I received a nice amount of hydgrangea cuttings from a lovely bush at church. I want to root them and plant them in my yard but I'm not sure how. I've rooted soft stem plants (morning glorys) in water and then planted them but never woody stem plants.
Right now some are in water and a couple of stems I planted in pots in potting soil (which is what my neighbor suggested I do) but they don't look to good right now. The leaves are wilting even though they are moist.
What should I do? Do I have to cut the flowers off? Should I cut them just below the green nodule and then plant? Help! Thanks.
