Reproduction is a simple procedure that will allow you to enjoy a beautiful garden next season. There are several methods on how to enlarge the collection of flowers in the garden, but the easiest way to reproduce hydrangea is to use fruit seedlings.
Hortense reproduction
Hydrangeas grow well from top cuttings. This is also the easiest way to multiply the flowers that decorate gardens and terraces. Seedlings are best prepared in June or July, at the latest in August. We use this year’s vertices of shoots with 4 leaves (without flowers). We cut a branch about 15 centimeters long. We remove two lower leaves, we also cut the top. Then immerse the ends of the seedlings in a humble. Then put a few branches into a shallow pot filled with soil for reproduction of plants, water abundantly. Cover the pots with perforated foil. In this way, we will protect the plants from drying out. Arrange the finished cuttings in a bright and warm room. They should root within 2-3 weeks. At this time, they need to be provided with a constantly moist ground and air – if they wither or dry, they will be thrown away. Pay the rooted cuttings to pots where they will remain until spring. After frosts, they can be put in the garden.
Vaccination of hydrangea on a trunk
Hydrangea vaccinated on a trunk can be the most beautiful decoration of the garden. However, such a procedure is not the easiest one. Vaccination of hydrangea consists in combining a shoots of a bush – a pad with a pad, which is another strong rush on a growing tree. The cut must be sharp and precise. The condition for the success of this procedure is the most accurate matching of the cut and pads and the large surface of the adhesion of wood, pulp and bark to each other. The larger the contact area, the greater the chance of success. After combining the discharge with the pad, the vaccination place must be tied up with a ribbon and protected against water loss. This can be done by lubricating the wound with wax. You just have to remember that the wax does not get between vaccinated tissues. Such a procedure is carried out in spring. Freshly vaccinated trees should not be exposed to long -lasting frosts.
