Appeal to nature fallacy, just because something is natural doesnt necessarily mean its good, another point, you wanna encourage natural selection? Careful this sentence carries way more weight than you imagine, letting the weak to die for tge strongest to flourish, we are the smartest animals, we did help our weaks to have a better life, we made everything around us work for us, we dont really need strong chickens we just need them for food, and you putting honey, isnt that defying the sole purpose of natural selection?

Claims wants natural selection and stronger genetics where only the strong survive. Proceeds to use a honey instead of rooting power to in his own words encourage root healing and giving a little protection to it. Completely canceling his own argument on wanting to rely on the plants strength and natural selection to do its job. Because with the protection what may have not survived now does and weakens the gene pool. Hilarious!

Hello from Sacramento! Thank you for the great information. I have been trying to get my cuttings to take with rooting hormone in seed starting soil. I started with a few Roses, a Juniper and a Spruce. All of my attempts have shriveled up and died. You make it sound so easy, but I'm obviously doing something wrong and I really want to get this to work.

Moved to SD last year and I'm in love with the flora here. So many beautiful plants. What are your opinions on foraging propagations? I see so many (public land) plants that are new to me and gorgeous. I'm all for the leave no trace idea in outdoors/hiking/camping, but I'm not sure how to find a lot of these (wild fennel) at nurseries.

I'm in Julian and would like to know your group. I had botany classes at University when I was young (I am no longer young by any definition. I once had many beautiful and rare bonsai trees but at this time I'm interested in propogating Manzanita as many are indangered. I am gearing up for scarification of seeds and cuttings. -Mary

Bit confused here. You dont use hormone powder because you want to maintain natural selection, but then dip it in honey anyway because of its anti bacterial properties?
In nature, a cutting wouldnt naturally dip in honey anyway, and by doing so you are assisting with natural selection, so im confused by your rationale.

The weak genetics argument is faulty since cuttings have the exact same genes as the plant you took them from. It's not a new specimen, it's a clone. If you take multiple cuttings from the same plant, there's no natural selection or gene improvement if some die while others don't.

I don't really get the argument of not using rooting hormone for the sake of natural selection as all the cuttings are genetically identical to the parent tree? Any variance in survival is thus due to the current health of the specific cutting and not be reflected in the final plant.

Great video! I'm curious if propagating adds a new lifespan to the plant? For instance, if the grapes live for 20 years, and you propagate a cutting on year fifteen, will that cutting have 20 years to live? Or the five remaining years from the original plant?

This is very interesting. I'm just about to do some cuttings from my Olive and fig trees and pulled up a random video to listen to while I prepped. I have always used root toner and I'm going to try the honey method!

You've got essentially clones of the same plant so you're not getting better genetics by not using root hormone and you won't get stronger plants. Might save some money though if you don't mind losing a few.

Funny thing I accidentally planted a bougainvillea cutting upside down. Then I noticed roots sprouting out on top a week after. Good thing I used humdity dome. It survive after I replanted.

Interesting that humans want to curtail natural selection in humans. hmmm. Humans are hilarious they care so much about animals and plants but sht on themselves and their own.

Thank you so much for the insights into propagation with many helpful tips. Especially liked the part about the use or even not of rooting hormone. Honey was used instead.

Just saw this and this guy doesn't know what he is talking about.
I wonder if he applies this to his kids
Let them die, don't give any boost in nutrition etc
