Victoria3's Profile

I took hydrangea cutting a couple weeks ago and they are doing great! I tried a couple years ago and failed but this time I made the worlds easiest mini greenhouse... a clear plastic pin. I took 3 hydrangea cuttings and put them in a solo cup of vermiculite with drainage holes in the bottom. I have only had to add water once in "the greenhouse" and they are looking healthy, sprouting new leafs and have definitely started to root.
This year I am also starting coleus and impatien cuttings - I have read that you just bring them in as a houseplant and take more cuttings later in the winter so you will be ready for spring.
I have also had great luck asking on my local freecycle board looking for cuttings of plants or even whole plants that can be split (hostas, pachysandra, coneflower, daylilies, lavender and my hydrangea)
