🌿 How to Propagate Hydrangeas – Step-by-Step
1. Find a Healthy Stem
Choose a non-flowering stem about 4–6 inches long. It should be soft (green, not woody) and have at least 2–3 leaf nodes.
2. Make the Cut
Cut the stem just below a leaf node. Remove the bottom leaves, leaving 1–2 at the top.
3. Prep the Cutting
(Optional: Dip the cut end in rooting hormone for faster growth, but it’s not required.)
4. Plant It
Stick the cut end into a small pot filled with moist potting mix. Press the soil gently around the base.
