Using a pencil as a dibber, make holes in a pot filled with seed compost and insert the cuttings. water the cuttings and place them in a propagator at 64 70°f 18 21°c. alternatively you can seal a polythene back over the top. once the cuttings have rooted, harden them off and transplant into individual pots.
Potted hydrangea. varieties of dwarf hydrangeas are ideal as patio plants growing in containers. choose a sturdy container at least two feet (60 cm) wide and make sure it has drainage holes. set the root ball in the pot and fill with a loose potting mix amended with perlite, gravel, or small stone chips for drainage. Gently press the cutting into the soil, water the cutting well, and then allow the water to drain out of the pot. once the pot is well drained, cover the cuttings and the pot with plastic without allowing the plastic to touch the plant material. you may need to use planting stakes or even chopsticks to achieve this. To plant a hydrangea shrub, first dig a wide hole in your landscape. it should be at least 2 ft wider than the plants roots. there is no need for the hole to be deeper than the rootball. gently loosen the roots, place the hydrangea into the hole at the same depth it was in the pot, and fill it back in with soil. Trim leaves from the cutting. remove all but the top two to four highest leaves on the cutting with your pruners, being careful not to damage the stem in the process. when cutting the leaves, keep some space between the main stem and the cut. this allows the integrity of the main stem to remain undamaged. remove half of each of the remaining.
