line:90% Propagating is cool as fuck. 00:10.680 --> 00:13.960 align:middle line:90% Why is propagating so cool? 00:13.960 --> 00:15.730 align:middle line:90% Look around you. 00:15.730 --> 00:18.920 align:middle line:84% All of this basically is from propagation. 00:18.920 --> 00:21.630 align:middle line:84% It's going to increase your bounty of all the plants 00:21.630 --> 00:25.350 align:middle line:84% that you have, and the fact that you can take a branch, 00:25.350 --> 00:29.730 align:middle line:84% and put it in the ground, and you can have a fruit tree. 00:29.730 --> 00:32.520 align:middle line:84% That's how this garden came to be. 00:32.520 --> 00:34.680 align:middle line:84% It's from a lot of propagation, and I'm 00:34.680 --> 00:36.180 align:middle line:84% about to show you guys how to do it. 00:36.180 --> 00:39.624 align:middle line:90% [MUSIC PLAYING] 00:39.624 --> 00:43.560 align:middle line:90% 00:43.560 --> 00:48.450 align:middle line:84% So say you were kind of envious of your friend's citrus tree, 00:48.450 --> 00:51.840 align:middle line:90% and you always wanted one. 00:51.840 --> 00:56.810 align:middle line:84% So what you can do, you can go in the middle of the night, 00:56.810 --> 01:01.375 align:middle line:84% and you can take a branch or two off of their tree. 01:01.375 --> 01:03.750 align:middle line:84% I'm going to show you how to propagate that branch so you 01:03.750 --> 01:07.170 align:middle line:90% can have your own citrus tree. 01:07.170 --> 01:11.430 align:middle line:84% You go and you clip it, and you take it home. 01:11.430 --> 01:15.830 align:middle line:84% What you want to do, you don't want to do a straight cut. 01:15.830 --> 01:18.500 align:middle line:84% You want to cut it diagonally, because it 01:18.500 --> 01:21.380 align:middle line:84% exposes more of the branch to where 01:21.380 --> 01:23.533 align:middle line:90% we're about to put this into. 01:23.533 --> 01:24.950 align:middle line:84% What you want to do, too, you want 01:24.950 --> 01:29.810 align:middle line:84% to remove the leaves, because actually, where you remove, 01:29.810 --> 01:33.060 align:middle line:84% these are roots for all intents and purposes. 01:33.060 --> 01:36.080 align:middle line:84% So all of these nodes where these are coming from, 01:36.080 --> 01:38.030 align:middle line:90% these will become roots. 01:38.030 --> 01:41.760 align:middle line:90% All right, take this off, too. 01:41.760 --> 01:43.680 align:middle line:84% I would remove the leaves and fruit. 01:43.680 --> 01:51.200 align:middle line:90% 01:51.200 --> 01:53.500 align:middle line:84% The way that you can get leaves off fast 01:53.500 --> 01:56.330 align:middle line:90% is just to go down like this. 01:56.330 --> 02:00.380 align:middle line:84% You can just go the opposite direction down the stem 02:00.380 --> 02:02.870 align:middle line:90% remove the leaves. 02:02.870 --> 02:04.880 align:middle line:84% What you want to do, I would give 02:04.880 --> 02:07.880 align:middle line:90% multiples, multiple branches. 02:07.880 --> 02:16.040 align:middle line:84% So you have this branch, and you can get a rooting compound 02:16.040 --> 02:18.320 align:middle line:84% or sometimes, even potatoes work. 02:18.320 --> 02:21.410 align:middle line:84% You stick the branch in a potato, and they work. 02:21.410 --> 02:22.370 align:middle line:90% So you have this. 02:22.370 --> 02:25.830 align:middle line:90% 02:25.830 --> 02:28.460 align:middle line:84% You have your rooting compound on this. 02:28.460 --> 02:33.800 align:middle line:84% Sometimes, I've had fruit trees grow without any root compound, 02:33.800 --> 02:35.510 align:middle line:90% but if you have it, try it. 02:35.510 --> 02:36.500 align:middle line:90% It's a good thing. 