- This One Trick Got My Hydrangea Cuttings Rooting Like Crazy! Bottom Heat to the Rescue
Well, this one took awhile. I started propagating these hydrangea around the middle of last August. For awhile they weren't rooting too well but I hung in there and finally got the roots I was looking for.
Bottom heat is definitely a game changer in the world of plant propagation and if you don't have a heat mat yet I highly recommend getting a good one just in case you need it for those hard to root varieties or semi-hardwood cuttings. In fact, we even used this heating mat last winter for hardwood cuttings of figs.

Here is a playlist of all my hydrangea videos: ua-cam.com/play/PLpmpssr45yfMno99-8s9VLc3JM-krT6da.html I hope the information is helpful for you!
Simplicity sewing is very much a lot different to me when you ca a lot in my arm arm but the day is far too much as a lot to get on to you to look after you you have to go go
?
@@LUKAB4checo what have you been smoking?.😬
I know you can't change the color of white hydrangeas.
However can you change the color of a Vanilla strawberry hydrangea to make the pink in the flower go deeper pink? (I know the white part of it won't change color)..
Thank you for this playlist.
My grandparents were all excellent at gardening and when I was little, I brought a hydrangea flower to my maternal grandmother that my paternal grandfather had cut for me from their plant. She ended up propagating it and that plant is still growing outside their house. All of my grandparents have passed away now except my maternal grandfather and I was just saying to my husband that I'd really like to get a cutting from that hydrangea and try to grow it at our house... And then I found your video, so I'm pretty sure that's my sign.
Sounds like a sign if I ever heard of one, lol. Good luck with your cuttings, Leslie!
GOOD LUCK! You should start a new tradition and pass on cuttings to all your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren for them to continue 😀

Its good do gardening its increase in property price, amazing to do flower bushes
@@impamize9696 I carried tulips to my first home that my great Grama sent w my Grama when SHE got married.....MY mother grew them in my. Childhood yard

Edwin Thompson thanks for good wishes we all need them 👍good luck with your new venture gardening.yes you are absolutely right saying families should be closer and just be there when someone needs them.nice to talk to you . Be happy and live the life for others you’ll feel so good, not that I need to tell you but just being me 😊
This video is what educational gardening videos should be! Thank you for actually TEACHING us how to propogate!
I love this comment, Lisa! I get so many people tell me that I blabber on about nothing when I'm actually trying to teach what I'm doing and cover all the questions that might arise. These videos are for people like you that are interested in the details. Thanks for your support!
@@MikeKincaid79 Mike- don’t let anyone complain that you Blabber! Every word is precious! I’ve just found your channel, and you’ve bitten me with planting fever!! Thanks SO much! Blessings! 🌿🍁🎋🌱🌼🍃💕🪴🌿🎋🍃🌸💕
Ur great. No fancy talk. No slow singing talk. To the point. Great job mike
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, Juanita!
That's why I love him! Him and Mike's back yard nursery have helped a lot!
Great work
My mum had on big whites and another blue
Because I was to scared to touch them so I asked someone expert to come and prune them
Wrong idea
What he did I don’t now the result is they never grow up like before it’s a lots of leaves but one or two but little flower
We have different weather down here from you guys so summer is about November till February/ March
What can I do to them because I can see someone trying to grow leaves now
It’s heart break to see them now from what they used to be even the neighbours asking what’s happening to those beautiful blues can I have a idea what to do?
Thanks
Juanita Campbell...“Singing Talk”.... I love it... crazy how so many women fake talk on their videos... smh
I just bought them Hydrangea & corn silk but I dont know how to drink them.😪
My parents lived across street from a railroad track and my mother always had the most beautiful blue hydrangeas. One day the train engineer came by my parents house and asked if he could have some cuttings, because they reminded him of his mother’s. Having lost my parents, I find myself desperately trying to collect cuttings of these beautiful hydrangeas without destroying the plants. Thank you so much! This was just what I was looking for!
So glad you found the channel! I have many videos on rooting hydrangeas. The absolute best time is to collect your cuttings from softwood growth in the early summer. Good luck and have fun!!!
This man is a wholesome well spoken knowledgable tutor. As a gardener to gardener he can teach you if you give it the time, plant propogation is an art. A lot of good content, I actually have a hydrangea that is older than all of my siblings, the oldest being 40, that is in need of care and upkeep.I tried last year to get some cuttings, most of them failed. I plan to keep trying, but the mother plant isn't long for the world. I'm pretty sure that it hit the life span sad to say, anyway good luck out there, stay safe.
Thanks for the kind words, Sam. You can definitely get some clones off that hydrangea. Best time is in the early summer so give it another go this summer if you can.
Have you tried using the rooting hormone powder? It really works!
Try honey for the rooting hormone.
Thank you Mike for pulling out the plant to show the root growth to demonstrate the rootings for us and teaching us how to make a new plant. You have a cute personality....I can say that because I am old enough to be your grandmother. :0)
My grandparents are THE reason why I have a nursery!! 🌱 They took me into the garden with them from before I could even walk!
GOD BLESS OUR PARENTS and GRANDPARENTS ❤️🌹❤️
I love that he went from your grandmother, to great grandmother, to great great grandmother lol. My great granddaddy grow beautiful Roses and Hydrangeas.
It's April 2020 and I've got nothing to do at home because of lock down, and I came here because I want to propagate our hydrangea and be productive. Stay safe!
Awesome
Same!
How did it work for you?

