What is the best way to propagate a Hydrangea?

Hello,


I do "cuttings".


I've propagated over 100 this summer using, "Dip-n-Grow" liquid rooting hormone.


I have been pleased with a 100% strike rate.


They all rooted within 3 weeks.


Go to hydrangeashydrangeas.com, like suggested above, plus visit; gardenweb.com/hydrangeas





As of right now, I'm trying to root 50 more using an "aeroponic", "hydroponic", method, inside, under lights, with a powered water pump to mist cutting's ends, to promote roots, using no soil of any type.





I learn valuable knowledge from the gardenweb members about all kinds of flower and gardening techniques.


Have fun!

Reply:The best wat to propagate Hydrangea is by a system called layering. Simply bend one branch down to the ground, peg it so it can`t move, and cover the center of the stem with a few inches of dirt. It will root in 6-8 weeks, or over winter. Then cut it off from them parent, and re-plant. Another similar approach is air-layering, which is similar to the other. Scrape about 2 inches 'bark' off 1 side only halfway up 1 stem. Apply a 2 - 3 inch wet ball of peat moss, and wrap in plastic. Make sure it stays wet. When it roots out there, finish as before.
