How to cut hydrangeas in summer

Hydrangea is tenacious, not afraid of hot summer and cold winter. It is well cultivated and has many flowers. Hydrangea is easy to cut, and the survival rate of cutting is very high, almost as easy as rose.

What should I do if the leaves of cuttage hydrangea wither in summer? The cuttage hydrangea leaves withered and dried up because of the high temperature and dry weather. If it is cutting now, the leaves will dry easily, which is normal. After cutting for a day or two, the leaves on the branches will be soft and drooping. But the leaves faded a little a few days ago, and roots grew behind them. Soon, the leaves will come back to life, turn green and become full. If the hydrangea leaves to be cut are not soft, you can also choose to cut them in spring or autumn when the temperature is slightly lower, which is also easy to survive. As long as the temperature does not exceed 30 degrees, it can be cut at any time.

If you want to have a high survival rate, you should pay attention to these three points.

First, the choice of cuttings

_ Cuttings are preferably semi-lignified branches or branchlets. Branches that are too old are difficult to survive, and it is best to have buds. In addition, cut off the residual flowers on the dead branches. The part below the residual flower can be cut to about ten centimeters long, leaving two or three leaves, which can be cut directly and is very easy to survive.

Second, post-cutting management.

When the cutting depth is one third, don't cut too shallow or too deep. Don't bask in the sun after cutting. Put it in a cool place without direct light and ventilate it. Wait until the soil in the basin is dry before watering it. You can cut with any soil as long as it is loose.

Third, shading after cutting.

Don't pull out branches at will, don't think about whether it has taken root, can't control it, and want to pull it open and have a look. No, as long as the drooping leaves gradually stand upright and the leaves regain their vitality, it will prove that they have begun to take root and will gradually grow into green leaves.

We can't leave too many leaves on the cuttings, just cut off half and leave half. Too many leaves affect the growth and rooting after cutting. Generally, the leaves wilt a few days ago, but after a period of time, they will gradually harden in a week or two, which proves that the roots have begun to grow.

Raise hydrangea at ordinary times

Attention should be paid to giving adequate light, and potted hydrangeas should not be placed in places with poor indoor ventilation and light. After flowering, the residual flowers should be trimmed in time, but not too bald. It is different from Chinese rose. Even if the branches of Chinese rose flowers are cut off, new buds will sprout quickly. If the branches of hydrangea are cut off, it will affect its bud opening and the next flowering. Fertilize more. The more fertile the soil, the more beautiful the flowers. Take advantage of the high temperature, quickly cut hydrangea, master 3 skills, take root in 2 weeks, and change flowers!