02:36.500 --> 02:43.460 align:middle line:84% Nice healthy organic soil, lots of compost, 02:43.460 --> 02:45.830 align:middle line:90% and that's what you do. 02:45.830 --> 02:48.320 align:middle line:84% Pretty soon, what you'll see, you'll 02:48.320 --> 02:52.550 align:middle line:84% see the leaves and flowers coming where all of these nodes 02:52.550 --> 02:53.960 align:middle line:90% are. 02:53.960 --> 02:59.000 align:middle line:84% So you stick it in the soil, give it plenty of water. 02:59.000 --> 03:02.330 align:middle line:84% Sometimes too, you can give it a whole 'nother environment where 03:02.330 --> 03:04.610 align:middle line:90% you can cover it with-- 03:04.610 --> 03:07.460 align:middle line:84% if you got a big enough glass container, because it'll 03:07.460 --> 03:09.380 align:middle line:84% get the humidity in there, or you 03:09.380 --> 03:14.360 align:middle line:84% can cover it with a plastic bag to create its own atmosphere. 03:14.360 --> 03:16.840 align:middle line:84% Believe me, I know it sounds crazy, 03:16.840 --> 03:18.440 align:middle line:90% but you have to trust me. 03:18.440 --> 03:20.790 align:middle line:90% This is going to work. 03:20.790 --> 03:23.130 align:middle line:84% And If you have multiple branches, some of them 03:23.130 --> 03:26.360 align:middle line:84% we're not going to take, but if you have multiple branches when 03:26.360 --> 03:29.780 align:middle line:84% you do this, you're going to have a citrus tree, 03:29.780 --> 03:31.850 align:middle line:84% and you're going to have a mulberry tree, 03:31.850 --> 03:34.160 align:middle line:84% and you're going to have a plum tree, 03:34.160 --> 03:36.444 align:middle line:84% and you're going to have a pomegranate tree. 03:36.444 --> 03:39.713 align:middle line:90% [MUSIC PLAYING] 03:39.713 --> 03:42.295 align:middle line:90% 03:42.295 --> 03:44.920 align:middle line:84% One of the things that I want to show you guys how to propagate 03:44.920 --> 03:46.660 align:middle line:84% is probably one of the healthiest things 03:46.660 --> 03:51.040 align:middle line:84% in your garden, which you wouldn't think of, 03:51.040 --> 03:52.630 align:middle line:90% and it's sugar cane. 03:52.630 --> 03:56.950 align:middle line:84% Sugar cane has zinc, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. 03:56.950 --> 03:57.730 align:middle line:90% And guess what? 03:57.730 --> 04:02.230 align:middle line:84% This actually helps your teeth instead of rotting it. 04:02.230 --> 04:05.140 align:middle line:84% So what happened was, they took sugar cane, 04:05.140 --> 04:06.850 align:middle line:84% and they flipped it and made it one 04:06.850 --> 04:11.590 align:middle line:84% of the worst things, one of the most addicting things 04:11.590 --> 04:14.000 align:middle line:90% that's on this planet. 04:14.000 --> 04:16.029 align:middle line:84% But I'm going to show you how to grow it 04:16.029 --> 04:19.779 align:middle line:84% so you can get the health benefits out of sugar cane. 04:19.779 --> 04:23.320 align:middle line:84% You can actually buy sugar cane online, 04:23.320 --> 04:28.120 align:middle line:84% and you can find it at some nurseries, 04:28.120 --> 04:32.440 align:middle line:84% and they come in like, 18 inch, 12-inch pieces like this. 04:32.440 --> 04:33.970 align:middle line:90% This is a long piece, though. 04:33.970 --> 04:35.170 align:middle line:90% Let's start here. 04:35.170 --> 04:41.450 align:middle line:84% These nodes, this is where another cane comes from. 04:41.450 --> 04:47.650 align:middle line:84% So you want to get a piece that's maybe, say, this big. 04:47.650 --> 04:51.310 align:middle line:84% So we have a couple of good notes on top, 04:51.310 --> 04:53.840 align:middle line:84% and then we have some on the bottom. 