Hello everyone this is Richard with
first-class Gardens welcome into our
[4]
grow bench and I've got another exciting
video for you guys today I got a lot of
[8]
positive feedback on a rose and potato
video so we're going to try a lemon tree
[13]
today one regret I do have on that video
that I did not show you guys the
[18]
cinnamon or honey method to to rooting a
cutting so we're going to do the
[23]
all-natural way and we're going to do
the chemical way with the clone X that
[27]
way you get two in one and all we're
going to do is we're going to peel off
[31]
some of these older leaves and get rid
of this older stem this is just a couple
[35]
suckers that were growing up right off
my lemon tree it needed pruned anyways
[39]
so these are great to try in in route
because it's new growth and they're
[44]
ready to just start to grow so got a lot
of energy there and these are the ones
[49]
that you want to try it to get to root
you can have a lot success if you're
[52]
using newer growth rather than older
growth so snip this old green part off
[58]
here there we go again
make sure that all your utensils are
[64]
washed down with alcohol and I'm going
to actually drill them to the potato
[69]
with a drill bit again today just make
sure that your drill bits are oil free
[73]
alcohol just weight them down cotton
swab or whatever just clean those up
[78]
alright so I've got my drill bit today a
little bit smaller than the rose
[82]
cuttings that were using the other day
and that looks like about the right size
[86]
we want to match up the the width of the
stem with the size of the drill bit that
[91]
looks like it's going to do there
alright now we just gotta put a little
[96]
bit the nose drill and the key is on the
potato you don't want to go all the way
[100]
through it you're gonna go about 3/4 of
the way down there we go
[107]
oh it's therapeutic I love I could do
this all day drilling into potatoes
[113]
alright so all I do is just kind of
measure this up make sure it's going to
[117]
fit down in there and that looks like
it's going to do perfect all right that
[122]
one's set and we reduce dab a little bit
of the honey down into the potato into
[128]
our hole there kind of let sit for about
30 seconds so it starts to seep down in
[132]
there alright and we're going to use the
ground cinnamon kind of like a rooting
[139]
powder if you guys ever use rooting
powder that's all we're going to do with
[141]
the stem of the cutting first thing is
we want to cut off of these leaves here
[147]
they're too big that's where all our
moisture is going to be released from so
[150]
by cutting the leaves in half that's
going to actually help keep moisture in
[154]
the cutting and at the base is where we
want most of the moisture to stay so all
[160]
right we're going to take our ground
center we're going to dab it into the
[162]
ground cinnamon just like we would a
rooting a hormone powder and there it is
[167]
that's all that's needed let's take our
potato and then we're gonna go ahead and
[174]
we're going to go ahead just insert it
in our hole there you can move around
[178]
the honey it hasn't gotten down in there
yet what's going to happen it's going to
[182]
seep down into the hole it's going to
create a seal and it's going to be nice
[185]
and moist down there that's that potato
decomposes it will feed your new lemon
[189]
tree all right that one's set happy with
that
[193]
now you things can go right out into the
garden but right now in northern Ohio
[197]
it's January we've got five gallon
buckets repaired we'll just use some
[201]
potting soil in the meantime keep it in
a warm environment and should be just
[204]
fine we're think our second potato we do
the same thing here we go my favorite
[208]
part
[212]
oK we've drilled down into a potato
about three-quarters of the way down
[217]
take our second cutting here and this is
going to be the clone x method again
[222]
we're going to trim up these leaves
we're trying to keep and retain moisture
[225]
in our cutting and so that way it can
concentrate on building roots go we
[232]
don't need so much energy from the roots
or from the leaves right now
[235]
we need it to concentrate on making
roots so that's going to help in our
[239]
process and we're going to take the
clone x guys and they do not like to get
[244]
the stuff on my fingers if you guys do
get on your hands make sure you wash
[247]
right away working with the cap here it
makes it a little easier to apply that's
[252]
what I do is pour a little in the cap
there spread it around on the cut and
[256]
you know 10-15 seconds should be long
enough for it to kind of sit in there
[260]
it's kind of soak in a little bit more
once it gets into the potato I'm going
[264]
to slide it in there and that's actually
fitting really good just like our
[268]
all-natural one this one fit in really
really good pretty happy with that
[273]
alright guys there you go you got your
natural way and then you got your clone
[277]
x way the natural way was of course with
the honey in the cinnamon and then we've
[282]
just got regular clone X I'll leave a
link down below in the description if
[286]
you guys want to go out and try the
clone x it works great I'm a lot of
[288]
different plants yeah it really helps
promote roots so I've got a white tag
[294]
and I'm grab a yellow tag remark the
white tag with the honey and cinnamon
[298]
we're going to wrap it around the base
and we'll mark the yellow one with clone
[302]
x and wrap it around the base of that
cutting that way kind of keep track and
[307]
which one does better if they do both
make it will have a follow-up video to
[313]
that so there it is just going to wrap
these around the base again and then
[317]
we'll go ahead and stick them in our
five-gallon buckets and make sure you do
[321]
check back in about three four weeks
we'll have a follow-up video to this if
[325]
you guys try something else or you try
this or if you got some suggestions you
[329]
want me to try in another video let me
know down below in the description
[333]
