How to grow and root Photinia plants including Red Robin from cuttings 

If you found this video helpful please subscribe, it will help me a lot. I am planning to release more videos shortly.

So Daniel did the cutting survive? Can we have an update please?

Hey Daniel! how are your cuttings looking? I think the best method for taking Red Robbin cuttings is softwood in the summer and semi ripe in the autumn, not hardwood as you have done. you don't need them to be as long either and can even do "node to node". The honey is a bit of a myth, alot of cuttings will root without any hormone or something added. i believe the honey is "beneficial" due to its anti bacteria properties, although id personally buy a good brand of rooting hormone powder and give your cutting tips a light dusting in that instead. also, its best to leave one or two leaf's at the top of the cutting, you could even cut them in half to decrease perspiration. one last thing, make sure you have a good mix for your medium, add some sand, grit or/and perlight for good drainage and aeration :) how about you go out and take a bunch of cuttings (10 - 20) and try different methods, you could stick 6 or more in each pot the size you used. see what works best, my money is on this cutting not rooting but we will see :) (can take 6-8 weeks) Best of luck, Matt

Daniel I love the way u keep saying "apparently " all the way through the video like it was your first time doing this well it was a really good simple video and I'm dying to see how the cutting did red Robin is my wife's favourite

TY for the lesson. I'm thinking of starting cuttings of a lot of other plants too my favorite right now are the purple queen and potato Vines 😁

Thank you, the simplest and best explained method I've seen :)

Thanks Daniel, I'll try the clear honey, hadn't heard that one before, new subscriber! 🌱

Hi Daniel, not one of my cuttings have ever taken! I will try again, for the 100th time. When making a video for viewing an extra microphone would help greatly! I am unable to hear clearly on many videos, so I just watch.

I just planted this from cutting, in central Texas. Instead of soil/compost, i experimented with sand...we shall see how out turns out

Very best 👌 👍

Subscribed cause you seem a good guy and easy instructions 👌 keep up the work

i have tried this on griseilinia several times, always fails, must be a knack as all the growers use this method.

Thank you Daniel, we live in the center of France , warmer climat than the north , when do you recommend doing this ? Thank you in advance

Daniel en que estación del año es lo mas recomendable hacerlo

tried several times, just like you described. It doesn't work for some reason. :(

Tnx❤

Sooooo where did part 2 go on this? I'm just about to take some cuttings off mine, to place in a dark corner of the garden behind a wall, idea being ill grow them in pots in full sun, until they reach about wall height, to then transfer to the ground

Thank you. 👌💕

love this video keep making them really helpful (:

Thank you 🌺

the cutting looked too long to me. Also shouldn't there be some grit in the pot as well?

why cut the bottom leaf off last? is there a method to this for the plant?

Hi is there a follow up video? How did it do?

THE CUTTING IS WAY TO LONG, ONLY HALF THAT AMOUNT IS REQUIRED. THE PLANT HAS TO USE A HUGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY TO KEEP THIS ALIVE & BE ABLE TO GROW. ONLY AROUND 8-10 CM IS REQUIRED . YOU ALSO SHOULDNT TAKE CUTTING WHEN A PLANT IS FLOWERING. CUTTING LEAVES IN HALF IS SOME NEW WEIRD FAD, ISNET NESSARIERY OR REQUIRED, JUST LEAVE TWO LEAVES AT THE TOP. ''CUTTING THE LEAF ''WILL CAUSE MORE STRESS TO THE PLANT . HONEY , NEVER HEARD OF THIS BUT ILL TRY IT AS IT LASTS FOR LIFE AS A RESOURCE , NEVER GOES OFF , SO COULD WORK WELL.

Thanks for a great video. What is the best time to do this? Spring, summer, late summer?

Turn up volume!!

You keep saying assume is this the first time you have performed this exercise?

Can I keep red photinias in pots forever? Wanna put them along fence for privacy but I wanna be able to move them if I need too?

should have poured the honey into a smaller container

instead of honey use an appropriate woody root hormone - much better results

Where do you leave the plant? 🙏🙏🙏🙏, outside or?

I tried this method 3 times in the spring time but it never worked for me.

Hey guys I’m wondering how your Photinia turned out. I can’t see a follow up Appreciate any feedback

Dear Daniel, why do you use honey?

Did it work (grow)?

Js

Why the honey? 🤔🤔😂😂😂 Does it work?

?

Volume

As soon as you said apparently we can tell you dont know what your doing.

Daniel&John died of alcohol

This guy has no idea what he's talking about, I'm truly not sure why he bothered but he's only managed to waste people's time.

Why do you keep saying 'apparently' we watch these videos for instruction and advice, not someone telling us us that apparently this is what you do! It dos not give viewers confidence.
