A Simple Way To Root Plants From Cuttings

Overalls, age, confidence. yup this man is worth listening to

When a guy in overalls is shown talking about plants, I'm clicking the vid. And the great content proved my hunch.

Best tutorial video ever on cuttings. I normally skip 4 to 5 videos before I get to someone like this guy.

Why the thumb downs? This is a great video. Honest man sharing information on how to grow free plants. Well done.

Best I've seen so far. No goofy music, doens't spend ten minutes talking about unrelated stuff

You have the efficient speaking pace that I wish more YTers had

I like this farmer guy. He's got great, no-nonsense advice and teaching technique. Thanks, Mike! :)

I like his no nonsense approach. I’ll give this 5 stars.

Thank you!!! We are currently preparing my Grandmother’s house to sale and I’m going to try this with the shrubs and trees she planted there! I hope to be able to surprise my Mom and two sisters with “Grandma’s trees” next Christmas!

First plant tutorial where I feel like I’m learning from an actual farmer.👨🏼‍🌾 Awesome content, subscribed today! ☺️🌱🌿🍃

Great video, no extra gabbing, just good simple info. Wiping his hands on his jeans is just like looking in the mirror!! Loved it.

My rooting success went from about 10% to about 90% when I added psyllium powder to my process. This is the plant fiber in Metamucil, but I use plain psyllium powder because it is cheaper and and Metamucil is about half sugar. I mix a little of the rooting hormone with more of the psyllium powder, dip the cutting in water and then dip the wet stem in the psyllium hormone mixture. Then put the cutting in a prepunched hole, so I don't wipe the coating off. The psyllium forms a gell layer around the stem that keeps the hormone around the stem and holds water.

This video was apart of my homeschooling curriculum, I'm not disappointed XD

I don't get sick of watching this video over and over. I do the same with your other videos. Every time I see roots on my lot I do the happy dance.Rooting plants is the best addiction ever...love it. Thanks for your time and sharing your tips, Mike :)

Wow this video is nine years old, and the sound and video quality is often better than the ones made 9 years later.

You are a master teacher - simple and direct, and makes total sense. Thank you for the time you took to help others learn how to do this. We're moving and I am starting to take cuttings of all my special plants that I want to take with me - needed a refresher on how to do it, it's been numerous years. This was an idea video.

I appreciate the information. For some reason, when I'm stressed, caring for plants takes my mind away from day to day issues we all face. I asked my wife if she noticed how simple life seems when focus on caring for our lawn. She said that tending to her hybrid rose bush does make her very happy.

Watched your video and tried it. Didn't use plastic though, but frequently misted cuttings couple times a day. Kept the container with sand and holes in the shade of the pole barn. Crepe Myrtle cuttings. Been a month or so. Replanted yesterday. Holy cow! Absolutely shocking results!! I couldn't hardly believe my eyes at the root development! Moved 30 cuttings with good roots to individual pots! Already put second batch in the sand! Thank you!!

This is one of the best instructional videos I've seen! Simple and straightforward. I'm so glad I found it. I watch all the big garden YouTubers who have given a lot of advice but never so simple and encouraging as you just did. Too bad I found you in October since I live in New England but I will definitely be trying this next year.

Very helpful - I've watched it twice.
