I don’t mess around with plastic, holes, rubber bands…..I just put my cuttings in a glass jar with water and place the stems in. I top up the water when is low and until the roots start forming. Nothing clever DIY needed 😂🇬🇧😂
فكرة رائعة جداً جداً جداً أعجبت بها أشكركم جزيل الشكر والتقدير والاحترام المتبادل لكم أجمعين تحياتي لكم جميعاً من سورية🇸🇾 من دمشق الياسمين لكل شخص منكم تحية مني بالتوفيق 🌹🙏
That was my first thought too, why go through all this hole making instead of just sticking cuttings into water in easier way? just put them into a vase or glass. it is not that their roots will tangle so much in 14 days.
I've been trying this method forever with whole stem cuttings (leaves from the bottom half removed) and half stems (whole stems cut in half, bottom half leaves removed) whenever I have leftovers from the supermarket but the leaves always turn brown within a couple of days. I change the water daily and have it out in direct sunlight but nothing seems to work. On a side note I've tried with with thyme and coriander too but it always ends up wilting and dying. The only success I've ever had with water propagation is with mint leaves. Anything else doesn't work, any advise?
Oh, I _really_ like the trick with the bottle! If you've got an old plastic bottle lying around that's a great way to reuse it, must give this a go as it's always a little hit-and-miss trying to get rosemary cuttings to root in soil.
I think it also good idea to add root hormones into this liquid rooting technique too..I wonder anyone else tried this successfully and coming back here to comment reviewing
I guess the water stays warm but the leaves are not molding which can quickly happen if you use glass + plastic bag (even with holes)….smart method for doing it in winter and place it on a radiator
Rosemary does well in containers in a soil-based, peat-free compost. Add crocks to the bottom of pots to aid drainage. Keep rosemary plants well watered during dry spells and feed with a general fertiliser during the growing season. In cold winters, bring plants under cover for protection.
I have heard to mix in sand, perlite and pumice to regular potting soil as Rosemary do not like wetness. For the rooting baby plants, what is the soil composition to use? The same?
@@Miko62642 Yes. Rosemary thrives in soil that is low in nutrients and free-draining. Therefore, sandy, rocky, coarse soil textures will be best as large clumps of organic matter or dense manures that hold too much water will encourage root rot. In the summer, water rosemary when the top of the soil feels dry. Make sure the plant is not sitting in soggy soil because overwatering can cause rotting and insect issues. In the winter, keep your indoor rosemary plants just moist. Let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
Must the cuttings be placed in indirect sunlight? I have rosemary (and thyme) cuttings in a small bottle of water in direct sunlight and most of the leaves turn brown, dry out or wilt within a couple of days. Never had success trying to propagate them in water. Any advise?
@@GreatGardenTV I've always thought rosemary cuttings need full sunlight since that's how it is for the plant. Hopefully it's still salvageable. Oh btw, living near the equator so temperature isn't an issue but it is humid here. Will that affect thing significantly?
thank you for shaering your rosemary step on growing and planting yes iam the same just love the smell and tasce you cant beat rosemary in a roast again thank you
quelqu'un a déjà essayé cette technique? est ce efficace? même avec le basilic , il faut plus de 15 jours et il me semblait que ça ne fonctionnait pas avec le romarin
Cette année j'essaie avec des rameaux de l'année (encore verts)qui ont commencé à se développer au printemps, et que j'ai prélevé hier (fin juin). l'An passé, j'ai tenté la multiplication avec des rameaux prélevés à l'automne en utilisant la méthode en pot et sous sachet plastique translucide ; mais dès que j'ai enlevé les sacs à la fin de l'hiver, les plants ont commencé à dessécher rapidement. Il faut sans doute le faire plus progressivement en faisant des petits trous dans le plastique pour rééquilibrer l'humidité relative lentement avec celle de l'environnement ambiant.
@@minha2202 Alors voilà, 15 jours après avoir prélevé 6 rameaux de 15/20 cm encore verts, retiré 2 à 4 bouquets de feuilles du bas et les avoir fait tremper (jusqu'au niveau des premières feuilles du bas) le jour même ; la 1/2 des boutures commence à présenter des racines, dont certaines mesurent près de 2 cm de long. Les racines émergent des anciens nœuds où étaient fixées les feuilles.
