How to Propagate Hydrangeas!!! A Quick, Easy, and Effective Way to Propagate Unpatented Hydrangeas

Published 2023-06-22
Here's how to propagate unpatented hydrangeas and have success every time! Please only propagate plants that do not have a patent. In this video I'll show you when to take hydrangea cuttings, how to take hydrangea cuttings, how to root them in water, and how to pot them up and grow them into baby shrubs. At the end of the video, I'll show you the result of this hydrangea propagation. It's currently a year later and they are still small, but they all have one bloom. We'll also cover when to plant the baby hydrangea shrubs into the garden. You can easily root hydrangeas with almost no effort at all, and this hands-off method of water propagation is great for the busy gardener or beginner gardener.

  • I think I speak for many when I say, the "how to propagate" videos are appreciated by those who have never done it and those who like learning new methods. Thanks

    It’s funny because when I prune my hydrangeas in late winter or early spring I just stick them crisscrossed in the ground as a barrier for the dogs and now they are all growing as a fence!😃

    I would like to know where you put them after you put them in the water, such as: Direct sunlight, full sun, partial sun, partial shade, temperature around them, and how often you changed the water. Thanks.

    Sure wish I could get one from my late gramma’s home. Around the year 1987, gramma was alone on a ladder painting her home by herself. She had a two story house, if you do not consider the sunken lower story. Gramma had Paget’s disease, so her legs were bowed and brittle…keep this in mind. The soft soil must have moved the ladder and it fell, and she fell the two stories below. She should have shattered, and there were no cell phones and no way someone with broken hips and legs in a rural area could crawl inside to the phone easily…but she just had soreness and bruising no broken bones at all! See she had this big blue hydrangea bush by the side of the house, and she landed on it. It took the brunt of the fall, splitting down the center, so somehow she didn’t die alone and scared in pain because of that bush. She loved it so much after this! She watered it and hoped it wouldn’t die. Well, even though the main stem cracked to the ground, it did not die. It continued to grow back healthy. We consider this a Savior Plant.

    After seeing the prices of hydrangeas at the garden center, I decided that there has to be a better way. I constantly have jars full of propagated indoor plant cuttings, so I knew I could do this technique. My master bathroom serves as a "green house," as it has two huge frosted windows, and everything grows SO well there! The other reason is I have some very special hydrangea plants given to me when my mother died. So I would love to have some baby plants from these!! (I also have the perfect flower bed in my yard, that is ready for when it's time to plant!)

    Excellent teaching video, Danielle. I love propagating plants and hydrangeas are one of the easiest in my experience.
  • @janicelhayes4739
    Thank you I just bought my first hydrangea. My mother grew them for years. I love them but never had the space. My eldest daughter lives in Portland Maine and grows hydrangeas because of me. 😊
