When is the best time to transplant hydrangeas
This article summarizes the best time to transplant hydrangeas and the precautions for hydrangea transplantation in the field of green plants and flowers, followed by a comprehensive introduction.
“Water propagation” of hydrangeas, do not rush to transplant after rooting, learn a “small technique” to improve survival rate.
From the name of hydrangeas, we can see that the effect of their flowering is large flower balls one after another. Moreover, there are many varieties of hydrangeas with a variety of colors, and they are relatively easy to care for. Especially this year, the price of hydrangeas has dropped significantly, and most flower enthusiasts will purchase a few plants.
Hydrangea cutting is also very simple, with two common methods: water propagation and soil propagation. With water propagation, after roots grow in the water, there is one thing to note during transplantation.
When using water propagation, remember not to rush to transplant after the roots just start to grow. When is the best time to transplant? When the roots grow to about two centimeters long and are more abundant, this is the most reliable and easiest time for survival. If only a few roots have grown and they are easily broken by the soil during transplantation, it will be more difficult for them to root again. After transplanting into the soil, it may easily cause wound infection, leading to the whole branch rotting, resulting in the failure of cutting and transplantation, and ultimately causing the plant to die completely.
Wait until the roots of the hydrangeas propagated in water have grown sufficiently, then transplant them into new potting soil, which must be loose and well-draining. The method of transplantation is also simple. When transplanting, it is important to use dry soil. Why? First, we prepare a pot, add a layer of soil at the bottom, then place the living branches of the hydrangea cuttings on top of the soil, and slowly add soil on top. Dry soil is loose and does not easily break the roots when added slowly. Do not press down on the soil after adding a layer, then we water the plant thoroughly around the edges of the pot, allowing the soil to naturally bind with the roots.

If the soil settles a bit after watering, slowly add a little more dry soil, then water it again. This operation ensures that the roots of your transplanted hydrangea will not be damaged, and undamaged roots mean a higher chance of survival and direct growth. Of course, when transplanting, the soil must be properly sterilized. When watering, you can add some mycostop to prevent fungi or bacteria in the soil from causing infections and leading to root rot.
Transplanting with soil propagation is very simple, but with water propagation, after the roots have grown, it is important to pay attention to these points to ensure the survival rate of the cuttings and rapid growth.
