Rooting cuttings is EASY and although people make it out to be a science and super cimplicated, all cuttings (and I really do mean all cuttings) need these same things: time, high humidity, moist soil, new growth, and warm temperatures. After those things are covered I will show you exactly how to root a cutting without using rooting hormone. But if you do want to use some, here is a VERY reputable brand that I have used with great success – http://amzn.to/2gmRpHF

Im confused about what is considered "upside down" when inserting the cuttings in soil. About to propogate wine berry. Can you elaborate which side is "up", and which is "down"? Thank you Luke! Love what you do!
Are grapevines a lot different to propagate? Would it be good to have some sand, maybe at the bottom for good drainage? You took cuttings from a dormant plant but your grass is still green?
How do you know when roots have formed. Will there be leaves budding or do you just have to slightly pull to test for roots?
I'm confused, your rooting them under grow lights? Then you're setting them out in the cold till spring?
Probably good to mention that asian honeysuckles are invasive in Michigan and should not be propagated.
I love the idea using honey as a root hormone…. I have two blueberry cuttings and I will use the raw honey to root them…. thank you.
Honey suckle? Are you insane? Lol I’d rather plant native!!
Is apple cuttings provides roots without rooting harmon?
I see another method where one uses a water bottle or container and puts the cuttings just standing up in water like a hydroponic method after it roots a little bit moves to soil container.
Curious if you had any experience with that and if doing it hydroponically grows it faster or what the option/what types of cuttings can you do hydroponically before transferring to soil containers.
Also still a little unsure of where to take the ideal cuts for cloning for different things and what the ideal length and diameter should be when you make the cut. Also if you did uses a long and huge diameter cut will it equate to the age of the clone. For example if you cut a 3inch diameter branch that is 4 to 6 ft tall could you say when it roots it will be older then a small cut that like you have? Really curious if the cut size has any relation to the age at which you start the clone ???
Solved my rabbit problem, 90 cent 2 gallon white buckets, have to buy 20, but perfect for half hydro farming, feed it from the bottom when the roots drop in.
For climbing roses, I bungee cord it 2 feet off the ground so the bottom bucket drops to refill nutrients, miracle grow or whatever…
You share so much with all of us, I wanted to give an idea back. .
Can you air layer blueberry? Ill try next week. Just bought a blueberry bush haven't planted yet. Left a like
Hello MI, I will prune my Plum and Apricot trees tomorrow Would you please teach me how to use cut branches to grow new trees. Pls n thank you. 🙂
Hi MI. So these cuttings don't need to dip in rooting powder and no cover ? What part of sun this pot stay? Once thay are rooting it will be. Fall in here (Edmonton Alberta Canada) would they grow inside till Spring ? Thanks a lot MI
A shame to see invasive species being promoted this way. How about using native alternatives that benefit honey bees and don’t threaten our native ecosystems. Serviceberry, ninebark, elderberry, New Jersey tea, to name a few.
This video has more information than the last 5 videos I watched put together.
Do you know the best way to root Japanese cherry blossoms?
For all of its good, honeysuckle is an extremely invasive species that can easily shade out and kill all kinds of plants, just wanted to make sure that this information was part of the comments
honeysuckle is an invasive weed. I pull up huge handfuls every year.
Will it work for japanese maples ?
I once bought some heather plants in the spring that were flowering and the local bees went nuts for them. The bees certain need early flowers!
Thank you! Great video. How did you sterilize your organic matter? In the oven?
Any chance you could come back to this one again? From start to replanting. I want to move some wild honeysuckle to the front of my yard for bees & birds but I'm not even sure what it looks like with everything being dead outside.
Thank you for the info! Can the shoots coming from ground level of a fruit tree be used as cuttings? I'm pruning them at the moment, and wondering if I can give them a chance to survive and become their own tree!
I can find many videos showing successful rootings of GROWING young shoots yet you say almost never works??? Interesting…..
"Pour a spoonful of cinnamon onto a paper towel and roll the damp stem ends in it . This will encourage the stem to produce more stems, while helping to prevent the fungus that causes damping-off disease"
Two years ago i found out that cinnamon has an antifungal effect, saved an amaryllis bulb that had been put into wax and stuck on a metal base so it stood up by cleaning it off and rubbing some cinnamon on it before putting it into the soil. I hope this helps someone. ^^
Tell me, how do you increase the size of a fruit on a fruit tree?
Honeysuckle is self rooting!
I think you smoked a fat one, before this video.
I would love to see one of the Apple trees to you propagated through cuttings. All of the dozens of videos about it, I still haven’t seen one successful propagation of an Apple tree.
