Grow a Hydrangea Paradise: Simple Propagation Guide
Propagating Hydrangeas: A Step-by-Step Guide for Lush Blooms Home gardeners can now easily propagate their hydrangeas thanks to a popular video tutorial. The video, uploaded by 'garden tips,' details two methods for successful propagation: using vermiculite and using sterile soil. The author, a florist with 10 years of experience, emphasizes the importance of selecting healthy stems with full buds and making precise cuts for optimal rooting. "Choose strong stems with full, healthy buds. Avoid ones that are too old or too tender," advises the author in the video. The tutorial then walks viewers through the process of preparing the cuttings, inserting them into the chosen medium, and the importance of maintaining moisture. After two to three weeks, the video shows how to check for successful rooting by gently moving the cutting. If the soil lifts with it, roots have formed. The final step involves transplanting the rooted cuttings into small pots (about 10 centimeters in diameter) and applying a balanced NPK fertilizer to encourage new growth. This clear and concise tutorial empowers home gardeners to easily propagate their hydrangeas, resulting in a beautiful display of blooms. The video's popularity, with over 120,000 views and nearly 3,000 likes, demonstrates the widespread interest in this practical gardening technique.