04:53.840 --> 04:55.870 align:middle line:90% These are facing up. 04:55.870 --> 04:59.640 align:middle line:84% They're going to become cane, another cane, 04:59.640 --> 05:02.050 align:middle line:84% and these are probably going to become roots. 05:02.050 --> 05:04.580 align:middle line:84% To propagate, there's a couple of different ways. 05:04.580 --> 05:08.980 align:middle line:84% This is a node where it's rooting, 05:08.980 --> 05:12.890 align:middle line:90% because I set it in water. 05:12.890 --> 05:17.780 align:middle line:90% So from there, let's go back. 05:17.780 --> 05:19.920 align:middle line:90% See this node? 05:19.920 --> 05:22.610 align:middle line:84% And if you see these little bumps, 05:22.610 --> 05:25.570 align:middle line:84% that's where the roots come from. 05:25.570 --> 05:28.530 align:middle line:84% So you can take this from someone. 05:28.530 --> 05:31.290 align:middle line:84% If you see someone, you can ask them for a piece of cane 05:31.290 --> 05:33.100 align:middle line:90% so you can propagate it. 05:33.100 --> 05:38.610 align:middle line:84% So what happens is, it turns into this. 05:38.610 --> 05:39.890 align:middle line:90% You see all of these roots? 05:39.890 --> 05:44.940 align:middle line:90% 05:44.940 --> 05:47.770 align:middle line:84% But you can see how healthy all of these roots are, 05:47.770 --> 05:50.470 align:middle line:84% and you can put this in the ground just like this, 05:50.470 --> 05:52.990 align:middle line:90% and this will grow up. 05:52.990 --> 05:58.110 align:middle line:84% Here, you have a piece that's just a sliver, so it's not 05:58.110 --> 06:00.900 align:middle line:84% the whole cane, but you can see that it 06:00.900 --> 06:04.360 align:middle line:90% has two nodes that are growing. 06:04.360 --> 06:06.540 align:middle line:84% So this shows you that plants want to grow. 06:06.540 --> 06:08.580 align:middle line:84% They want to live, they want to thrive, 06:08.580 --> 06:10.760 align:middle line:90% and we can help them do that. 06:10.760 --> 06:13.400 align:middle line:84% Now, see eye healthy and long these roots are? 06:13.400 --> 06:17.480 align:middle line:84% So actually now what I would do with this, 06:17.480 --> 06:30.730 align:middle line:84% now that I have at this point, I would cut this like that. 06:30.730 --> 06:34.000 align:middle line:84% So now, I will have two healthy pieces of cane 06:34.000 --> 06:35.040 align:middle line:90% from one sugar cane. 06:35.040 --> 06:37.720 align:middle line:90% 06:37.720 --> 06:40.960 align:middle line:84% These are kind of indestructible. 06:40.960 --> 06:43.720 align:middle line:84% If you get them some nice soil, you just 06:43.720 --> 06:47.610 align:middle line:84% put them in the ground, you're going to have cane for days. 06:47.610 --> 06:49.360 align:middle line:84% You want to kind of get them in the ground 06:49.360 --> 06:59.230 align:middle line:84% because what happens is, they dry out in the back, 06:59.230 --> 07:00.730 align:middle line:90% and they will continue to dry. 07:00.730 --> 07:05.130 align:middle line:84% If you let these sit for a while, see the difference? 07:05.130 --> 07:07.270 align:middle line:84% This is how a lot of people eat it, like this. 07:07.270 --> 07:13.530 align:middle line:90% 07:13.530 --> 07:15.180 align:middle line:90% You take the outside off. 07:15.180 --> 07:18.880 align:middle line:84% It's just like bamboo, and you see it? 07:18.880 --> 07:20.230 align:middle line:90% You can see the juice in it. 07:20.230 --> 07:22.380 align:middle line:90% You see the sugar cane juice. 07:22.380 --> 07:24.510 align:middle line:84% It's one of the ultimate green juices. 