Thanks Luke! Any info is good and appreciated!!
i thought you have to pay a patent fee
Great information! Thanks for sharing!
Should I sell cuttings or should I plant the cuttings first and then sell. What’s more valuable?
I’ve been buying shelving and seed and pots and growing media and h202 for the last year spending 100-200 per month I have
My first farmers market hopefully in March unless we are snowed out I’ve had to use my overdraft in from the bank hoping to get enough to get my attic floored for my new growing room where at the moment I’m growing in my living space and my bedroom has been repurposes as a green room. I’m in Scotland so have a short growing season with it seems now a lot of wind and storms. What happens if you take cuttings from an F1 hybrid
I really did enjoy this episode. It’s definitely food for thought. Janice
Cool deal I already have basil so this is a good tip money has been tight so always looking for ways to save up
Great video. Though I was a newbie, I made my first million investing with a broker from a reputable firm . forex needs your time and if you wish to pay attention to other things in your life I advice you invest with a licensed broker/expert, Thanks to Mrs. Rafaella Martinez she is the best .
Hey, do you know if you need a permit/license to sell plants?
Love this information. But I’ve been reading that you can get into trouble if you propagate plants that are patented. If for example that basil plant you bought at the big box store was a Burpee plant, isn’t that a problem? I want to start a side business doing just this but want to make sure I’m doing the right thing.
You never mentioned how long you should leave it in the water. Long enough to get a good root on it?

Basil may be great
But I have oregano and rosemary and parsley up
the wazoo and hoping to sell come spring!
Great video, very encouraging, I thank you for your time!
I’m looking forward to trying this! Sometimes growing from seed takes forever. Thanks!
Just started garden business I am growing hot peppers I can grow them really well from seed.
I wish I can get seeds. I love catus and a variety of plants.
Add some hydrogen peroxide to the water…
I’ve only ever gotten roots from little green onions. Nothing ever roots for me 😕
I use those Jello snack containers for 2 1/2" pots…just poke 3 holes in the bottom for drainage.
He’s telling the truth. I had no experience growing basil. Last year i bought one plant and two months later I had 15 plants. This was all for fun. Now think about if you started with 25 plants times $$$. Use your second grade math skills.
I’d love to know how to sell plants online!!!
Once rooted, can the hydroponic cube be planted directly into soil? I know nothing about hydroponics but find it fascinating.
I have a lovely front garden built on propagation I learned on "Mike Kincaid " channel. Neighbors would stop and admire and I’d say , I can dig and pot u one for 7 or 8 bucks. Meanwhile 3 pallets going, (sold-waiting to be sold n growing….) inside the fence. Now people stop n place orders n chat n ask for advice. My share is…..besides propagation of basil…..try petunias n Hydrangea, they are super easy to start n crazy popular. But if I had to pick 1…. sell vines u start from seed… they grow tall quickly nww have high perceived value if only on teepee trellis u make from sticks u can get 20-35 all day long.
That’s what I did I started right where I was with what I’d had in the bank
From last year i propagated a lot of snake plant
Like snake plant is in my every pot so now I’m thinking to sell them
Thank you!
I’m just starting to sell plants from home. This is perfect timing! And I have a basil plant that needs trimming back anyway. This is a God thing for sure. Thank you so much:)
I’d just like to add 1 thing…
Now, I totally understand thst not everyone shares the same beliefs, pov’s, ethical principals, BUT- I foubd, (rather quickly) that using rockwool, is VERY expensive seeings how it can ONLY BE used ONCE, then has to be thrown out.
Granted, yes it’s a rock, but only using it once, creates an issue for those on a budget or with tight budgets.
Purchasing a variety of *raw* materials, SEPERATELY, will GUARANTEE you HEAPS more bang for your buck, than you’d have spending $20-$40 on any garden / department store top soils.
Which wont go much father than a 3-pot-garden. (the reccomended / required amount of soil to *properly* grow *VEGGIES* anyways, herb roots dont *NEED* nearly as much space as veggies do)
RAW materials:
○ Perlite
○ Vermiculite
○ Peat / Sphagnum Moss
○ Compost (organic of your choice)
○ Calcium / Limestone (always good to have as you’ll 110% come across a veggie you may want to plant later down the road- a few herbs benefit from extra calcium as well)
Just wanted to give a heads up for those on budgets.
You’re welcome.
Thank you for a great video!!
clear concise just what I wanted thank you
Not only a mother plant; my supermarket has no living plants, so I bought some cut fresh basil and popped the steps into water. A week later I had at least 5 rooted mini plants ready to go.
. So…, Do they root right there in the water or are you supposed to dip them in honey and then plant them?
I am one of the few people who is in the process of growing basil and want to start a business. However, it seems like the shipping is high cost? I want to sell the plants in early stage. What do you do about high shipping costs? I feel defeated at this moment.
Great video! Had these "mother" plants been under indoor lights for the winter?
brilliant!
Started thinking of growing and selling edible plants Dec.2020 but had no idea where to start but this definitely has been super helpful. Are there other plants you recommend growing???
Love your videos
Great information! I will try to add basil to the seedlings that I’m selling.
I would also suggest, when propagating ANY herb or plant, to chop off all but the TOP 4-6 (baby’s sprouting included) that way your plant isn’t focused on trying to provide for the ‘sucker-like’ larger leaves and it will focus on rooting, as some plants will go through some shock after being cut. Not all, some.)
How long do you keep them in water and in the dark?
Thank you very much
You mention putting the cuttings in a dark place, to avoid stressing them out. Should they stay in that dark location until they root, or for a shorter time? Thanks for all the terrific videos!
Thanks
I’d love to start a garden business, but it’s a bit overwhelming. I’m working full time so it’s hard to find a spare moment, and I’m not sure how to make that transition.
Im planning to start a backyard nursery this summer. I’m focussing on annuals right now but hoping to sell trees in a few years when they’re bigger. Definitely been thinking about herbs so good to know basil so easy and popular
I sell plants and produce every year for a side business. I took the last two years off because I went back to school and was too busy. I plan on selling produce this year and will start selling plants again next year. I enjoy it!
You dont need to buy pots u can recycle milk bottles and other bottles from your kitchen. Just cut off the top
