Can hydrangea survive from cuttings in autumn?

Hydrangea cuttings can be done all year round as long as the microenvironment is well controlled. However, since hydrangeas produce flower buds in autumn, if you cut branches for cuttings in autumn, it is possible that the mother plant will not bloom in spring. So you need to be cautious. Therefore, a large number of hydrangea cuttings are often done in spring after the hydrangeas bloom. Of course, if your hydrangea mother plant is not for viewing the flowers but for breeding seedlings, then you can cut it for cuttings at any time.

How to get a high survival rate of hydrangea cuttings

1. Choose healthy and strong branches, leave a pair of leaves, cut off most of the leaves to reduce water evaporation, cut the top of the branch flat and the bottom obliquely.

2. The cutting medium should be moisturizing and transparent, and can be made of vermiculite, Akadama, perlite or river sand.

3. During the hydrangea cutting process, high humidity must be maintained so that the branches will not dry out quickly.

Why is there no response after one month of hydrangea cuttings?

If the roots haven't grown for more than a month, it may be a problem with light. The grafted hydrangeas should be placed in a ventilated and cool place. After a few days, they should be placed under scattered light. Pay attention to soil moisture retention. Spray water in time after grafting to maintain a relatively humid environment. Appropriate scattered light is conducive to photosynthesis of the leaves, transporting organic matter to the roots, and allowing them to take root quickly.
