Join flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery of Common Farm Flowers as she takes cuttings from tender plants which may not survive the winter outside so that she'll have new stock next spring.

Your description of how to take a cutting is actually the most helpful I have ever seen ( and I’ve watched a lot). Thank you as ever.

Thank you. Good info. Now I realize what I have been doing wrong. Trying again tomorrow. My name is not Joe. Just using my husband's phone since mine took a dive into the toilet earlier this spring and am too frugal to put out for a new one since his works perfectly fine and he never ever uses his.

Thank you so much for the lovely instruction. I live in Corvallis, Oregon, USA. We have similar weather here in the Willamette Valley and I can hear the rain and wind outside my window as I type. I'm a Master Gardener here in the USA which is to say that I've been through a course through my local University, but part of being an avid gardener is keeping one's eyes and ears open when someone appears on the horizon who imparts a wealth of knowledge in a such a thorough and charming way as you yourself do. So, thank you much! Fatarae

I'm planning to move this winter, leaving my garden of 16 years...I've collected millions (literally) of seeds and taken hundreds of cuttings..it's so easy to do! I have 60 hydrangea cuttings for example..no rooting hormones, literally just placed in garden earth. I've used cutting hormones for roses and shrubs....hundreds of plants. its easy and fun.

@theflowerfarmer 10 месяцев назад

so exciting! I took cuttings for years without rooting powder but for some reason lost my nerve earlier this year with dahlia cuttings because the season was so late and I was worried they wouldn't root in time - and now I have this little pot of rooting powder so I may as well use it up - ideas on this list of using both willow and honey as rooting aids seem very sensible to me so I will experiment x

@wjs5773 10 месяцев назад

@@theflowerfarmer someone mentioned recently that honey and cinnamon powder are good rooting aids too.

@pollywaffledoodah3057 10 месяцев назад

Here in sunny Australia, it's the done thing to dip your cuttings in honey - an old gardening chap once told me that it was because good honey from a good beekeeper, will kill the diseases that cause rot. Nature has all the answers - as usual! By the way, I loved what you said in the previous vlog, about not washing every single day, that it just wasn't necessary,. I confess that I do that too, every now and then, when I've been inside all day, sketching or painting - and haven't worked up a sweat. But from now on, whenever I skip a shower, I'm going to say I'm 'doing a Georgie'!!

@theflowerfarmer 10 месяцев назад

lol - v glad to discover so many keen non-washers in my community here - we'll all save the planet one less bath at a time - and I think I'm going to do a trial next year with honey, rooting powder, willow tea, and nothing, to see what roots best - though imagine all will work well x

@karenhenderson2624 10 месяцев назад

Just love listening to you Georgie, you talk a lot of sense. I now know where I have been going wrong with cuttings. It's always been hit and miss for me, but hopefully now I should have more success. We're you a teacher in your past life. Just wondering. Great video by the way.

@theflowerfarmer 10 месяцев назад

Good luck with the cuttings - no I've never been a teacher teacher but have taught workshops and demos since I started flower farming fourteen years ago xxx

@1Thedairy 10 месяцев назад

Georgie, your watering advise is very useful. I made that mistake of watering from above because the soil was crusty and I wasn’t successful with my cuttings but I am now! I love listening to your demos first thing in the morning with my cup of tea as you are always so cheerful. It was very miserable here yesterday in Somerset but today the sun is shining. Hooray!

@theflowerfarmer 10 месяцев назад

I know the weather's been apocalyptic hasn't it - luckily dry enough between downpours today for lots of flower harvesting x

@donnajames7912 10 месяцев назад

I have taken cuttings from my Salvia Armistead, they rooted within a week, and really grew like crazy, I’ve already potted them on , I’m just hoping I can nurture them on throughout the winter as they have grown quite a lot. We are finally moving after 3 years into our own property , with a greenhouse, so hopefully they will live be ok. Thank you for your brilliant advice, especially cutting down the stem to divide the cutting, I will be trying this!! Enjoying your videos and advice.

Hi Georgie the type of cutting you did with rosemary is called a heel cutting which is a good description.

Always love your videos although I just ‘discovered’ you earlier this year. Although I have been gardening in a large garden for a few decades 🫣 I am still learning new things all the time. I was especially interested in your experience of peat free compost as I have not had great results with it so far. Here in Scotland and probably in the rest of the UK, compost with added peat will no longer be sold to the home gardener from 2024, so I loved your tip about watering from below. I will try that - thank you ❤

The red salvia is possibly Salvia coccinea 'Lady In Red'. I bring a pot inside for the winter, but I have another pot outside that comes back every year.

Could well be xxx

@alisonburgess345 10 месяцев назад

Good stuff - I got some snapdragon cuttings through winter in the greenhouse, which sounds a bit mad, but i've then got some pretty big plants to go out earlier. Don't know how they'll perform yet - they are an annual so it'll be interesting to see.

@theflowerfarmer 10 месяцев назад

Yes very interesting - for me snaps will last in the garden as short lived perennials if I nurture them a bit. x

@sarahbarton2089 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for your lovely, helpful videos. Please say how long you leave the pots , standing in water?

@theflowerfarmer 10 месяцев назад

About half an hour - or until they feel heavy with water x

Peat is not renewable! And it damages the environment . Using peat moss is unsustainable. Thank you for promoting not using peat😍 Organic Mechanics is a substitute made in Pennsylvania and is available at whole Foods Markets and wherever you buy gardening supplies.

Our weather is strange at the moment too. We are in spring yet Sydney yesterday 20/9 had 35 degrees Celsius. We in Melbourne had 26 degrees. That is ridiculous for spring. Our potting soil and our seed and cutting mix is full of bark so I sift them to get a good light mix. Your potting soil looks great wish I could get it here in Australia. I call the side shoot that you rip away from the main plant a heel do you call it the same? Georgie I’ve been told that honey is a good rooting assistant and it has worked for me. Thank you cheers.

@theflowerfarmer 10 месяцев назад

this is the second good idea for rooting help after this clip - I can imagine honey would be good x

@maureen3621 10 месяцев назад

Sylva means wood so you may find the odd twig in it. There is a particular toy family who live in tree houses.

Awful weather today, I wondered how many layers got wet through today. It feels like it could have filled a pair of welly boots in about 5 minutes.

@theflowerfarmer 10 месяцев назад

hopefully dryer today - a lot of flowers to cut here x

@hilshils3426 10 месяцев назад

Lovely video thank you. So you don’t add grit to your sylvagrow compost…is that because it is already very free draining?

@theflowerfarmer 10 месяцев назад

no grit - I'm notoriously mean and if I can save a penny anywhere I will - I find watering from underneath makes a great difference x

@soniagabriel3585 10 месяцев назад

@anitagrays3457 10 месяцев назад

When rooting in water, I have used a slip of willow in the jar as a rooting enhancer. I'm unsure where I learned that tip.

@theflowerfarmer 10 месяцев назад

such a good idea! x

@jeffreyirwin1135 10 месяцев назад

I thought you could use wilow bark for rooting?

@theflowerfarmer 10 месяцев назад

I think you can - it's amazing how much information one can forget! but I think I knew this but had completely forgotten. Someone else here has suggested honey. I might do a trial next year but need to make willow bark tea first I think - will do more research. x
