Methods of reproduction of hydrangea

Hydrangea, like any garden plant, has several breeding methods. Some of them are considered small and therefore not effective, and some are very widely applied in practice. So, hydrangea can be multiplied by the following ways:

Seeds are planted in the containers, they do not need to deepen into the soil. Next, they need to be covered with polyethylene or glass. Watch out for soil moisture and ventilate.

It is better to do it in the early morning to keep in the stems of moisture. Sliced \u200b\u200bescape immediately put into the water and proceed to cutting cuttings.

These grooves are putting down the lower shoots and pinch them with reservoir means (slingsters, brackets). It is best to do at the beginning of spring, and by the end of summer young shoots should appear.
