Thank you so much for the video.I like to ask about ALMOND trees how can i air layering Almond trees cause i tried and not succeeds please i wait your reply.
I'm not sure where you are, but here in the Sacramento area if we stick a 6" piece of fig or grape in the ground, it will grow. It's that easy! I'm not sure I've lost ANY of the ones I've tried. And, we have rooted stone fruit scion wood.
try honey , it works the best of anything i found USUALLY its organic
The info is amazing!
I use raw honey as a rooting hormone, also.
you know? i mean you know right? you know you know you know? do you know? i know, you know? yea you know?
A site of potentiality? LOL it's a node bruh
"Ya know?"
Thanks, great class! Saved me a trip ha
Does desert willow also work for willow tea?
I am in love with all of this living and creating a way for others to live. Thank you.
very usfull for bio system technology thank you
I have heard or read somewhere that Aloe Vera gel (harvested fresh) is also a good rooting food? Do you recommend that or not?
Can you give me some advice? A neighbor gave me a lot of raspberry clippings, most are about 2 feet long and all are this years growth, at the beginning of September. I put them in water under the porch (2 hours of afternoon sun) but they are not rooting. This is my first time trying to propagate plants.
Should I get some rooting compound? Should I cut them into smaller plants? Should I bring them into the garage where it stays warmer at night? Should I put them into a perlite/ peat moss mix? Should I make some kind of humidity chamber?
Can you use yacca as a rooting tee
Thanks so much! Love all the tips!
I’m just in my first year of propagating, had 100% success with rooting Euonymus Manhattan starting them last late spring/early summer into autumn, though everyone said it was too hot (usually 100° F or so for over a month) and wouldn’t work. All methods made good roots; root hormone, none, organic raw honey, pre-soaking, not pre-soaking, scuffing the stem, not scuffing them, alone and in various combinations, and took notes. I cut away the front top half of milk jugs, poked holes in the bottoms, used just potting soil, put a half dozen cuttings in each, popped the jugs in produce bags to make mini-greenhouses and keep moisture in, nipped the corners for drainage, tied the tops of the bags around the neck of the jugs, left the handles on for ease of carrying them around, labeled and dated everything, and set the grand experiment in a shadier spot of the yard, on the slanted roof of a low animal shelter to make sure they drained easily when I watered. I did not do much more than just check weekly to see if they needed water, but the bags hold moisture in nicely, so they didn’t need much. Had no expectations, but had definite high-hopes. They all made great roots. I planted them in autumn, and they are still looking good. I think they are fairly fail-proof, easy ones for some success. Other than houseplants, I have never propagated anything.
Now I’m looking at everything around town as a potential “worth a try” future member of my growing plant family. I keep pruners, cleaner and a bucket in the car. Of course, I ask permission, (unless it’s public property, haven’t done cuttings there yet, but my taxes paid for any small quantity of cuttings, I figure).
So far, business or neighbor, people seem eager to have me shape or trim up their plant. I get a resounding “yes!”. Some businesses are more than happy to wait a bit longer to have to pay a gardener to come do it. I look for people who let theirs get a bit wild, I figured they’d be more open to it, (ultra/over-manicured yards are more likely to have finicky people and that’s fine, they want things how they want them), and I let them tell me how much they do or don’t want removed. Respect goes a long way. I also offer to give them some starts in return, and even plant them for them wherever they want them if they’d like me to, if the cuttings do happen to take root and do well. For evergreen shrubs like Euonymus Manhattan (expensive to buy), and a long fence line that needs some evergreen, uniform privacy covering with the added plus of being variable in height once it grows up, this can be quite the win-win for everyone.
This video has helped me with the finer points, I appreciate you taking the time to make and upload this for us all. 🙂
hi. thankyou for your vid. can you pls tell me how thick a branch you can go with the pet bottle technique.
amazing. so much information to absorb
I used an elderberry stick as a stake and it dint do anything for 2 years then suddenly it sprouted.
this is a very interesting seminar.
"I have a friend, his name is Will Shmitt"
Try bush propagation, take any bush type plant and prune it to produce as many stems as possible let new stems grow a few inches remove all lower leaves raise the height of the growing medium so that the new stems can root into it. Never fails and cuttings can be taken from the top of the plant while it is rooting the new stems.
Ramps? (~53min)
I swear my willow. I plant a new growth willow cutting next to my other cutting for the growth hormone. After the cuttings catch, I dig the willow out and replant it elsewhere as a living fence.
great video;
I have a question
when traveling abroad what would be the best way to transport cuttings in a luggage ,specially when a trip is couple days long ????