07:24.510 --> 07:27.742 align:middle line:90% 07:27.742 --> 07:28.950 align:middle line:90% I feel like I could cry here. 07:28.950 --> 07:31.570 align:middle line:90% 07:31.570 --> 07:34.550 align:middle line:84% All you city folks that never had any sugar cane, 07:34.550 --> 07:43.850 align:middle line:84% this right here, and you just mash the juice out of it. 07:43.850 --> 07:46.880 align:middle line:84% It's not sweet like the sugar that we buy in the store. 07:46.880 --> 07:48.020 align:middle line:90% That's been refined. 07:48.020 --> 07:50.120 align:middle line:84% All the nutrients have been taken out of it. 07:50.120 --> 07:52.010 align:middle line:84% Literally, the sugar that they give us 07:52.010 --> 07:54.200 align:middle line:84% is stripped of all the nutrients. 07:54.200 --> 07:58.310 align:middle line:90% This has all of them in there. 07:58.310 --> 08:04.070 align:middle line:84% So sugar cane, you can you can bury 08:04.070 --> 08:09.110 align:middle line:84% a whole piece with the nodes up, or you can 08:09.110 --> 08:11.670 align:middle line:90% cut a piece right at the nodes. 08:11.670 --> 08:18.180 align:middle line:90% 08:18.180 --> 08:20.240 align:middle line:90% And you can bury this. 08:20.240 --> 08:28.890 align:middle line:84% As long as you have the piece where the roots are showing, 08:28.890 --> 08:30.600 align:middle line:90% it's probably going to grow. 08:30.600 --> 08:31.740 align:middle line:90% That's some good cane. 08:31.740 --> 08:35.380 align:middle line:90% 08:35.380 --> 08:38.080 align:middle line:90% So put this in the water. 08:38.080 --> 08:41.380 align:middle line:84% You set this piece, just set it in water 08:41.380 --> 08:43.840 align:middle line:90% where it's touching the roots. 08:43.840 --> 08:45.270 align:middle line:90% Wait till it gets to this point. 08:45.270 --> 08:48.710 align:middle line:90% 08:48.710 --> 08:51.350 align:middle line:84% Stick it in the ground, and you're 08:51.350 --> 08:54.230 align:middle line:84% going to be able to see the roots. 08:54.230 --> 08:55.040 align:middle line:90% It's that simple. 08:55.040 --> 08:56.140 align:middle line:90% Trust me, guys. 08:56.140 --> 08:58.610 align:middle line:84% You want to do this, because this here right here, 08:58.610 --> 09:01.195 align:middle line:84% this is awesome, and it's healthy as hell. 09:01.195 --> 09:02.570 align:middle line:84% It's one of the healthiest things 09:02.570 --> 09:04.280 align:middle line:90% you can put in your garden. 09:04.280 --> 09:05.720 align:middle line:90% And plus, if you have-- 09:05.720 --> 09:07.610 align:middle line:84% you can grow this in boxes, even. 09:07.610 --> 09:11.240 align:middle line:84% And if you have a terrace, you can use this, 09:11.240 --> 09:15.260 align:middle line:84% because it gets like, up to 12 feet, 13 feet. 09:15.260 --> 09:19.550 align:middle line:84% You can use this as a fence or a shade structure 09:19.550 --> 09:24.140 align:middle line:84% for your terrace garden on your balcony. 09:24.140 --> 09:25.320 align:middle line:90% Sugarcane. 09:25.320 --> 09:26.570 align:middle line:90% You shouldn't live without it. 09:26.570 --> 09:30.000 align:middle line:90% [MUSIC PLAYING] 09:30.000 --> 09:33.430 align:middle line:90% 09:33.430 --> 09:34.670 align:middle line:90% OK, sugarcane. 09:34.670 --> 09:35.810 align:middle line:90% That was cutting. 09:35.810 --> 09:37.037 align:middle line:90% You got that? 09:37.037 --> 09:38.120 align:middle line:90% I want to see some photos. 09:38.120 --> 09:40.422 align:middle line:84% I want you guys to send me some pictures of that. 09:40.422 --> 09:41.630 align:middle line:90% I want to see your sugarcane. 09:41.630 --> 09:45.650 align:middle line:84% Share it with me, your sugar cane, not the damn picture. 