How to grow hydrangeas in water

1. Cut branches

When growing hydrangeas in hydroponics, it is best to choose healthy and sturdy branches. Do not use branches that are too thin, as such weak branches will find it difficult to take root in hydroponics. Using freshly cut branches will help them to take root faster. The cuttings should be cut to about 10 cm in length and have 1-2 buds on them.

2. Processing

Use scissors or your hands to remove a few leaves at the bottom of the branch, leaving only 1-2 leaves at the top. If the top leaves are relatively large, it is best to cut them in half so that they do not consume too much water. Prepare an appropriate amount of rooting water and put the treated branches into it. The treated branches are easier to root.

3. Hydroponic Method

Find a clean, transparent container of suitable size, put an appropriate amount of pure water in it, and place the branches in the water and secure them. During its rooting period, water needs to be changed in time. If the branches rot before they grow roots, they must be dealt with immediately, or re-pruned and hydroponically grown.

4. Water culture care

When the branches are growing roots, try to place them in a darker place and avoid being exposed to too strong sunlight. The maintenance location should not be exposed to wind, otherwise the moisture contained in the branches will be lost, which is not good for its rooting.
