thank you! i luv your presentation
Nice presentation. Better than the Horticulturist instructor I have. Thank you
Can you do this with vegetable plants such as Cayenne?
Asexual reproduction.
thats when cutting the leaf and planting it
is another form of cloning.
seriously? honey??? would that work on roses too?
how about maple syrup?? hmmm
Thank you so much for your simple explanation. great video quality too!
can you do this with a blueberry bush
That plant’s Chinese name is translated to ten thousand years of youth. lol
usually my mom just grows it in some water, not dirt.
Oh wow! I would never have thought to use honey! Learn something every day!
Wow! I never knew that honey could be used to encourage root growth. I have already taken some cuttings from my tomato plants (about 15 cuttings) but I didnt really know much about it. I only just watched a few videos about this type of method, which made me question whether or not there was a cheap,efficient and organic way or encouraging root growth? and this video has really assisted me for future cuttings! Really interesting too. Thanks for the tip ! I will continue to watch your videos!
Does it works on lucky bamboos???
should I keep them inside for this, because I tried it outside and they just died =/
did this work for your tomatoes?
Well , I did exacly what was instructed to do in the video , but unfortunately plently of light, right amounts of water just didnt seem to help them. They lasted longer than if you were to take a normal cutting but even though they started to develop roots they werent strong enough , but it wont put me off trying again next summer.
I think that may be a good idea , just remember to keep them well ventilated , my tomatoe cuttings failed but my type of tomatoe plant isnt very hardy so I think that was a factor in why they didnt survive. But im sure this method works for other cuttings of plants .
Thanks……….Honey
