My grandmother would go to K-mart and come home with her apron pockets stuffed with leaves! She never bought geraniums she would take a leaf and bring it home to grow it from that stem!
I do this all the time for my indoor and outdoor guys as well. I sometimes use rooting powder with excellent results. Thank you for sharing your tips. Going outside today to get my plants ready, I'll be making a small greenhouse with some old windows.
Thank you so much I really really appreciate watching you propagate those garden plants. Hydrangeas are very very easy, and Fatsia is too the same way. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing!! I LOVE Hydrangeas and never knew they could be propagated!! But I love propagating my houseplants and creating FREE houseplants!!❤
When I repotted my scraggly my Scindapsus pictus that was never very bushy, it was only then that I realized it was only 3 vines in the pot… This upset me greatly, so I cut the longest vine back to the length of the other two, and am currently propagating 6 leaves. I decided to use rooting hormone and perlite. Waiting for the root that grew to branch a bit, can’t wait to plant them back in the pot. I also got tired of my string of hearts being so thin so I bought 2 more 4in pots for $5 apiece, grew them out, and have been regularly cutting back the main one when it starts to dust the floor and planting them back in the main pot. So far doing great, can’t wait for them all to be as large as the main plant!
Great video as ever :) I was initially confused with the hydrangea cutting above the leaf joint until you explained later in the video that you can get away with this because it roots so easily that you don't have to cut below the joint as usual. I wonder if there are any other advantages to this approach... Also, I wonder if rooting would be enhanced still further by cutting below a joint...
Thank you so much for answering my question. I followed your directions for rerooting the Basil. In less than 1 weeks the stems turn black and start to shrivel and no roots have grown! HELP!! What should I do?? Thank you!
Nice plant! I don't have the plant myself but the principles will be the same. Take a few stems cuttings underneath a leaf node and stick it in some soil.
Hi, really interesting thanks. Would you leave them in a pot for a year or so till planting them out? And could they stay out in an unheated greenhouse over winter?
