Oleander in water, fuchsia in a humid environment, lavender in the ground, sage in a pot: all the techniques to successfully propagate your cuttings in July and obtain new plants quickly and easily in your garden. In this video, Hubert Fontaine explains how to successfully propagate cuttings in summer using four simple techniques adapted to different garden plants. July is an ideal time to propagate your favorite plants, provided you choose the right method. The first technique concerns oleander, which is easily propagated in water. It is essential to select a non-flowering stem about 15 centimeters long, remove the lower leaves, and place the cutting in a glass of clear water, in a bright location but out of direct sunlight. Roots generally appear after three weeks, provided you change the water regularly. Be careful, as this plant is toxic, so some precautions are necessary. Fuchsias are propagated by cuttings under a cloche, an ideal method for maintaining high humidity. The cuttings should be planted in a light substrate and kept under a cloche or in a mini-greenhouse, in partial shade, to prevent them from drying out. For lavender and lavandin, Hubert Fontaine recommends direct propagation. The semi-hardwood stems are planted in a nursery bed in light soil, then transplanted the following spring. This method is particularly well-suited to hardy Mediterranean plants. Finally, common sage is propagated by cuttings in pots using a sandy mix. Good humidity is essential to encourage root development. Thanks to these easy propagation techniques, you can multiply your plants for free and enrich your garden while taking control of your gardening.
