Ever wondered how to successfully propagate plants by cuttings? Wonder no more – Steven and I are back again to show you how to do it! We go over the basic principles, some things to watch out for, and the plants that are best suited for this type of propagation method.
This is the last video in my series with Steven for a bit, so expect more hydroponics and urban gardening stuff for the next few weeks.

What are the thoughts on water propagation? And would you use a rooting hormone/honey if using the water method?
I came to hear a quick intro to propagating, but wow that guy is a wealth of information!
Bit confused here. You dont use hormone powder because you want to maintain natural selection, but then dip it in honey anyway because of its anti bacterial properties?
In nature, a cutting wouldnt naturally dip in honey anyway, and by doing so you are assisting with natural selection, so im confused by your rationale.
I learned so much from this video thanks a lot
Verlisify’s cousin lol
Thank you so much for the insights into propagation with many helpful tips. Especially liked the part about the use or even not of rooting hormone. Honey was used instead.
Funny thing I accidentally planted a bougainvillea cutting upside down. Then I noticed roots sprouting out on top a week after. Good thing I used humdity dome . It survive after I replanted.
Thankyou very much so I should do propagating just before spring time like January for all plants?
I don't really get the argument of not using rooting hormone for the sake of natural selection as all the cuttings are genetically identical to the parent tree? Any variance in survival is thus due to the current health of the specific cutting and not be reflected in the final plant.
Hi, can you grow mandarin trees from cuttings of a mature tree? How long does it take for the cuttings to begin producing fruit? Thank you!

Wow i love that video The Way God intended to be the natural way you're very well keeping it real i like your T Shirt. How can i get a shirt like that I'm a Gardner
survival of the fittest, reproduction of the strongest.
do plants reproduce naturally through broken branches?
Thanks. I need this because someone gave me mulberry tree and ask me to cut into half and use the other half with leaves to plant another tree.
This is very interesting. I'm just about to do some cuttings from my Olive and fig trees and pulled up a random video to listen to while I prepped. I have always used root toner and I'm going to try the honey method!
The "weak genetics" argument is faulty since cuttings have the exact same genes as the plant you took them from. It's not a new specimen, it's a clone. If you take multiple cuttings from the same plant, there's no natural selection or gene improvement if some die while others don't.
Should the cuttings be kept in mostly shade? When can they move to full sun if that's what the plant requires? Thanks for ALL the content you provide! <3
Interesting that humans want to curtail natural selection in humans …. hmmm. Humans are hilarious they care so much about animals and plants but sht on themselves and their own.
This was great! I hope you make a more thorough version! I learned so much
Hello from Sacramento! Thank you for the great information. I have been trying to get my cuttings to take with rooting hormone in seed starting soil. I started with a few Roses, a Juniper and a Spruce. All of my attempts have shriveled up and died. You make it sound so easy, but I'm obviously doing something wrong and I really want to get this to work.
It's a clone. Genetics are 100% the same. Your reasoning is fatally flawed. Nice try, but absolute nonsense.
Great video thanks for the advice.
Am I the only one wondering who the un introduced woman was in this video?
Just saw this and this guy doesn't know what he is talking about.
I wonder if he applies this to his kids
Let them die, don't give any boost in nutrition etc
I've been told alovera works as a rooting hormone. I've got it growing all of my garden. It seems to work well and it's free 🙂
Thanks, you explain things well.
what soil do you use
Interesting. Just one question: What kind of fertilizer does that guy use on his eyebrows?
Power bottom.
