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 been 3rd year I am trying to propagate Hydrangeas cuttings in the water and after 3 to 4 weeks stems get rot and I plant them in the ground, nice to see the cutting with beautiful roots, I do not know what I am doing wrong! Or may be I don’t have luck with water propagation.
I'm late to the video (& channel), but at least I made it. thank you for taking the time to make such a thorough list for us! This is fantastic and has saved me so much time. It's approaching late spring here, so I'm going to try my hand at this water propagation method for a couple of the beauties you listed for us ❤❤❤ Thanks again so very much!
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!😃
Love your garden! Danielle, you are such a superb home gardener. And may I ask one question? I did my cut and propagations on early of April. Is it better I plant them before the hot summer or after? Thanks so much! My place next week will cloudy and comfy. Next next week will be over 30 degree😅😅 I’m thinking if I plant some of them in my garden next week😮
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.
I just keep the water topped up and it keeps it fresh. Mine are on the kitchen windowsill and then onto pots. I’m more cautious and plant on to bigger pots as they grow. Not all are successful but most are x
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.
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm Hi Danielle! Thank you for another great propagation video! I’m excited to try this method out. Can you point out what the hydrangea you propagated looks like now during your next garden tour? I’m curious how much growth it’s put on since Fall. :)
Hi Danielle, thank you again for another great tip on propagating plants! Who doesn't love a free plant from their own garden!! Or to share one with a fellow gardener!! Your videos are much appreciated 😍
I took hydrangea cuttings last summer (August) after seeing this video and overwintered the little pots in my front porch. I was 100% successful and now they are about 18” tall with several branches (I did pinch in early summer to get some branching). I planted them in the ground and they should bloom next summer! 🎉
Hi I was also thinking about doing it this way and cutting some now. I am in a zone 6a. What zone are you in? Do you think I could cut them and keep them in my house over winter?

@@kellynauhormez4607 I don’t know. I’ve only ever overwintered in my porch. It has walls, but no heat. So it’s kind of like a garage. Try it! I think if they are kept in a heated space, they would need extra light from grow lights or something and I’m not sure how they do without chill hours/a dormancy period, but you don’t have much to lose.
Thanks for reminding us that it is that time of the year to think about doing this. I am slightly warmer than you zone eight, but I will garden along with you. I’m excited to see how it goes.
I take tons of cuttings but I’ve never done hydrangeas, I will definitely do that this year. It’s crazy that our zone is the same but your last frost date is 6 weeks earlier than mine, so I’m going to wait just a bit longer 😊
I’m SO excited to try this! With as expensive as plants are now how wonderful it is to start them with such ease! I have been following you for about two years now and I’ve learned so much! Thank you!!
Thank you with the price of things I want to propagate a lot of my good plants so I can pass them on to my children because now they are starting to set up their own Homestead. Plus we’re expanding our yard and as you know that’s expensive enough. I’ll be sniping this weekend Hope to let you know if this method works for me here in West Michigan ❤
These propagation videos are wonderful information to have, Danielle! I've done the same with forsythia tip cuttings. The only downside is that patience is needed for maturity. Great teaching video. Thanks!
Thank you for such a cheerful and easy way to propagate hydrangeas! I was needing an easy no fuss way since I am gone a lot taking care of a family member with Dimentia.
Great video. No annoying product flogging and straight away a good explanation. Last year I did something similar but took the cut part and dipped it rooting powder before putting it in water. Does rooting powder help or is it not necessary at all ?? Here in Canada it is the start of June with no chance of frost. Is it OK to leave the cuttings outside in the bottle in full sunshine ?
Love your videos! I was hoping you or some of your viewers could answer a question….can’t find an answer anywhere. I am propagating hydrangeas right now. It’s only been a couple of weeks and no sign of roots at this point. However, I do see new growth. Today, I noticed one is a little tiny bloom forming on one plant. How is this possible. Should any new growth be left on the cutting or removed until roots begin to form? Love to hear any advice! Happy Gardening 👩🌾 💐👩🌾💐👩🌾💐👩🌾💐👩🌾💐
Thank you so much for sharing. Excellent way to propagate hydrangeas! It was successful. I also added extra water. Then I had to travel and left them. Now I have 4 beautiful new plants. Healthy stems with roots. I’m happy to continue with the next step and plant them in soil.
