. By the way a learnt a lot from your videos mike :)
I would use Dan's method of pinching the top softwood growth and rooting it. The purpose of pinching in the first place is to promote earlier fruiting on the branches. All Dan was doing was finding a way to root the pinched softwood rather than throw it away. For me, airlayers are best with some lignafied wood involved........at least, that's what has worked for me. On the hand pollinating scene, I've heard now that instead of using distilled water, use regular tap water, and instead of sucrose, use white table sugar, and some have even used water, without any sugar, and mixing with pollen, and injecting into the eye of the fig to pollinate it. To me, that would be great if all that was needed was pollen, water, and a needle to get the job done. It will be interesting to see in the coming years, how this evolves since there's been an increased interest in this method, and no doubt because of the black fig fly that's now in areas where the fig wasp exists.
I'm not a fig pollinating expert but with other plants, that's all it takes, Pollen. Since figs are inverted flowers, pollen, water, and a needle sound reasonable. Sometimes I think people complicate it. When I got my wife pregnant, I didn't dump a bunch of sucrose in there too, LOL. Sorry for that but couldn't help it. I may be wrong though, as I have no experience with pollinating figs. As far as Dan's method, I didn't realize he was just trying to find something to do with pinched fig tops. I just love experimenting with this stuff and determined to see if I can get this to work, where I can air layer a green top and get tons of roots in a short time. I do agree that air layering the older wood is definitely a very reliable tried and true method. I really enjoyed air layering that Holier you sent me last summer and all the roots it produced. Speaking of, I need to get that one in the ground soon.
It is always worth a try. Maybe if you waited until the roots were much bigger before removing it from the tree. It may also work better mid-spring. Maybe if you strip some bark off like with air-layering other plants.
The roots are prompted to grow because you have cut the Cambian layer triggering emergency action. Just snapping the leaf off is a normal function of the stem and doesn’t start the survival response of growing new roots
Hi Mike. I have a wonderful fig in my backyard. Amazing sweet figs, if I can have one ripen before the squirrels get to them. I'm in southern California. My husband chopped the tree in half. She gave some branches last summer. I was wondering, can I propagate those branches into new plants? Thx in advance for your help! 🙏
Hey Chris! Any petunias will root easily by cutting and germinate from seed. So whatever your favorite variety is, give it a go. Enjoy the rest of your summer mate!
@@MikeKincaid79 THANK'S Mike i have just planted out my first lot of cuttings ,PS the Kincade way and i am happy with the results ,as i have never tried seeds as yet, we usually buy our new plants from Bunnings Hardware, CHEERS and thank's for your help. Chris
Great experiment Mike! My best guess is, I think they died and rotted soon as it got cold, I lost some of my softwood cuttings to freezing temps back in December, so lesson learned for me, gotta get the softwoods indoors to winter over. I started softwood cuttings in the first week of July, and kept going sticking more every week until September, all the evergreen stuff, the cold didn't even phase, but anything else that is more sensitive like weigela, hydrangeas, spirea, bit the dust. I checked on them after watching one of your videos I watched recently were you warned us to protect your cuttings from the cold lol, and they were toast! Thanks for sharing, I recently started my own nursery channel with my own experiment's, I will comment with that channel too. Also quick question, I heard on one of your older videos about some members club you run? How do I join that? Can you send me a link? Thanks for all your knowledge and inspiration!
Cool, I'll have to check out your channel. I agree about the fig air layers and am looking forward to trying this again earlier in the season. As far as the website, here's the link: propagateplantslikeapro.com It's not so much a club as it is a series of videos that cover everything I do here on my place. I would like to eventually add more to it and be more interactive on it, just haven't gotten that far yet.
@@MikeKincaid79 hey Mike this is R C CRAY Z, this is my Nursery channel. I don't have alot on it yet, but I have alot on the way, just waiting on things to finish growing to post more. Thanks for your knowledge and time put into your videos.
Ofcourse it didn’t root you have to cut around the bark recently did my 1st air layer on a huge fig tree in the neighborhood it’s a 8 foot branch and it rooted very good cut it down last week at 2am and transplanted it thank god I wasn’t caught but now I have my own 8 foot fig tree so happy 🎉
Actually, when I have my own fig trees, I am more inclined to grow fig cuttings. failure is fine. More or less, there are always some cuttings that rot. The rest cuttings that successfully grow roots and leaves, I can make them stronger, taller and sprout more roots.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the method as there’s a major grower/garden centre in the area and when I go into the greenhouse is to look at their massive fig trees there’s always air layering pots, full size, on many of the branches that they are rooting out directly on the tree. Try again 😊
@@MikeKincaid79 It is a poplar sucker right by our fountain it is very well developed so I decided to air layer it and left it basically most of the season and nothing, however I do live on the dry side of WA so I might have to start sooner before it gets to hot
Here’s a video of Ross Raddi doing softwood green air layers. Like you, no hormones, and no scoring the bark or removing it. He uses sandwich bags instead of pods, but the only SIGNIFICANT difference is his starting them in July instead of August. Try again earlier next year! ua-cam.com/video/wxkLwBh7TQs/v-deo.html
Dang 40% videos on figs another 40% on Rhododendron and with 4 million plants to choose from would love to see new prop videos! Thanks

Perhaps if you did half with rooting hormones and half without, see which is best and do them earlier.

Interesting. I'm going to do more experiments with this next summer.
As a side note, as long as the plant is photosynthesizing you can expect roots to grow, even in the winter, albeit as a slower rate
Cool experiment 👍🏻

Absolutely! You can cut some chunks off and stick them in a good rooting medium. They should root as the weather warms this spring.
