That's how it's done. Some videos suggest cutting current season softwood stems later spring but her approach of using early spring hardwood prunings is probably easier for any paniculata. The process favours cooler weather and the hardwood is more robust. I did exactly this with Peegee cuttings this spring .. all had roots and were ready for planting by July.

For me, it's just easier to take cutting when I am pruning for the season. The cuttings in this video are doing well on my patio.

Thank you for this tutorial. Just missed my window since it’s now April. I’ll plan to use your method next year. 🌱

I done the same with my Annabelle Hydrangeas this past winter and all have taken , I did use hormone powder and cutting potting mix. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 😄

This was wonderful. I will try to wait until spring, but I'm so excited to start some new limelights! 💐

I was shocked how easy they are to propagate. And if you can believe it, one of the cuttings I took this spring is actually starting to get some flower buds. Amazing!

Thank you for sharing this!! I pruned some of my annabelle and put a few in the ground to mark where i planted other things.....they are still alive and couldn't believe it. Wish I had found your video sooner. I could have done that with all the other branches I pruned off.

It is so fun to make more plants, isn't it?

Hi! New to your channel and enjoying the content! What soil are you using here? TIA!

@GardenMoxie Жыл бұрын

Hi there. That is Miracle Grow potting soil. This season I am working to go peat-free which is a more sustainable method. So far I really like Coco Loco which is a peat-free version they offer at the box stores. I've had mixed results with other peat-free options so far.

What month do you start the process and how long you leave them in pot to root? Do you have a next video where you transplant them to new pots? Thanks,

@GardenMoxie Жыл бұрын

Hi. I am going to do a better job of documenting the entire process within a single video. I take my cuttings in Spring (March here in Michigan) and I'll leave those cuttings in that pot for the summer and will transplant them in Autumn. You can typically tell when they have rooted because they will start getting additional leaves and growth. I will try to highlight the limelight hydrangea cuttings I took a couple years ago during one of my upcoming garden tours.

I like your quick and simple method. How many of those cuttings were successful. Also, have you ever been successful rooting a much longer cutting with leaves at the top?

@GardenMoxie Жыл бұрын

I have 3 new plants growing in the garden now. I typically use the cuttings from my spring trim so I only have experience with the cuttings you see in the video. Thanks for your note.

I haven't seen hydrangeas with hardwood stems in my country. They seem to just be herby here

That is so interesting. Thanks for watching.

Will each cutting produce an individual plant? Or do you plant that whole pot as an individual plant?

@GardenMoxie 8 ай бұрын

Hi, Each cutting is an individual plant.

@flyingpond 3 ай бұрын

Does that one bucket, with all those cuttings, make one plant, or once it takes root and matures do you divide it up into several individual plants?

@GardenMoxie 3 ай бұрын

Hi, You can divide each cutting into a plant, but all I did last season was let them grow and use that as one, bigger plant. It worked great.

I have a few branches and I will try this, hopefully it's going to work. So when should I put it in the soil ? at the end of summer?

@GardenMoxie 2 ай бұрын

@@lauram4168 Watch for the leaves to start growing. That will tell you that the roots are forming and the cuttings are working. I usually plant mine out in the autumn.
