Growing hydrangeas from cuttings is an enjoyable and rewarding process. Here’s a simplified guide to help you get started:

  1. Create a Mini Greenhouse: Cover the pot with a plastic bag or plastic sheeting to create a humid environment. Make sure the plastic doesn’t touch the leaves.
  2. Care for Your Cutting: Place the pot in a location with bright indirect light and keep the soil consistently moist. Check for condensation inside the bag and adjust ventilation as needed.
  3. Check for Root Growth: After 2-4 weeks, gently tug on the cutting to check for resistance, which indicates root growth.
  4. Transplant Your New Hydrangea: Once the cutting has a healthy root system, transplant it into a larger pot or directly into the garden. Choose a location with morning sun and afternoon shade, and water the plant well after transplanting.
  5. Remember: Patience is key, and not all cuttings will root successfully. With time and care, you will enjoy the beauty of your new hydrangea plants.
