How To Grow New Hydrangeas From Cuttings

 


My favorite flowers have always been roses, peonies, and hydrangeas. I love to receive floral arrangements that include these varieties, but I especially love to grow my own. Unfortunately, these varieties also happen to be among the priciest of the plants! So when I stumbled upon a way to propagate hydrangeas from existing plants, I knew I had to try it.


The first step is either having existing hydrangea bushes in your garden, or finding a friend or family member who doesn’t mind letting you take some clippings. If you have neither, you can always grow your own hydrangeas from seeds – you just have to have a little patience! Once you’ve located a mature plant, use a pair of sharp, disinfected pruners to cut a stem about 5″ long. Make sure you are cutting above a node, and find a stem that has lush, healthy green leaves on it. Remove all of the leaves except the top ones, then immediately place in a cup of lukewarm water.
