Hydrangea , also known as hydrangea or hydrangea, is a plant of the genus Hydrangea in the Saxifragaceae family. Known for its large, showy, brightly colored flowers, it is perfect for planting on a balcony, in a garden or on a patio. The care of hydrangeas is relatively simple, and the method of cutting propagation is also easy to master. Let’s learn together how to propagate hydrangeas by cuttings. 1. Choose suitable branches and cuttings When propagating hydrangea cuttings, choosing the cuttings is key. The ideal choice is branches with buds or bud points, as these branches are more likely to sprout new leaves. If the branches do not have buds, even if they can take root, the chance of sprouting is low. It is recommended to choose healthy one-year-old branches and avoid using branches that look old or yellow, as these branches have a lower survival rate. Semi-woody and slightly tender branches are more suitable for cuttings. 2. Prepare cutting medium The choice of cutting medium is relatively simple, ordinary garden soil can be used, but you need to ensure that the soil is loose. You can also use river sand or vermiculite as the medium. The cutting depth is about 5 cm, and one or two leaves or buds should be retained on the branches. 3. Management after cutting After cutting, place the hydrangea in a cool and ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent the branches from drying out. If possible, allow other plants to provide shade. Water regularly to keep the soil moist, but avoid standing water. After about a month, new leaves begin to grow and the root system gradually forms. At this time, the successfully grafted hydrangeas can be transplanted with soil into a larger pot. In general, the process of propagating hydrangea cuttings is simple, even easier than that of roses or roses . Cuttings can be carried out throughout the year, especially in spring and autumn when the air humidity is higher, which is more conducive to rooting.
