They’re wonderful. In middle Georgia, I started with 5 cuttings from a dear neighbor in 1986. Those 5 have easily turned into 500 I’ve gifted over the years ❤
Love mine too, and I've rooted about 5 actually and so so easy, and there big and beautiful, got 6 of these bushes rooted now for my aunt in a pot on the front porch and come fall, I'll take them to her house and we're gonna plant them at the back of her property to just make a privacy like fence,, great video🫶✌️
@@Dr.Warren I have to share with you how my Granny rooted hers, she would take a piece off her other bush, and where ever that bush was gonna be planted, she would lay that piece on the ground right where was going to be planted, and take a concrete block and set on top of the part to root and just left it, and there's those yellow bushes all over the yard now, my granny has been gone a long time, so I know those bushes have been there years and years, had to tell you that, our elders could teach us so much 🙏🫶🦋🌻
This roots extremely easily in the UK. Whenever my forsythia gets too big, I trim it and make 3-4 node cuttings out of the trimmings. I then poke those cuttings in some of my taller established pots. Normally more than half of them root and I notice little colour pops in the pots in spring😊
Thanks so much, bro. My book by Miranda Smith just says put it in the ground but I really like this slit pot method. I appreciate you taking the time to do this.
Thanks for another great video. I was trying to figure out why you cut the two slits in the pot - once I saw how you used it, I felt really stupid for not thinking of that years ago. This will make propagating my trumpet vines so much easier now.
A part of the country that is underappreciated in its beauty. The mountains northwest of Clemson are beautiful. That's also a great place to watch a football game. We call it Auburn with a lake.
Great, a couple of questions. 1. How long does it take to turn that into a full bush with beautiful flowers in the spring? Is this something I do today, but won't see the fruits of my labor for 20 years? 2. If I don't have a nursery, can I just plant this in my backyard in the soil once's it's rooted and let nature take its course? I'm on Vancouver Island, so I don't have to worry too much about freezing temps in the winter. Mostly just rain. Thanks!
I hoped you would let me know if I can plant and grow from what is sold as dried clippings from a Forsythia tree and what exactly am I looking for, perhaps little buds to plant and water? Since I am learning abit on horticulture, I hope for any information you can share on this one as I am not familiar, I'm more of a sweet potatoes, and or banana pepper recognizing slips or seedlings etc, yet not buds, however it did end up combined with three boxes of taco shells....so these could have been crushed? Please help! lol
That's what it looks like, possibly dry buds, sold on amazon as seeds for the Forsythia Tree yet although I don't know a great deal, it just doesn't appear quite right.
You mentioned that some cuttings may not take What would you say is your success rate with this? Also, Can I easily cut and transplant forsythia branches that are already rooted in the ground? Is there a time of year that is best to transplant?
so just so I understand… When you showed us how to put the plant into the pot sideways the whole cutting was separate for the mother plant, right? And I'm thinking that you did that so we could just get a better view? My question is, shouldwe leave the cutting on the mother plant, scrape the bark, then put the limb into the pot? But leave it attached to the mother plant?
Hi so very straightforward! Question: what can you use instead of store bought root hormone? I heard human saliva or even diluted apple cider vinegar works...is that mythology?
My channel is based off peer review and I try to keep my recommendations centered around science based consensus. To my knowledge there isn't a paper that would recommend saliva or vinegar. Also, just me thinking off the top of my head I can't think of anything biochem wise in saliva or vinegar that would increase the rooting percentage above not adding anything at all.
I have never tried this method and a quick search for peer review came up empty. I am not saying it doesn't work. I am saying I want to give it a try!! I'm interested.
It’s what my grandmother did when propagating plants. She had a house full of plants inside and outside. It works. I learned from her. It’s made by bees and is full of hormones. The powder they sell in jars is made from??? maybe it is corn starch. I did see one video on RU-vid of an Asian gardener using honey to propagate Aloe plant.
@@mrBDeye the powders have IBA and IAA. Those are acronyms for plant hormones the actual names are too long to type out. But they bind the hormones to the powder.
