Thanks for checking out my channel! I'm all about showing tips and tricks on new ways to grow plants, veggie and we'll anything else that will grow. ZONE 7A, hillside garden located in West Central WV. I have the typical backyard garden but also experiment with gardening in the woods and other semi-wild methods. Join me for this awesome journey.
.. Wow.. I think it is a plant like this that I rescued only days ago, or, I'm trying to rescue the poor thing.. I found it in the garden trash where I live, and brought it home with me.. Only I had no idea what kind of plant it is, and since it's no bigger than one of your cuttings with leaves half the size and completely dehydrated.. But looking at your plant and cuttings, I can recognise the leaves as the same plant that I found.. If it's family to succulents then maybe I should give it the same soil mix??.. Thank you so very much for sharing this, you just gave me a little work to do 🤗
Beautiful, outstanding and an awesome helpful video 😊 thank you !Dave the Hillside Gardener for sharing. I just purchased a thatcher rake and love its performance… your RU-vid video is very encouraging and makes me proud to continue to work with hand tools for the yard I
When you layer a stem with success and cut the "donor" stem and move the new growth to another location, you lose the "donor" stem's growth is that correct? I have a healthy vine but with only two long vine stems so if I layer one it will be sacrificed from the process and overall set the main plant back - is this correct? Could the "donor" vine be layered a second time or at the cut tip?
Once you cut the donor stem as you refer to it. The mother plant will generally put on new growing buds. Unless you cut it back in a way that damages the mother plant you should be fine
So helpful! I have a snake plant that needs to be propagated soon, it's been the one plan that never quits on me which I love. It's overgrowing its little pot, but more than that, I'm wondering how to get it to be strong enough to stay standing upright verses flopping over. Any ideas?
Don’t over water. And give plenty of light. Sometimes people think they can grow in the dark and water every week. This usually is not a good idea overall.
@@DaveTheHillsideGardener Thank you - I water 'her' once every couple of weeks, and she sits next to the window, but has gotten really tall and slender, making the leaves bend down. Maybe it will be better once I re-pot!
Frankly the 70 plus year old peonies inherited from my mother have never been pruned except just before snow for less waste on the ground in spring. In far north of Idaho. Love them dearly. They are spring angels of the garden.
Yes. Wait until late winter and take hardwood cuttings keep damp not wet and humid. When you see new growth gradually decrease humidity and start to water a bit
Yeheah! I love those flowers and man, growing up, my mom had one, my dad used to run it over with the lawnmower scalping it to the ground, it was a bush again in 2 months with flowers all over again!
Yea if not callused just don’t water them for a week. I used just barely damp soil just so something is there. Once I notice new growth I start to slowly increase the watering
Thank you for this video! It has helped answer so many questions. I was gifted a Kalenchoe a few years ago and she was teeny tiny and now she’s just sprawled out everywhere. Thanks to your video I can now (with confidence) 🤭 propagate and tidy her up. Thank you! ☺️
Save yourself some time. Grab your hedge trimmer go at it. Just watch where you’re going. You’ll be done in half the time. It’s worked for me for years. Peonies are tough and can take it
@@DaveTheHillsideGardenerYour method is great if you’re pruning a bush or two. I have a peony “hedge” approximately 50’ feet long. So, this works quickly and the hedge thrives. The first bush I ever got was a transplant from my Grandmother’s garden, which now makes the bush almost 100 years old and still growing strong
It was a healthy plant but every time it set fruit they never ripened and fell off. I think the ants were eating them? It was a fun experiment nonetheless
Nice video, I have a pepper plant ( I think) that has beautiful blooms that are quite large and half of the flower is yellow and half is red. Would you have any idea what it could be
Dear Dave, Hillside Gardener! Thank you for the informative video about the care and propagation of coleus! Your expertise really shines through and I have learned a lot about how to grow and maintain these beautiful plants. The tips and tricks you shared were practical and easy to follow, making them accessible to both new and experienced gardeners. I appreciate the effort and passion you put into creating such high quality content. Watching your video has inspired me to take better care of my coleus plants and try some of the propagation methods you demonstrated. I would be very happy if you would also take the time to visit my RU-vid channel. Your support and feedback will mean a lot to me as I continue to create and share my own content. Let's continue to encourage and learn from each other in this wonderful gardening community! Best wishes, Vladimir 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪
If you germinate in early winter indoors plant outside after last frost. I usually grow them the first season in containers and transplant in fall about 3 weeks before first frost
I have pale pink peonies that were growing when we bought the property. The blooms are massive, I would say nearly twice the size of your white ones and way too much for the stems, so I do have to stake them. I also do not want them falling on surrounding plants and depriving them of sun. I find if I deadhead as soon as possible, there is a smaller bud hidden under the huge bloom just waiting for its days in the sun!
In a previous home I had a big white flowering clematis that was planted by the previous owners. Early fall it had attached itself all up my rhododendron bushes and my row of Tiger Lillies..a total mess. I didn’t have a computer to look up what to do. It took me hours to get it all out of the rhododendrons. I cut that back to almost the ground and it came back loaded with beautiful white flowers. I am in zone 8b PNW I have layered my rhododendrons and hydrangeas the same way you did your clematis…didn’t know you could do it with clematis. Thank you very much! I bought 2 different varieties; 1- five years ago and 1 last year. I am super excited to do this!!!😊
You may want to wait until fall and dig the Clematis and divide it and transplant so it doesn’t tangle up your rhododendrons. They propagate easily as well.
@@DaveTheHillsideGardener That clematis was in a previous home I lived in. I did add training supports and kept it out of the rhododendrons and off the tiger Lillie’s after that episode. I really looked forward to seeing it bloom each year. The house I live in now didn’t have any clematis so I bought 2 different varieties and I am excited to propagate through layering as I’ve done that method with rhododendrons and hydrangeas but didn’t realize you could do it with clematis. I really like this method as it’s simple and you don’t need any grow lights or greenhouse, TYFS😊
Hi Dave. I'm growing the variety "Twist & Shout". I'd love a video on how to perhaps overwinter some cuttings. Last year this variety got to be over 5 feet tall in the sun. To me it's worth trying to overwinter in some fashion. Great video. Thanks.
We cut ours down to the ground when they start to die off around the middle of of August. We live in Southwest Missouri and ours come back really great every year . We have had these plants for 30 years. We dig them up and divide about every 5 years. We have given a ton of plants to neighbors and friends.
