Can we keep a Walking Iris in a pot? We have one in a pot and it bloomed 5 times for th4e first time EVERF!! Now she is to walk away with 5 babies!I did put a pot of dirt nect to it and its startng to walk over.
I had to do it..lost the single stem still in pot, was about 14 inches tall and 2 1/2 inches wide. The head got a lot of roots, it has been in a vase of water for months, one stem section sprouted leaves and roots, and the other section lots of roots but no leaves. Any suggestions on how to get some sprouting leaves?
I think I have this tree. It was about 18” tall a little less than 3 years ago. It’s 10’ tall now and only has one stalk and I have it outside on the front porch. It’s only getting afternoon sun but we live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Thanks for your advice on how I should prune it
I just topped my 40 year old one. My mum got it for an engagement present. I hope the top survives! Then it will be able to continue continuously growing taller. It's pretty terrifying cutting something that is so old and has sentimental value. It feels like it's part of the family. The top had a lot of leaves. It probably has about 500mm of stem with leaves and I left about 300 mm below the leaves. What's the likelihood it'll survive? They sound pretty hardy
Lots of questions so bare with me. Is there a best time of the year to do this, I'm in the U.S.A. ? Also I was told to cut them on a 45 degree angle but you cut yours straight across, so does it really matter? How deep should they be planted in soil? Do you recommend they be planted in soil or rooted i n water?
I have a plant that's a good 5 meters high in my back yard it's a beast. I have rip it out for a Reno, can I propgate large limbs directly into the ground of a new garden bed?
Thanks for wrecking my plants. The mother plant survived, but all stem cuttings (some with a few leaves) failed. Next time try to be more detailed, as a result a large stem that I grew for years was now totally wasted, I was hoping to grow several new plants. Not happy! 😡
Great video. I just 'discovered' the love of plants and I'm in awe of them the more I learn. Chopping the Cordyline like that and making essentially 4 plants instead of one is mindblowing. I've got a couple of very leggy cordies that I can't wait to try this on
Thank you so much for your time, I never knew it was that easy. 😂I LOVE RU-vid🤣I have a few Draceana that have been with me for many moons & have grown taller then me🤣✌🏾
I'm so surprised. I thought this was supposed to be cut at an angle. Is it okay to cut it diagonally as opposed to the straight cut? And can the cut off branch be put into water to root instead of straight back into the pot?
Thank you so much for this video! What zones are these safe to plant outside? I'm in zone 6-7 in the US. I've never seen them outside here. I have seen them in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Also, do you know if they do better with alkaline or acidic soil?
Thanks for your excellent easy to follow instructions. Hopefully I will be as successful as you. Thanks! One question I have is, how do your dracaena plants that are in the ground outside handle winter? I live in the mid Atlantic region of the US and while unpredictable our winters can be quite cold. Appreciate your advice.
I just saw this video its 5 years old .... do you have an update on the cuttings growth please? I have a plant with one stem and 3 shoots never pruned, don't think I need to and its FULL of leaves its about 3ft tall
Excellent info! So happy to know there's hope for my Cordyline. I wintered it over in a sunroom that gets no direct sun. The leaves kept dying off and left only a few at the top of the three shoots. Now I'll have six shoots!
Thank you for this video. I'm in Southern Michigan, USA. I have a dracaena that is getting overgrown, your video is the clearest that I found on how to prune it. I was very nervous about cutting it back but as soon as the weather warms up I'm going to permanent based on your suggestions. thank you.
To those of you not familiar with growing and pruning mulberry trees. She knows exactly what she's doing. If you don't want to climb up a ladder to pick the fruit you have to hard prune at least every other year. Mulberry trees in warm climates grow extremely fast. What she cut off will grow back in one year.
I've been wondering what to do with our sad looking Dracaena plant. It was the first house plant that we bought and we've had it for a long time but it's terrible leggy now. I know now to turn the pots regularly to avoid it growing too much in one direction but I found this out a bit too late for this one. I was worried it was going to have to be put out to pasture but looks like I will wait until spring and then give this a go.
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. One of four planted in the same pot got root rot, the obvious signs started with yellowing leaves but I thought it was possibly the close proximity to our gas-powered wall heater but then noticed only one of them were losing leaves and, the worst sign, very bottom of the stem closest to the soil is mushy. Was thinking I could just cut all the dead leaves then straight up chop halfway up the stem and check the others roots for rot. Thank you for encouraging my experiment!!!
