How to propagate lavender from cuttings - The easy way! 

I am so glad to be of help! 🤗❤️ I make cuttings in the fall and put them in the green house and thru the winter they make roots, and in the spring i just change the pots or leave them in the soil until the next fall when i dig them out and plant them. And i make cuttings even in the spring! Its the same thing....i will make a video probably in October on how to propagate Lavender in the Fall!

This is the link to the video with the cuttings that i did in the spring! 😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a2jYvvmCJ-I.html

@@TheLavenderFarmer Thanks for the link - I did look through your more recent videos, but somehow missed it! I have about 40 cuttings in a cold frame now - fingers crossed for luck 😁

@@EaterOfBaconSandwiches if they wilt now, just wait a month for the temperature to drop under 20 celsius degrees, and do it again....they will succeed, guaranteed! 😊❤️🤗

So glad that the video is helpful! If its already warm and the plant is green, than cover the cuttings with a humidity dome, or a plastic bag, and no direct sunlight!

Glad to be of help....i did the same thing. In front of my house i have two rows of lavender, i will make a video when they are in bloom! :) Have a wonderful day!

So glad to be helpful! 🤗

Glad that i can be of help! 🤗

If its just a small lavender from a plug than you probably dont have were to take a cutting, but if is a second year you can easily propagate! 😊

You are welcome! 🤗

Glad to be helpful! 🤗

Thank you, so glad to be of help! 😊

@@TheLavenderFarmercan you start cuttings in the ground as well during late summer?

@@TrickleCreekFarm if the temperature is still high you cannot because the cuttings wil wilt! But in the middle of the autumn is the perfect time to start. I will make a video about it when the weather is suitable for making Lavender cuttings! 😊

@@TheLavenderFarmer I appreciate your prompt response, thank you! Perhaps you can address these questions as well in that video: If I put them in the ground when it is cooler will they over winter just fine with some mulch? (We dropped to 7 degrees F in February)As well, what is the best spacing for ease of transplant in the spring? Is it helpful to introduce a bit more sand in the cutting bed to help with root release ? Again, thank you kindly.

@@TrickleCreekFarm so....the cuttings will root very well directly into the ground planted from October, but amend the soil with sand, but only for propagating objectives. The spacing between the plants is different for every species. The angustifolia are smaller and i let between plants on the row 50 - 60 cm, and between the rows around 100 and 130 cm. Most of the x intermedia types are bigger so i let at least 70 cm between plants on the same row, and at least 130 cm between the rows! I hope it helps! 🤗 I will make a separate video about it if you think its useful!

If in your zone its warmer now, you will have to cover the cuttings with a plasric bag or a humidity dome! 🤗

@@TheLavenderFarmer Thanks for the advice

@@brightgreencarrot 🤗❤️

Glad to be helpful, if the plant is green already, and probably is, put the cutting under a humidity dome, or cover it with a plastuc bag, and place the pot where is light but no direct sun! 🤗

Glad to be helpful! 🤗

🤗 Glad to be of help!

Wow....so happy to be helpful, living the American dream! Sănătate multa! ❤️🤗

Glad to be helpful! 🤗

In August i think its still hot so i would try softwood cuttings covered with plastic bag for retaining the humidity inside. Place the cuttings somewhere they have light but not direct sunlight. In the fall, October, November, i use hardwood cuttings planted directly in the ground or in propagating trays!

@@TheLavenderFarmer thanks I'll try propagation from my newly purchased Spanish/ French lavender.

@@charlieuliginosa2494 just be careful, Spanish Lavender-Stoechas does not stand temperatures below - 5 celsius or 23 degrees Fahrenheit!

Yes you can, but now its kinda warm outside, the plant is probably green! So take the little cutting, put it in a pot water it and cover it with a plastic transparent bag. Or if you have a humidity dome its better. Put the cuttings somewhere there is light but not direct sunlight, it will melt the cutting, and from time to time let a little air inside. I propagate mostly in the early spring and and late fall because iys colder so i dont have to be careful with the cuttings! Thank you, hope you are successful! 🤗

Glad to be of help! 🤗

@@TheLavenderFarmer New subscriber looking forward to seeing more of your gardening tips.

@@ibdam1 see you on the next video! 🤗

❤️🤗❤️

I've just put 12 lavender plugs in a 1 litre pots,I didn't have enough Coco so I used soil from my garden to half fill the pots, then Coco on the top half,I used Coco as I had some spare,I'm not a gardener but I'm giving it a try,I've done the same with a butterfly plant,it's called something like pink lalandie.

​@@lloyeds the soil from the garden its heavy so you should mix it with perlite, or sand and compost! The roots need to breed, and the soil from the garden will just become damper!

​@@lloyedsthats how we start becoming gardeners, trying, failing and trying again until we fail no more...thats the beauty of gardening! 🤗

Yes, i had succes with roses to. I prune them in the fall or in the spring, after the risk of frost passed away, and then i take the cuttings and i cover them with a pladtic bottle, maybe i will do a video! 🤗

Have you ever pruned them?

There could be a lot of reasons, but most of the time is because of lack of drainage and too much water!
