No need to buy hydrangeas: root a single cutting and grow dozens of pots that bloom with hundreds of big flower balls

Hydrangeas bloom very beautifully, and their flowers are huge, forming one big flower ball after another, which is deeply loved by gardeners. So if you want to propagate hydrangeas yourself, how should you take cuttings? This is generally how I do the cuttings.

Cutting time: as long as it is during the hydrangea's growing season and the temperature is around 20 degrees, you can take cuttings.

Branch selection: you can use branches that have just finished blooming or semi-lignified branches. Such branches have greater vitality and are easy to root as cuttings.

Cut off a branch that has just finished blooming, remove the flower ball, and trim the branch into small sections of about 10 cm, keeping one pair of leaves on each section.

For the cutting soil, I generally use leaf mold that I dug myself, mixed with half large-particle river sand, and then mixed in a little garden soil. This kind of soil is loose and breathable. Whether for cuttings or for caring for hydrangeas, it is very good, and it is also suitable for most potted flowers.

Just insert the branches into the flowerpot, then water thoroughly, and place it in a spot with scattered light and good ventilation. In less than a month, they can take root.

After rooting, hydrangeas are best kept in a semi-shaded place, where they will grow very vigorously. Hydrangeas rooted from cuttings in the same year will not bloom; if cared for well, they will bloom the next year.

This hydrangea has been growing for several years, and the branches at the bottom have all become woody, but it still blooms hundreds of flowers every year.