09:45.650 --> 09:52.130 align:middle line:84% So now, we're going to do division on this aloe, OK? 09:52.130 --> 09:53.930 align:middle line:84% So if you look close, you will see 09:53.930 --> 09:58.280 align:middle line:84% that there's a bunch of plants in here, 09:58.280 --> 10:01.290 align:middle line:90% and they want to get out. 10:01.290 --> 10:06.650 align:middle line:84% So a lot of times with this, they're so tight in here 10:06.650 --> 10:11.743 align:middle line:84% that you might need to cut the can that they're in. 10:11.743 --> 10:13.910 align:middle line:84% But I'm going to see if we can pull these out first. 10:13.910 --> 10:16.800 align:middle line:90% 10:16.800 --> 10:19.430 align:middle line:84% So a lot of times, you want to loosen up the roots. 10:19.430 --> 10:23.680 align:middle line:90% 10:23.680 --> 10:26.390 align:middle line:84% And if this is on the ground, you can stomp on it. 10:26.390 --> 10:29.770 align:middle line:90% 10:29.770 --> 10:33.610 align:middle line:90% So oh yeah, we got this. 10:33.610 --> 10:36.940 align:middle line:90% 10:36.940 --> 10:37.690 align:middle line:90% Come on, baby. 10:37.690 --> 10:45.010 align:middle line:90% 10:45.010 --> 10:49.690 align:middle line:84% As you can see, this is root bound, 10:49.690 --> 10:56.380 align:middle line:84% bad, and it's even got an ant's nest in it. 10:56.380 --> 10:59.760 align:middle line:84% So what I would do here, I would do this. 10:59.760 --> 11:11.460 align:middle line:90% 11:11.460 --> 11:12.540 align:middle line:90% But what these plants-- 11:12.540 --> 11:15.830 align:middle line:90% 11:15.830 --> 11:17.240 align:middle line:90% OK. 11:17.240 --> 11:19.160 align:middle line:84% So you can see how many plants are here 11:19.160 --> 11:20.750 align:middle line:90% that you didn't notice before. 11:20.750 --> 11:21.250 align:middle line:90% Watch. 11:21.250 --> 11:23.140 align:middle line:84% Watch when we start separating them. 11:23.140 --> 11:23.640 align:middle line:90% One. 11:23.640 --> 11:28.210 align:middle line:90% 11:28.210 --> 11:32.920 align:middle line:84% These are pups, and they will get very big if you put them 11:32.920 --> 11:33.700 align:middle line:90% in the right pot. 11:33.700 --> 11:38.305 align:middle line:84% Some aloe doesn't get like this, but these are the giant aloes. 11:38.305 --> 11:41.180 align:middle line:90% 11:41.180 --> 11:42.830 align:middle line:84% You should have aloe in your garden, 11:42.830 --> 11:46.100 align:middle line:90% because you can make soap. 11:46.100 --> 11:48.570 align:middle line:90% It's an astringent. 11:48.570 --> 11:50.990 align:middle line:84% If you get wounds, this is the first thing 11:50.990 --> 11:53.780 align:middle line:90% that you should put on it. 11:53.780 --> 11:56.450 align:middle line:90% See how pretty my skin is? 11:56.450 --> 11:58.970 align:middle line:90% It's because of the aloe. 11:58.970 --> 12:03.470 align:middle line:84% So no, definitely, you should have this in your arsenal, 12:03.470 --> 12:04.640 align:middle line:90% and you can drink it. 12:04.640 --> 12:06.115 align:middle line:90% It's very healthy for you. 12:06.115 --> 12:07.490 align:middle line:84% You can make the juice out of it. 12:07.490 --> 12:09.470 align:middle line:84% We'll break a piece, and you can see. 12:09.470 --> 12:12.910 align:middle line:84% It's bitter, but you can put some sugar cane juice in it 12:12.910 --> 12:15.410 align:middle line:90% and make it editable. 12:15.410 --> 12:16.220 align:middle line:90% Let's see how many. 12:16.220 --> 12:17.060 align:middle line:90% I got one, two. 12:17.060 --> 12:22.000 align:middle line:90% 12:22.000 --> 12:23.710 align:middle line:90% That. 12:23.710 --> 12:25.632 align:middle line:90% See this root? 12:25.632 --> 12:26.840 align:middle line:90% That's a whole 'nother plant. 