Care for Hydrangea Cuttings

way out here so we might as well go in and take out this top piece right here now you see these little leaves they'll be fine these bigger leaves are gonna be dissipating humidity and dissipating moisture you want to keep these in a cool place so you want to set them inside your house in a little tray somewhere by a window or by your back sliding glass door keep them watered and they will root SuperDuper awesome now we'll take this cutting and we're gonna do probably five or six of these okay guys so out of five or six of these you'll probably have three or four that will survive and the rest will die they're going to die it's okay it doesn't cost anything it's fun it's free and it's neat to see this little plant will wilt down and start looking bad and then all of a sudden it'll now guys you want to take this and you want to put it in a cool spot in your house with a little bit of Sun so put it by that back sliding glass door in a tray and keep it watered but don't give it too much water today will be the day that you soaked it down and from there you just want to barely keep it moist because you can cause the soil to mildew or rot and you don't want to do that you want to keep it in a cool place so that it establishes root and then you'll have more hydrangeas the next one we're gonna do is our butterfly bush now butterfly bushes are even easier to propagate than the hydrangea okay the hydrangeas are kind of sensitive it's best to do this closer to the fall but we're right in the middle of summer and I just feel like playing with it so we're gonna have some fun with these and let's show you how we do the butterfly bush okay
