Tara said: \u201cLate summer is the perfect time to propagate your hydrangea and here\u2019s how.\u201d<\/p>\n
To begin, Tara explained that gardeners should \u201ccut three to five inches right below a leaf node\u201d in order to get the stem cutting.<\/p>\n
Tara said: \u201cRemove all the leaves on the stem [but] leave the two on the very top. Cut the larger leaves on top in half.\u201d Cutting the leaves is done to help the new plant save more energy when growing.<\/p>\n
She then showed a jar of Garden Safe Take Root, a growing hormone for plants. Tara explained: \u201cUsing a rooting hormone, dip the stems in water and into the powder, shaking off the excess\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tara said: \u201cPut your cuttings into potted soil and create a greenhouse using a clear tote with a lid.<\/p>\n \u201cKeep them moist and in indirect sun and within four to six weeks you\u2019ll have rooted cuttings. Then, just plant in the ground before the first frost.\u201d<\/p>\n Tara said she personally kept her hydrangea box inside her home in the sunroom, but it can also be placed outside as long as it is out of direct sunlight.<\/p>\n In Tara\u2019s comment section, many fellow gardeners praised her for her easy hydrangea tutorial.<\/p>\n One user wrote: \u201cThanks for the great tip! Never thought of using a storage tub with a lid as a mini greenhouse.\u201d<\/p>\n Another person commented: \u201cI followed this exactly and have lots of new growth! Thank you!\u201d<\/p>\n Someone else said: \u201cNeeded this today! Thank you for the knowledge drop!\u201d<\/p>\n
