Finally starting to see a root system appear!
I’ve been trying a number of methods for hydrangea cuttings, and so far, keeping in water for 2 weeks, and then transferring into multi purpose compost with a bit of grit has been the most successful.
I’ve got 6 that have taken like this, and they have been on the kitchen windowsill for a couple of months now.
I’ve got more in the polytunnel which I dipped in rooting powder and put straight into soil. Some have taken, but unfortunately the torrential rain destroyed some, as my polytunnel didn’t survive the winter very well 😢
Fingers crossed they will survive the winter and be available for you to buy next year ☺️
I hope to try some more cuttings in the next month too, but need to find a table that we can put in the conservatory 🙈
