Can I take cuttings of hydrangeas in winter?

1. Is it possible to take cuttings in winter?

The temperature in winter is very low. If you are in the northern region, don't do it at this time. The northern part of the southern region will be slightly warmer, and you can do cuttings as long as the temperature is not too low. If you want to do cuttings in winter, you must ensure that the temperature of the cutting environment remains at around 13-18℃. There will be no problem if it is in a greenhouse.

2. Best time for cuttings

Generally speaking, it is best to propagate hydrangea cuttings in spring and autumn. Spring is roughly between the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The climate during this period is very stable, neither too high nor too low, and it is easy for cuttings to take root and survive. If you want to do cuttings in autumn, try to avoid the end of autumn, because the temperature in some areas is already very low at the end of autumn, and the survival rate will be reduced after cuttings.

2. Precautions

The branches used for cuttings must be strong and have more side buds. Such branches have strong growth power and good resistance. Such branches have a high survival rate after cuttings.
