Hydrangeas are deciduous plants that vary in size from species to species, from small shrubs to larger trees that look like trees. If you want to grow your own hydrangeas, you can create new plants by cuttings or cuttings. There are many methods of propagation, depending on whether you have a mother plant and how many branches you want to propagate.
Steps
Choose hydrangea branches
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/07/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-1-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-1-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/07/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-1- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-1-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Brush off mulch and soil around the base of the mature hydrangea plant.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/07/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/07/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-2- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Find a branch with 2 to 3 pairs of leaves and no flowers. It is best to look for branches near the base of the tree, as older branches tend to produce more roots.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/06/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/06/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-3- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Make sure the branch you want to cut is at least 12 -15 cm long.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/54/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/54/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-4- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Cut branches in the morning. Avoid cutting when the leaves are wilting.
Extracting branches from bushes
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3c/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3c/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-13- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pull a branch near the base of the shrub so that it touches the ground.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/08/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/08/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-14- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Hold the branch steady. Use bricks, stones or heavy objects to block the branches.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6a/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6a/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-15- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Continue watering as usual. Keep the soil moist.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/17/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/17/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-16- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Lift out the brick or stone and check to see if the branch is rooted.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6f/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6f/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-17- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Replace the brick or stone if the roots have not appeared, or the roots have not touched the ground. Check back in a week.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/12/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-18-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-18-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/12/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-18- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-18-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Cut branches away from the parent tree.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4b/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-19-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-19-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4b/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-19- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-19-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dig the roots in the ground. Be careful not to cut the roots of the branch or the parent plant.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/93/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-20-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-20-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/93/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-20- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-20-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Plant branches out where you want to plant. Make sure the plant is planted in partial shade.
Planting hydrangea branches in pots
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/42/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/42/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-5- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Prepare a pot to plant one or more branches.
- Use a mixture of 1 part potting soil or peat moss mixed with 1 part sand or vermiculite.
- Fill the pot with soil and completely moisten the soil. Check to make sure no soil is dry.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b5/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b5/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-6- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the selected branches.
- Cut at least 6 cm below the leaf eye.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a9/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a9/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-7- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Trim leaves. Cut off the leaves below the top pair of leaves. You need to be careful, remember to cut above the leaf nodes. Pruning leaves will help the plant grow more roots.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9d/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9d/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-8- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Partially prune the top leaves. Although not required, branches can take root more often if you cut the large leaves in half.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7e/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7e/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-9- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dip the cut end of the hydrangea twig in a rooting hormone. You can take hormones in liquid or powder form. Hydrangea twigs can be propagated without rooting hormone, but roots will grow faster if you use this hormone.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6f/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6f/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-10- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Insert the branch into the prepared pot of soil. Gently press the branch down about 5 cm deep.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e3/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e3/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-11- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wait for the branch to take root. It usually takes about 2-3 weeks for hydrangeas to take root, but this time can be shorter depending on temperature and humidity conditions.
- Place the potted cuttings outdoors if the temperature fluctuates between 15.5 and 27 degrees Celsius. You also need to place the pot in a place with partial shade and shelter from the wind.
- Leave the pot indoors if the outside temperature is too hot or too cold for the above temperature range. Make sure the branches receive partial or indirect sunlight.
- Maintain moisture in the soil but don’t let it get too wet. Waterlogged soil from over-watering can lead to rotting.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ee/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ee/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-12- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Try pulling a branch lightly after it’s been in the ground for 2-3 weeks. If you feel resistance, the branch has taken root. At this point you can plant the branch or wait for the root system to develop more.
Stimulate branches to take root in water
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5e/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-21-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-21-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5e/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-21- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-21-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Prepare the branches by pruning the leaves. Cut a branch without flowers or buds, at least 10-15 cm long. Prune the lower leaves. Cut off the top half of the leaf.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/97/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-22-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-22-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/97/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-22- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-22-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Plug the twig into a pitcher or cup of water. Clear glass jars or cups are best, as you can watch the roots grow.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e7/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-23-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-23-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e7/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-23- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-23-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wait for the roots to appear.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/cc/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-24-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-24-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/cc/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-24- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-24-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Change the water in the tank regularly to prevent mold.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b7/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-25-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea- from-Cuttings-Step-25-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b7/Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-25- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Grow-Hydrangea-from-Cuttings-Step-25-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Take out the branches to plant when the roots have grown.
Advice
- Most gardeners have success with the method of rooting plants in the soil rather than in water.
- Propagation of hydrangeas is most successful when done in early summer, as the newly grown plants will have time to harden before fall arrives.
- You can store hydrangea cuttings in the refrigerator overnight if you can’t plant them right away.
Warning
- Keep a relative distance between the branches so that the leaves of one branch do not touch the other, leading to rotting.
- If you plant a flowering stem, the newly planted hydrangea will not flower. The branches that flowered last year will not bloom this year.
Things you need
- Hydrangea branch
- Soil for plants or moss
- Sand or vermiculite
- Pots
- Water
- Sharp scissors or pruning shears
- Rooting-stimulating hormone
- Big brick or stone
- Flying in the garden
- Flower vase
