Australia’S Guide On Growing Hydrangeas From Cuttings?

This guide provides a step-by-step guide on how to grow hydrangeas from cuttings, a popular flower in gardens. The guide covers the process of planting, watering, fertilizing, and pruning hydrangeas, which are easy to propagate from cuttings. The key is to take the cuttings in spring or early summer, and the soil should be well-prepared.

Hydrangea quercifolia (oakleaf hydrangea) is a hardy species that grows up to 8 feet tall with white blooms. To propagate hydrangeas from cuttings, place them about a third of the way into a pot filled with propagating mix. Find a bright spot out of direct sunlight, give it a good watering, and keep the soil damp for the first few weeks until small buds start to appear at the end of the stem.

To propagate hydrangeas from cuttings, prepare the soil by preparing it well and placing it in a pot filled with propagating mix. Remove any leaves or dead flower heads and dab the soil with a clean pruner. Start with a fresh green stem taken in spring or early summer and deadhead the flowers to get living stems.

Hardwood cuttings taken in late fall or early winter when the year’s new stems have grown firm and mature can be used to root hydrangeas. Cover the cutting with a plastic bag and place it in bright but indirect light. After a few weeks, gently tug on the stem to propagate it.

To propagate hydrangeas from hardwood cuttings during winter, take the plants during the time when they are leafless and dormant.