Thank you so much for the info! I ordered cup & saucer vine seeds on Etsy after watching your video last year. They are growing well and putting out the little lantern like seed pods. But the flowers are minuscule. They are tiny little white flowers, nothing like the cup & saucer blooms that I expected. Where did you purchase your seeds?
Where should we place the water container with the cuttings in it? I have a table next to a north-facing window, a shelf under 6 halogen ceiling lights, and a bright windowsill with 2 grow lights trained on it... Do they need a more shaded place to grow roots?
Awesome. Somewhere along the line i was told hydrangeas dont root in water, and have been failing at trying to root in soil since. I will definitely be trying this out.
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. 😊
Thank you for this information. It’s wonderful to start your own plants from existing plants. I did this from a hydrangea that my mother planted over 30 years ago.
I took 4 clippings June 13th 2024 and put them in water the same exact way as this video. Now august 31st 2024 nothing has grown at all. The leaves have mostly burnt off from the sun and mosquitoes keep trying to lay their eggs in the water. I keep emptying it out and refreshing it and no luck. Might bring them in overwinter in the house and see if that helps. Pretty disappointed about it because the lady in this video seems like she knows what she's talking about and I've tried this a few times before this from other people with no luck. I just want a hydrangea garden dangit 😭😭😭
Hi, thank you so much for your video! Hi I was also thinking about doing it this way and cutting some now. I am in a zone 6a/b. Do you think I could cut them and keep them in my house over winter and plant larger plants in the spring?
Hi Danielle! I’m trying to prop some hydrangeas this year and I’m a bit late to the game. It’s early August and I’m going to water prop. I will probably be putting these into soil cells in mid September. We won’t hit our first frost until late October, so I’m wondering if I should leave the babies in their small pots and perhaps move them to the garage over winter so they don’t experience any hard freezes?
I loooove water propagation, that is by far my most preferred propagation method for indoor plants, and this summer I started to take hydrangea cuttings for the very first time after seeing your video. I was a bit late to the party (so to speak) but I've just started seeing roots so maybe I'll make it in time before the frost. I have a question though- when the plant has been potted up (or when it is planted in the ground)- do you need to do anything to make it branch out, like cut it just over a pair of leaves? I mean, I don't want a leggy hydrangea with just one branch. Do the plant sort that out by itself or is it like many other plants that you need to cut the stem? Thanks for great content! I've seen a lot of your videos by now ❤️🌿🌸
Hi danielle ..i did cuttings june 10th and its aug.2nd and 1 cutting has roots i did about 6 endless summer cuts on new growth and im dissapointed only 1 out of 6 rooted . Kept jars filled with water out of sun . Idk why ? Help ! Thanks
Thank you so much for your info. If I just planted some hydrangeas this year (after watching your videos showing their beauty. I'll maybe take some cuttings next year if they grow well.
Thanks for the video! I had made some cuttings a few days ago and sooooomething didn’t seem right so I came searching. I think I left too much length and they were struggling to get water! Thank you again!
Great video! Can’t wait to try. I’ve had success rooting indoor plant cuttings in water but every outdoor plant cutting dies. Will try again, thanks for the tips!
Love this video! Thank you so much! I propagated snap dragons last year after watching your video and it worked great! Cannot wait to propagate some hydrangeas. Would love to see a lavender propagation video. Thanks again!!!
Thanks. If I take cutting now, can I sprout in water and then plant and keep in a cell until spring in New Hampshire? That would be 8 or 9 months in the house.
This video is so helpful! Thank you!!! Can I put several of them properly cut into one large vase? Do they need direct or indirect sunlight? Thank you in advance:-0
Hi does anyone know where I keep the cuttings please? In the glass jars I mean. I.e. inside or outside or greenhouse, in direct sin or shade.please? Natalie 😊
My cuttings got roots in water! Its really hot summer here i once i pot in soil, i don’t think i can put them outside Should i keep it inside till fall?
Any tips for weigela propagation? I tried this method with them and nothing happening after 2 months. Still alive and looking fine, but no roots. I finally just planted them in the ground and said "good luck!", have had about 10% success rate just sticking cuttings straight into soil, hoped water propagation would be more successful but so far not really.
I wish I knew this before! My MIL had the most amazing coloured dark blue hydrangeas and I always wanted to propagate them but the house got sold before I got the chance…. Still regretting this.