Hydrangea always reminds me of my late grandmother. She used to have a few of them and I remember how happy she was when they first bloomed. 35 years later, I have now just bought my very own first hydrangea... 🎉🥰
Following in grandma’s footsteps
Amazing! I followed all your steps last September. I got 12 plants out of 15 cutting this spring. 😄 Thank you so much!
Wonderful! Enjoy planting them all, Vivien!
When my grandfather past late last year before his house was sold i dug up a small pear tree i helped him plant when i was 7. Im now 44 and it sits pride of place in my garden. Propagating is a great way to preserve those memories. Great video and explanation Mike
Hi. Mike, I am a grand mother of two granddaughters, after I go if they follow as you said, flowers will smile, you are thoughtful ,respectful and good Grand son of your Grands. I pay respect you. Thanks 🙏. I watching from Canada 🇨🇦.Zz.
Thanks for the very kind words, they mean a lot. My Dad raised my brother and I to be very respectful of our elders (or we got the business end of a cutting board, haha). I just hope my girls grow up the same, guess I'm in control of that. Thanks for watching and I'm sure your 2 granddaughters are wonderful little girls.
@@MikeKincaid79 you are the sweetest thing!!
@@jewelarender2451 I agree
I’m a 50+ hr a week administrator who finds herself 2 years from retirement (when I’m 70) without a hobby. I’m seriously considering becoming a “plant lady” ... thanks for making the endeavor look so interesting.
Yes! You definitely need to become a plant lady. It will help you relax and forget about the stress you've been living under for the past ? years.
How to grow houseplants
Go for it. So easy, even more rewarding! Plants make wonderful gifts.
I found gardening helped me decompress after a stressful career. It made me appreciate the world through my garden. Buy a few comprehensive books on plants and shrubs and begin to study. Best wishes
Mimi2RoRe my wife and I retired last year. Gardening is a fantastic way to spend your time. It’s the best way to relax.
I planted a hydrangea when my daughter started kindergarten. It didn't bloom until she graduated from highschool!!!. It had blooms everywhere. They are my favorite!!
Lol, it was waiting for her to leave, huh.
Gardeners are just the best people. Caretakers of the earth. They really seem to give a damn.
Thanks for tooting our horn, Jill! We certainly are the best people.
We do 😀🌿

