Hydrangea cutting method diagram

Cutting preparation

When propagating hydrangeas by cuttings, because you are choosing branch cuttings, you first need to process the branches.

When choosing branches, you should choose branches that are relatively strong and remove them with a knife. Note that when removing the branches, the wound should be smooth and preferably at a 45° angle.

Then, you can choose to cut the removed branches flatly at the nodes of the leaves. Generally, use a small knife to cut flatly above the nodes, and cut off the excess branches, leaving only two leaves.

The remaining leaves also need to be cut off in part, preferably in half, so that when the cuttings are taken, the evaporation of water can be reduced and the cuttings will be easier to survive.

Cutting method

To prepare the soil, generally choose loose and fertile sandy soil, and then use the treated branches for cuttings. Note that when cutting, it is best to use carbendazim for disinfection. After cuttings, spray water frequently to keep them moist.

Generally speaking, hydrangeas will take root about 20 days after cuttings and can be potted after 1 month.
