I got a whole bunch of clones in my mini greenhouse right now. I’m raising a tomato army lol

Another way to use: to save your plants! Last year we had a huge wind storm right after i planted my tomatoes and tomatillos and it broke a bunch of the plants in half! So i took the broken stems in water and rooted them so i didn't have to get new plants👍

I cloned two Big Beef Red tomato plants. I didn’t think it would work but it did! 😃🌱🍅 I’ve never tried it before and I honestly didn’t think it was possible to clip off a cutting from a tomato plant and put it in water and see roots grow. Now, the two plants are big and I see tiny green tomatoes growing from the flowers. 😃😃😃

I did a cutting straight into a pot and it worked, skipped the jar and water. I'm happy you showed the roots so new gardeners can see it working.

Great Video. I have just started using my EZ Clone Machine to clone all of my Garden Plants and it is extremely fast! Crazy how just 1 seed can eventually end up supplying all of your Neighbors via Cloning!

Wonderful to learn that I can take stem cuttings and not just suckers. Thank you so much!

Thanks for this reminder about cloning tomatoes. I have a volunteer tomato growing in my garden now, but with our high humidity here in Hawaii it is starting to get a lot of blight. I have other tomato seedlings, but had not started one of this variety. Now I can clone it and have one ready to plant when I need to pull the original one out. Hopefully I can keep harvesting tomatoes for much longer by staggering when they are planted in the garden and always having another transplant ready to go.

If you are trying this I highly recommend cutting right below where you just trimmed off extra leaves. Where the leaves are, are called nodes. They are jam packed with a hormone called auxins and if you pair it by dipping your fresh cutting in hormone rooting powder it’s awesome how quick you’ll see roots.

Thanks so much for mentioning where to put cuttings; sun, shade, inside, etc.... good to know where to put depending on where tomatoes already are. That's exactly what I wanted to know!

[samdroddy]

Sooo, everytime I actually talk to a fellow gardener and mention this method they look at me crazy. And "say that wouldn't work. They'd rot. You can't grow a producing plant off of a sunleaf" (which I can't remember whether or not she mentioned).
Which made sense after it was explained, due to my rant about none of my cuttings sprouting roots and kickin the bucket; fishing for advice.
Felt so dumb. What a way to introducing yourself to the gardening people. Eh 😂, got to be willing to try and fail to Grow!💋

[lindaely]

I actually did this with my seedlings when I had to thin them out, put the "cutting" into soil, keeping it moist and they did great. Next time I'll put it directly into a jar of water so I don't have to continue keeping it moist while the roots grow. Thanks so much! Love your garden and your videos. :)

I didn’t realize you could do this with tomato plants. Yay! I’m so excited to get some transplants started, too!

[jennifersyoung]

I always bought tomato plants but have never tried to clone them. I want to give it a try on my existing tomato and other plants. Thanks for your video! It's so helpful!

[maryrancourt]

Just sent this to my Dad this morning. He has a couple of favorite plants.

[gabrielsepulveda]

I had my tomato plant cloned by myself 3 weeks ago.
It's very interesting since the tomato grow when the plant is still young.
In my case, the clone is 30cm tall and already has 7 tomatos growing.

[naheedqazi]

This is such a great tip, Kim. Will definitely be trying it out. Free plants = happiness 😍

[tomnekuda]

This was just what I got two tomatoes that exceeded all my expectations this year and I probably won't be able to find them next year, going to clone and winter over in the house. Thanks, Tom

[PeaceLoveChevy]

Just started a clone today from a main stem that broke due to wind! Hoping for the best!!

[JazzMeUinFLUSA]

Yes I've been doing it with the big suckers too.
