How to propagate hydrangeas by cuttings for the easiest rooting? Three steps to fast rooting

The hydrangea has the title of a natural "work of art", and its colors shift as if rendered, from delicate pink to deep blue to fresh white. Each color gives the hydrangea a different emotional expression, so one of the most common settings for it is the wedding venue. But now many flower lovers have also moved hydrangeas into their own gardens, and perhaps this is also a way of passing on a love of life. Now, let us copy this love together.

Becoming a hydrangea magnate is actually very simple. Do not throw away spent hydrangeas; follow along with the simple steps below.

1. Find a large tray, cut off the spent flowers, and cut the branches into small sections each with a pair of buds. Pruning method: cut flat about 1 cm above the bud, and make a slanted cut leaving about 3 cm below. For beginners, choose branches with relatively plump buds.

2. Then cut the leaves in half. This is done to reduce water evaporation and also to let the remaining leaves carry out photosynthesis better. Cut the base at a 45-degree angle to increase the water-absorbing area of the later flowering stems.

3. Disinfect the cuttings with carbendazim diluted at 1:1000, and soak them in the tray for 2-3 minutes to sterilize and disinfect.

4. Prepare several disposable cups, first cut a few holes in the bottom of each cup for drainage and airflow, then fill them with the stone medium for cuttings, and pour in water to wet and soak the stone thoroughly.
5. Insert one branch per cup, with the insertion depth preferably about half the cup. This way it can absorb water without becoming too wet, and it is also more convenient to observe root development. Find a relatively shallow tray and place the prepared cuttings in the tray. Then, if conditions allow, flower lovers can also add a few drops of rooting liquid to the water, dilute it with water at a ratio of 5:1000, pour it into the tray, and try to fill it to the brim.

6. Finally, move the prepared flowering branches to a ventilated, shaded place. Note that in the following days you should spray a little water on the leaves every day. Once you find the tray is almost dry, you must keep adding rooting water and keep the soil moist at all times. Then wait patiently for about one month and they will root. I hope every flower lover can have a garden full of hydrangeas.
