looks like we got ourselves a little icebox watermelon hey everyone its rob
the backyard gardenerr and I've got some fantastic news for you... you'll recall in my
last Kiwi update when I was training and trimming the vines I had made a
statement that I'd like to go ahead and propagate a few of those vines and I was
gonna chop the vines into segments in sections put it in some water put it in
my house and give it some time to go ahead and see how it goes long story
short it's been about seven weeks and I've kept true to that propagation
method I was showing you and I want to share the results with you we're gonna
start first and foremost by showing you the video from a four from the last Kiwi
update just to kind of refill your eyes you with what I did and then we'll go
ahead and jump forward to today and I'll show you where the Kiwi vines are at
well as much as it pains me to cut off of anything we're gonna do it I think
what I'll do though is I'll try to propagate this guy I'll cut it in a
couple sections and see if I can get it propagated. so there you have it guys I'm
really not sure if this will do much but I'm willing to give it a go
I'm gonna take these indoors in my indoor grow room so they're not in any direct
sunlight. we'll give it a month or so until they die or they produce roots and
if they do produce roots then we know the propagation method works. I'll keep
you updated on the next kiwi update on these to see if they get roots may not may
just be a waste of my time but I just didn't want to discard them for nothing
if there's a chance they could reduce additional Kiwi vines alright so now
that you had a look back I want to show you where the Kiwi vines are at today I
noticed there's been a lot of progress in the last week after four to five or
six weeks of really not a lot of progress still super exciting let's go
take a look right now so July 4th was when those
cuttings were taken in place into this jar I know it looks green guys it has
had some algae but I I've been changing it out every single week
but I've been feeding it just a little bit of nutrients. it's been in here
almost two full months now but let me show you what's going on if you look in
here at the at the base you'll see that it's really putting out a lot of root
nodes and so so it's sort of doing this about a month after I cut it off the
plant and I decided then that I would inspect every single one of the stems I
know it's hard to tell but you can see just at the base of this one there's
just starting to get some roots so on these thinner ones it's taken a lot
longer for anything to happen we get another example in here but on these a
little bit thicker branches you can see that it really wants to start rooting
and give you the best example in here I went ahead and pulled this one out the
other day and sure enough we got roots so what happens is it's taken about a
month for it to get these little bumps and then it took another month to get
some of these roots that you see here now not all of them have the roots some
are still just getting the bumps in there and but what I'm pointing out here
is that it looks like it's working guys I mean at the end of the day if it gets
roots it's gonna be able to support the structure and once it got the bumps and
it got the roots it put on some new foliage as you can see here again
they're sitting in water it was full algae or it's constantly got algae and I
constantly have to change the water so I don't know how much nutrients they're
really getting being in this this pitcher here
but this one back here had the best roots that it had and it had put on
enough foliage that I decided to go ahead and repot it or replant it to
transplant if you will so I cut off all the dying leaves that like these it
didn't look that healthy or the spotted leaves like these that are kind of
crunching up and I kept solely the leaves that looked the healthiest
obviously the new growth and the reason for this is I only removed it because I
think there's enough surface area on these leads to support getting enough
nutrients to feed the growth of the root system and I've buried this guy all the
way at the bottom I've used a very good moisture retaining mixture of peat moss
perlite and compost so it's should be pretty good to go he's been repotted for
a couple of days there shows no sign of any problems so far he actually looks
great I've got another one I'm gonna pot up the one that I showed you but let me
go and get this guy potted up and we'll show you what they both look like okay
so now we've got both of these in their new pot I was gonna cut this leaf off
because it's not that healthy but I just I'm not confident that these leaves are
good enough green enough healthy enough including the new buds to support what
it needs to do here now this leaf was shielding these and I kind of twisted
them around so that those now can be exposed to more light so maybe these
will green up plus he was in the water not in the soil so maybe he'll green up
now and these leaves once these leaves get a little bigger this one opens up
and we get another shot or shoot out from here then I'll chop that one off
like I've done this one I wanted to show you look at the coloring of these leaves
they're green but they're velvety and they turn red and white at different
angles this is the same as the ones outside I absolutely love these Kiwi
vines no great for just being ornamental if you wanted to they're aggressive
but anyway I do love the way they look and outside at different angles the
light catcher catches them so differently in their white red it's so
great anyway bottom line is it's almost been two months till they
developed roots I've got to to have roots I've got a whole bunch more here
that have again you can see the bumpy root nodes that are populating all over
the stem here they're not looking good as far as the tips on most of these ones
I'm not sure they're gonna make it but I will show you looks like this one might
because we've got a little node popping up here leaf no popping up so again I
only did a couple of vines that I chopped into sections what I'm thinking
is if this method ends up working I can go out there and I trim the next set of
vines I'm gonna bill to propagate a whole
bunch of more Kiwi vines and have a ton of Kiwi vines to grow or give away so
anyway bottom line is they're looking pretty good I'm pretty happy overall I
just wanted to show you guys that even a rudimentary way of sticking some
cuttings into a pitcher of water and changing the water out weekly in a
matter of seven weeks produced potentially two or more vines that might
take root and grow into be big Kiwi trees one day what there you have it
everyone the early results are pretty amazing in my opinion I didn't think you
could propagate Kiwis from just cuttings and it looks like they can again they
need to take root in the soil and produce more foliage and more branches
before we go ahead and give it the old thumbs up in the A+ effort here but I'm
pretty optimistic it looks pretty good I will plan on probably updating you on
another video and 2 or 3 weeks from now and we'll see how they're doing
if you enjoyed the video please give it a thumbs up and as always thanks for
