What is the best method of cloning tomato plants? Join me in this fun experiment using 4 different methods of cloning tomato cuttings. 1. A control where I did nothing, 2. dipping the ends in honey, 3. dipping the ends in cinnamon, and 4. dipping the ends in Clonex, a rooting gel. Guess which method didn’t work at all???? No roots! And which method worked the best? I hope you enjoy this cloning experiment. Thanks for watching!

Goats got my garden and even came up under the porch and ate my cherry tomato clones in water bottles, plus they stole my cigarettes!
I can't wait for the updates!!!
Well, I'll be putting off buying Clonex! Thanks for this experiment. I do have a question. Do you know why some of the leaves in the honey and cinnamon ones were discolored?
Does this work with willow branches ?
Very interesting, and thank you! However, cloning gives you a copy of the original plant. If you rather mark the first tomatoes that ripen, wait until last before picking them, and then take the seeds from them, you get a new generation that has proved that it has the best genes to grow in your specific environment. After a few years/generations you'll get plants that are more and more adjusted to your specific environment.
I'm into the 30th generation of homegrown tomatoes that way and now have seeds that produce plants that not only can withstand the cold (I'm at latitude 58) better than any other that I've tried, but also ripen more than a month faster. Just a tip to y'all if you care to wait 30 years… 🙂
Nice experiment. This year i didnt bother rooting them before i put them in soil. Tomato suckers in a 7 cm pot with potting mix, roots out bottom in less than 12 days
Great experiment! Thank you! Didn't know about cinnamon and honey
I used a product named TakeRoot on 6 Yellow Gogi Berry cuttings and all slowly produced roots, and leaves.
Super Video. I love seeing what hosehold stuff can do.
I did a similar thing to clone my micro dwarf tomatoes and I tried all the same methods..I even tried spit..rooting powder…and had same results as you..and yup..spit did the best..lol..its gross but can't argue with results
More research is necessary to conclude 🙂