12:26.840 --> 12:30.258 align:middle line:90% 12:30.258 --> 12:32.050 align:middle line:84% And see, once you start pulling them apart, 12:32.050 --> 12:33.730 align:middle line:84% you can see how easy it is to get them. 12:33.730 --> 12:36.370 align:middle line:90% 12:36.370 --> 12:38.890 align:middle line:84% And now, you see why-- how I have this 12:38.890 --> 12:40.720 align:middle line:90% is because of things like this. 12:40.720 --> 12:45.410 align:middle line:84% Just one plant gave me all of these pups. 12:45.410 --> 12:48.700 align:middle line:84% So you don't have to spend all your money at the nursery. 12:48.700 --> 12:51.610 align:middle line:84% You see aloe in somebody's yard, and you ask them that, 12:51.610 --> 12:53.560 align:middle line:90% could you have a piece? 12:53.560 --> 12:58.510 align:middle line:84% Take it, because one of these will give you this. 12:58.510 --> 13:01.750 align:middle line:84% And what you're seeing now is how crowded 13:01.750 --> 13:06.190 align:middle line:90% this is has made this plant. 13:06.190 --> 13:08.890 align:middle line:84% So this is aloe, but you can do this 13:08.890 --> 13:11.620 align:middle line:84% on any plant like cacti and succulents. 13:11.620 --> 13:14.360 align:middle line:84% These are perennials that live a long time 13:14.360 --> 13:16.820 align:middle line:84% and can get crowded as they grow. 13:16.820 --> 13:18.420 align:middle line:84% So not only does propagating them 13:18.420 --> 13:21.150 align:middle line:84% like this give you new plants, but it also 13:21.150 --> 13:24.120 align:middle line:84% helps keep the existing ones healthy by giving it 13:24.120 --> 13:24.960 align:middle line:90% room to grow. 13:24.960 --> 13:25.780 align:middle line:90% [RIPPING] 13:25.780 --> 13:27.420 align:middle line:90% You hear that? 13:27.420 --> 13:29.070 align:middle line:84% You don't just want to rip it, but you 13:29.070 --> 13:31.520 align:middle line:84% want to feel that you're not breaking nothing. 13:31.520 --> 13:35.000 align:middle line:90% 13:35.000 --> 13:38.030 align:middle line:84% But I'm going to show you guys how easy it is just 13:38.030 --> 13:40.460 align:middle line:90% to replant these pups. 13:40.460 --> 13:42.080 align:middle line:90% And so you can see-- 13:42.080 --> 13:43.850 align:middle line:90% a lot of people don't know how. 13:43.850 --> 13:48.060 align:middle line:84% Let's open one of these, and you can see 13:48.060 --> 13:49.710 align:middle line:90% this, the the juice in there. 13:49.710 --> 13:56.540 align:middle line:90% 13:56.540 --> 14:02.280 align:middle line:84% So what I would do, get a knife and just clean it up. 14:02.280 --> 14:12.490 align:middle line:90% 14:12.490 --> 14:16.505 align:middle line:84% Open up the roots, and these are going 14:16.505 --> 14:18.880 align:middle line:84% to take off, because they have such healthy roots on them 14:18.880 --> 14:21.780 align:middle line:90% already. 14:21.780 --> 14:23.460 align:middle line:90% So I have a pot under here. 14:23.460 --> 14:30.140 align:middle line:90% 14:30.140 --> 14:31.090 align:middle line:90% Get some more soil. 14:31.090 --> 14:36.620 align:middle line:90% 14:36.620 --> 14:40.130 align:middle line:84% So if you want, what you could do 14:40.130 --> 14:45.090 align:middle line:84% is, you can put several plants in here, 14:45.090 --> 14:48.155 align:middle line:90% or you can just put one. 14:48.155 --> 14:49.770 align:middle line:90% And it's real simple. 14:49.770 --> 14:51.000 align:middle line:90% These are simple. 14:51.000 --> 14:54.060 align:middle line:84% I would probably have a little more sand in my soil. 14:54.060 --> 14:58.330 align:middle line:84% I would mix some sand in here just for the drainage. 