Grow More Hydrangeas: Simple Propagation Guide
Hydrangeas: Easy Propagation with Cuttings Home gardeners often struggle with propagating hydrangeas. BotanicKing, a gardening enthusiast with a TikTok following, offers a simple solution. In a recent video, BotanicKing demonstrates a method for propagating hydrangeas from cuttings, achieving successful rooting in about 45 days. "Cutting of hydrangeas in this way can lead to rapid rooting," BotanicKing explains in the video. The process begins by selecting healthy branches with two or three bud points. Leaves at the bottom are removed, and the remaining leaves are cut in half to reduce water evaporation. A 45-degree angled cut is made at the base of the cutting to increase water absorption. The prepared cuttings are placed in a ventilated area to dry before planting in small cups filled with clean vermiculite. The cuttings are then watered thoroughly and placed in a warm, ventilated location for maintenance. BotanicKing suggests adding water to the tray when the soil is dry. The video concludes with the successful rooting of the cuttings, showcasing their healthy growth and new sprouts. This simple method offers a practical solution for home gardeners looking to propagate their hydrangeas, expanding their gardens with ease and success.
