1. When is the best time to divide the plants?

Hydrangea division propagation is best done in early spring before budding.

When dividing the plant, separate the rooted branches from the mother plant, and then plant directly. Water it appropriately after planting, but be careful not to water it too much. Finally, place it in a semi-shaded environment for maintenance, and you can maintain it normally after it grows new buds.

2. Other reproduction methods

1. Cutting propagation: This is the most common method. Cut the branches with better growth from the mother plant, and pay attention to the bottom of the branches to have nodes. The length is about 20 cm. Remove all the leaves at the base, insert it into the substrate and keep the soil slightly moist. It will take about 15-30 days to take root.

2. Layering propagation: It is usually carried out during the budding period and can grow after one month. In the spring of the following year, cut it off from the mother plant and transplant it with the soil.

3. Grafting propagation: You can choose Viburnum seedlings as rootstocks. It is best to do it in spring, and transplanting should be done before budding or after leaf fall.
