How to Make New Plants Fast! 🪴🌿💮🌺 - Easy Plant Propagation

The Easiest Way to Make New Plants - In this video I show an easy technique for making new shrubs and perennial plants.

Definitely doing this tonight. I've done the burying in mulch trick which works great but this method makes it is so easy to transport and share readily. Get ready friends - I'm rooting EVERYTHING, lol

Jim, I've always rooted cuttings in the ground next to the parent plant using a rock (or landscape staples) to hold the branch in place while it roots. Using a recycled nursery pot for propagating new plants will make moving them to the planting site so much more convenient. Thank you for the idea! ~Margie🦋💚🌞

You, my friend, are a genius. I've been a backyard gardener for a few years + now and have never heard of this. I love learning from your channel, thank you 🐝🐞🌻🌹

I’ve rooted a number of plants in the ground by putting a brick on a semi-woody limb (and waited for what seems like eons) but this way of using the pot makes so much more sense! Clearly a superior method. You don’t have to dig the plant up, risking damage to the roots, causing yourself extra work, etc. Once again, Jim, you have delivered some excellent, much appreciated advice. I love this; I will be trying this method on a weigela and a few other shrubs this week. 👍🏻💚

Great... I'm going to have about 50 pots all over my yard now. 😆

This is one of the most useful videos that I have seen!

I have seen the pinning, or pegging, method done for decades, but I have never seen your trick with cutting the slits out of the side of the pot and I think that's awesome. So much easier. I will use this. Thank you!

I discovered this technique accidentally when a gardenia limb was touching the ground and the leaves were heavy enough to hold it to the ground and it rooted, I dug it up and potted it. It's going to be fun trying your technique with the pots.

Love the idea of cutting the container instead of overfilling with soil. That never crossed our mind when we tried to root roses.

[juliabinford]

Wow, I’m paying my next door neighbor a visit with pot and brick in hand! We trade cuttings, but this is just great.

[bethheerten]

I never thought about cutting slits in the container. Brilliant!

[Lsleeko]

Oh my gosh, Lowes is going to hate you for this. Absolutely wonderful, thank you! ;)

[josh.kaptur]

man on a small scale which is all I need, this sure seams like a lot less effort than the propagation series!!! Thank you!

[Mopoppy]

Genius! I used to burry it in the ground and have to dig it out. Using a planter will avoid digging out! How come I didn’t figure it out! 😂

[glendapeters]

Oh, Wow! Why didn't I think of this! I've been bending limbs over and putting a brick on top of it! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Edit: I went out this morning and did this on 3 plants! I'm planning more in a short time! Oh, the fun we will have! Thank you for this idea, Jim. I've rooted some with a brick and branch in the ground but this is so much smarter!

This is incredible! Plants and a little human ingenuity never cease to amaze me!!!

[dreamagood]

I love doing this & getting free plants ! 🌺

[andydzieciaszek]

This is genius! You've done it again Jim!

[melissamartin]

Wow! That was one of the most helpful ways to make more of my favorite shrubs! Thanks!!!!

This IS pure genius, Jim, and great timing for me personally. I have been wanting to reproduce some salvia “black and bloom” that has done tremendously in my landscape this year, but which had been hard to find in my local nursery centers. I had tried rooting cuttings in water (lame, I know) but am getting only about 50% return and then wondering how/if they will transfer to potted soil!?! Going out to try this now so I can plant more of this salvia to overwinter. THANK you!!
