The BEST Medium for Rooting your Cuttings | 3 Criteria for Successful Plant Propagation

How do you find the best medium for rooting your cuttings? Here are the 3 criteria that I use for successful plant propagation. 1.) The medium must drain well. 2.) It must hold some moisture. 3.) The material should be inert. That's all there is too it. And here's a 4th tip: potting soil is usually not a good rooting medium, although some plant cuttings will root no matter what you put them in. Find a propagation medium that fits that criteria and is sourced locally if possible. If all else fails, use sand.

Use moss as a medium for growing clippings, wet moss in a closed transparent container works perfect, within 2 weeks you have good roots growing, ready for potting. Leave some moss around the roots (so roots are not bare) and add soil around it for "potting".

This was great because I just viewed a rose propagation video and was lamenting the fact that I'm not in an area where fir bark would be easy to obtain. I do, however, live beside the Atlantic Ocean, so to hear your explanation that sand from the beach can be washed really kind of blew my mind. I've avoided it in my soil mixes here for two decades for fear that the salt would kill whatever it touched. Who knew? Your videos are really helpful. Thanks!

@dogslobbergardens6606 3 года назад
One small caveat - when gathering sand in nature, check the drainage before assuming. I recently harvested some sand from a creek bank and was shocked to find that it didn't drain worth a hoot! Turns out, that's due to the heavy clay soil in the area; the large sand particles that were washed down to the creek are actually coated with the tinier clay particles, which makes the mixture hold water like crazy. I don't know how often that happens, but just check what you find by putting some in a small container with drainage holes and dumping water in it. You'll know real quick if you want to use it or not.

Mike, guess where I found fine fir bark, it's sold at pet stores as bedding for reptiles. It's quite pricey, but I wanted to experiment on Japanese maple seeds to see if there is any difference in germination rates between rooting them in the sand (I bought play sand), cocoa coir, or the fine fir bark. Of course, I'll have to wait until fall to collect seeds. You've inspired me to experiment, and I've rooted several different shrubs from cuttings. This is so much fun! ~Margie

In the video Mike explains that seeds should be started in a nutritious material (not inert) because they are quickly ready to take up nutrients. However for cutting, they take a while to even devlop roots that can take up nutrients. During that much longer wait time you want an inert environment to lessen the chance of undesirables growing and harming your cutting.

@@Floridamancan Actually, it was pretty much a toss-up between those two (inert mediums) with around 50% success. However, in late spring (this year), I directly rooted Hydrangea cuttings in raised planters using container bed mix (that had slow-release fertilizer). I simply took cuttings, stripped the lower leaves, cut the top 2 leaves in half, and stuck them directly into the well-watered soil (no rooting hormone needed) all have new growth now. The raised bed is under a tree where it gets only morning and late afternoon sun.

I have now started using sand for cuttings. I bought a pack of horticultural sand that looks like river sand. Cuttings are doing well in it. However, on a separate project, something unexpected has happened. I had some Papaya seeds I wanted to germinate. I have never tried germination in sand before. I created a base of river sand. Then I put the seeds on top. I then used some fine silver sand to cover them over. I watered, and put the lid on the (heatless) germinator and left on kitchen window sill. The humidity gradually started to build, and much to my surprise, I have a hairy fog growing over the surface of the sand. A fog of hairy filaments - much the same as grow on tea bags. I don't know whether this is a type of mould or mycillium of some kind but it is certainly growing well all over the sand. Have you got any ideas Mike? Thank you!
@MikeKincaid79
@MikeKincaid79 11 месяцев назад
Sure sounds like some kind of mold to me. If it is, you can easily kill it without hurting the cuttings. Spray the surface of the sand with hydrogen peroxide and watch the mold melt away.

Much love, brother. May God bless you, you have blessed us all. I do have a question, sir, how do you know that the plant will not grow roots faster if placed in a fertilized/supplemented substrate that is sterile ? Have you experimented or do you have an education in botany? My heart tells me that there is a way to make healthier stronger roots if you add what nature adds in the wilderness to your cutting substrate at home. I’m so fascinated with this. Can’t believe in my 37 years I never really knew about making cuttings. I’m very thankful for generous and enthusiastic people like you who make the process much easier. Thanks again, my friend.

Experience and self education is my teacher. Before the roots come, there is nothing to absorb the nutrients.

I am trying perlite for the first time. I've used it in my hydroponic gardening for a few years and it performs well with moisture retention and drainage but an inert product with no nutrient value.

Hey, Mike. Remember I mentioned about my Mango branches? And when my wife tossed one of those branches into her garden so it can be apart of the compost? And what I did after, (cleaned off the debris and resnipped the bottom portion to smoother ALOE VERA all over the branch) Not to mention, that this branch has survived 5 weeks without showing any signs of growth? Guess what?! Yeah, man! It only took 4 days ! It has green nubs and a small leaf growing! Unbelievable! It actually worked better than my root powder ! Bam🧨🍀🪴🌱! Now, what?! I’m serious… Do I open the container and let some sunshine ☀️ in? Or do I keep it under for another week? How much water do I need ? Do I keep it inside so the pest won’t eat my Mango’s leaves? II have mycorrhizae, do I use it for one more douse of water? I’m really trying to keep this branch alive… Thanks for the video. But, ain’t this a kick? ALOE VERA does it in 4 days.

That's awesome news, thanks for updating me. Once you get a good cluster of roots, you can start acclimating to less humidity slowly over about a week. Once they are used to less humidity, then you can pot them up, fertilize, and watch them grow through the summer. I like to keep plants outside during the summer so they get natural light and air. They just grow better that way and pests typically aren't a problem outdoors because of all the competition.

It's illegal to take beach sand home in Texas. They don't want the beach to be stripped of its sand. Alternative to barks is leaves. You can find leaves almost everywhere.

I have raspberry suckers growing all over like wild now. They are in my lawn. So my plan is to dig them up, put them in pots and see what lives. I was going to mix potting soil with the soil I found them in, but I am not sure if I should try a rooting hormone. Once I get the bed expanded, I will try to transplant them back in a more compact way.

Try to dig them up with some roots. Then you don’t need rooting hormone.

If you just took the cutting then it’ll probably be ok to rinse it off and start over with a more inert material.