14:58.330 --> 15:02.670 align:middle line:84% And a lot of times what I do when I'm planting something 15:02.670 --> 15:06.870 align:middle line:84% in a pot, I'll take compost that's not all the way broken 15:06.870 --> 15:10.070 align:middle line:84% down, or I'll take dry leaves that I've cut, 15:10.070 --> 15:12.540 align:middle line:84% and I'll put them in the bottom of the pot 15:12.540 --> 15:14.400 align:middle line:84% that high, because what that does, 15:14.400 --> 15:16.350 align:middle line:84% I found it helps hold the moisture. 15:16.350 --> 15:18.690 align:middle line:84% All the water just doesn't run to the bottom. 15:18.690 --> 15:21.930 align:middle line:84% Those leaves suck it up and hold it, so that's a good way, 15:21.930 --> 15:24.960 align:middle line:84% too, when you're pruning and dead heading, 15:24.960 --> 15:27.540 align:middle line:90% is to save that, those cuttings. 15:27.540 --> 15:32.110 align:middle line:84% And use it, and put it back into the process. 15:32.110 --> 15:34.980 align:middle line:90% So just like this. 15:34.980 --> 15:38.540 align:middle line:84% You want to put a plant like this in the center of the pot. 15:38.540 --> 15:39.410 align:middle line:90% Why? 15:39.410 --> 15:43.890 align:middle line:84% Because you want the roots to have equal access to space. 15:43.890 --> 15:48.648 align:middle line:84% Now, if I was to put this right here, the roots on this side 15:48.648 --> 15:50.440 align:middle line:84% are going, and the roots of this side of it 15:50.440 --> 15:52.370 align:middle line:84% are going to be crushed against the wall. 15:52.370 --> 15:57.040 align:middle line:84% So for you, for this plant to take more nutrients up, 15:57.040 --> 16:01.820 align:middle line:84% you want to give all of the roots an equal opportunity. 16:01.820 --> 16:03.100 align:middle line:90% Equal opportunity, America. 16:03.100 --> 16:05.498 align:middle line:84% Does that-- you know, do you know anything about that? 16:05.498 --> 16:06.790 align:middle line:90% So you want to give the plant-- 16:06.790 --> 16:07.630 align:middle line:90% [LAUGHS] 16:07.630 --> 16:12.365 align:middle line:84% You want to give the plants a chance to thrive and survive, 16:12.365 --> 16:13.240 align:middle line:90% and you want to push. 16:13.240 --> 16:15.140 align:middle line:90% You want to do it firm. 16:15.140 --> 16:19.570 align:middle line:84% And so what I would do, I would probably get some rocks. 16:19.570 --> 16:23.200 align:middle line:84% If this is in your house, get some pretty rocks, you know, 16:23.200 --> 16:25.630 align:middle line:84% and some colorful things, and there you have it. 16:25.630 --> 16:28.390 align:middle line:90% You have a nice healthy plant. 16:28.390 --> 16:31.600 align:middle line:84% And if you want, just think about-- you 16:31.600 --> 16:34.900 align:middle line:84% can give these as gifts, or you can 16:34.900 --> 16:38.350 align:middle line:84% put a box outside your house and say free agave, 16:38.350 --> 16:39.580 align:middle line:90% or you can sell them. 16:39.580 --> 16:44.990 align:middle line:84% So there is no end to the bounty of mother nature. 16:44.990 --> 16:49.000 align:middle line:84% There's enough for everybody, and that's the one thing 16:49.000 --> 16:52.120 align:middle line:84% that you will learn from gardening. 16:52.120 --> 16:55.090 align:middle line:84% There is no shortage of food, there is no shortage of air. 16:55.090 --> 16:57.490 align:middle line:84% There is no shortages of none of the resources 16:57.490 --> 17:01.720 align:middle line:84% that mother nature gives us, and this shows you that. 17:01.720 --> 17:05.530 align:middle line:84% You know, but the one thing that we need to exceed 17:05.530 --> 17:07.660 align:middle line:84% is man's need for greed and change 17:07.660 --> 17:09.520 align:middle line:90% that to man's need for seed. 17:09.520 --> 17:10.690 align:middle line:90% That's what this is about. 17:10.690 --> 17:12.810 align:middle line:90% Go plant some shit.
