Hello Gardeners and Plant Enthusiasts, I am actually not much of a gardener but I am wondering if it is possible to take clippings from Hidrangeas and start another plant?
Hi there !! ----------- This is for Propigation for perennial hydrangea's etc - lacecap and mophead hydrangeas * To my understanding this is very easy to do and it is best to do it in the spring(April) or in August . 1. pick the new growth. 2. Cut between 6 or 8 inches from the end of a stem that has no blooms. 3. Be sure the cut has at least two pairs of leaves. 4. Remove the pair of leaves closest to the bottom of the stem. -dab a little rooting hormone over the cut ends and a bit up the stem* 5. Plant the stem in a shady area in the garden or pot. Be sure the soil is sandy 6. Cover the cutting with a clear object, such as a glass jar. 7. Leave the glass cover over the new shoot until the root system forms. 8. Keep moist - not wet. 9. When roots form, about 10 days to begin rooting* then move the plant to a permanent location. Hydrangea will grow in containers or your garden. Hope this helps ! Suez
You might want to clarify which type of Hydrangea you are referring to. Perhaps not all can be grown from cuttings. I think some die back to the ground each year - at least here, they do.
Clip in the early spring, before bud formation, for best propagation results... I have done so with 100% success virtually direct planting into the soil...