I'm in South/East Michigan and Hydrangeas are so fast to root! I take cuttings right around June 15th. Stick them in sand and I swear I was potting up the rooted cuttings in 3 to 4 weeks! Now I have about 200 plants and I've been selling them like crazy! Huge demand!
Great! They sure do root much faster in the early Summer! Glad you're making a little profit selling them on the side.
southern Mich here would love to buy some
I am in Chicagoland and I was wondering the best time to do this. Thanks for mentioning that. Will I be able to put these in ground late fall or keep in apots in a protected area of my yard? I don't have a greenhouse. Thanks.
What you said lol. I am in Rockford. Thinking maybe after planting we can put that plastic container over them to keep the soil warm a little longer. I would take it off by Dec-Jan to keep them from getting too warm in the deep freeze.
David Underwood did you only put them in sand and did you also put them in a container with a lid?
4 years ago I bought a home that had minimal decorative plants. I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos. Since then I have been propagating plants and have hundreds of plants that were propagated either from cuttings or division. Thanks again. 30141.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing, I love to hear these stories.
It’s May 2020, and I am gardening to keep sane. I have some gorgeous hydrangeas I want to try this on. Thank you for showing how to do this, Mike. Great channel, new sub here.
Thanks, Diane! Hydrangeas are so much fun to propagate. Get an early start this spring and you can have them growing in the ground by the end of summer.
How did it go?
Can you use sand for this
@@MikeKincaid79 Mike… years ago I bought a 1904 house in Massachusetts - it had a few struggling hydrangeas that were beyond help! Until now, I’ve had that old picture in my mind- of rather ugly old hydrangeas!
BUT - you’ve totally reversed that awful memory, now I’m primed to grow Beautiful Hydrangeas! Do they do well where I live now- in Southern Arizona? (Zone 9)
I appreciate any advice!! I love love LOVE your videos!🌸🌱🪷🌿🎋🌺🤣🌼🍃😂🎋💗
I love you too, and that you care so much for plants of all kinds! ( please let your wife know- I’m 85, and not flirting!)
LOL!
Hi Mike. Your great great grandma would be so proud of you. 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Thank you for this video Mike! After 19 days, I'm 6 for 6 for my hydrangea cuttings. That's 100% success rate! I'm so excited to propagate more.
If gardening were a sport, you'd make a great gardening commentator!
It's a sport now!
Mike Kincaid I would like to get an advice about rose farming in The Philippines 🇵🇭, after the corona , I plan to move to there and start and hopefully through the farming I also can help the people to have a job. Please do you have any tips or advice I really would appreciate it. I’m Holland but it seems like nobody have the willingness to help and I even wanna pay for the course . I have the time to learn wish can be in touch . Thank you 🙏 .

First video of yours that I’ve seen. The gardening bug hit me in my early 20’s. Kiddos are teens now, and I’m addicted once again 😉 Thanks for such a thorough, easy-to-understand video. My love of hydrangeas began exactly as you described. Although my favorite hydrangea is a Blue Big Daddy, my grandparents had a white snowball bush that the entire family remembers fondly. Before passing, my granddaddy tried to root some cuttings. Later, my aunt tried to as well. Both attempts were unsuccessful. One of these days, I may drive by their old place and ask for a few cuttings if the bush is still standing. Again, loved your video!! Keep them coming!!
Great great grandma will be proud!
Please Mikey DON'T STOP TALKING ALOT LOL it's given us so much info about everything! And the best part is your being yourself & doing what you love & we love you for that! Keep up the awesome work and please don't stop talking about stuff cuz your funny as all hell! Much love from Northern Wisconsin!
1st time here, Mike. I love your passion for the beloved hydrangea. You have much knowledge for us who want to learn. Thanks for your time & talent. I'll be watching...
So glad you found the channel, Lorene! I am super passionate about plants and everything about them. You're in the right place!
@@MikeKincaid79; Right on, I too am very passionate about my plants, I remind my cat, these are my other babies, as she doesn't quite understand why I pay attention to them, and not her all the time. Fun video, thanks.
This is why I'm watching your videos. My mom just died and my family sent a gorgeous arrangement with roses and hydrangea. My mom would have loved them and it makes me think of her. I would really like to root them and keep them around forever.
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom, Erica. She was a blessed woman to have someone love her so much.
@@MikeKincaid79 thank you. She was very loved by many many people, and I hope she knew that.
I really hope I am successful rooting even a few of these, and can keep them for years to come.
Love your sense of humor among all this great information that I can easily translate into action on my new property! Thanks, MIke !
Thanks QuintinJohn, Glad you're a part of the family here.
This flower is very easy to grow. Just cut a branch remove the big leaves and keep the small leaves on the top, put it in soil make sure at least one leave node is under ground, water it once a day no hormone needed. It will grow into another plant just like the original plant. Must grow them in shade area with lots of natural light (no direct sun light).
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing. I don't have a bin but I put it under my canopy outside on our deck. This is my 1st time trying this. So fingers crossed this works.
Can I do the same for my English Lavender?
Can I do the same for my Kwanzan Japanese Cherry Blossom tree?
I'm wondering when to plant after they root. Do I leave them indoors? If so where? It's a warm October here right now
I used your method and propagated 2 and both developed roots. I directly planted them on the ground. However on winter I thought it was cold so tried to bring one inside and it died. The other one that was left outside has so many new leaves now. Thank you. Hydrangeas are my absolute favorite pants
I actually did get to dig up my grandmother's hydrangea this winter 😂 but now all my aunts and uncles have requested rooted cuttings 😳 so I'm happy to have found this!
You can so do this! Get that thing growing vigorously in the spring and then take a ton of softwood cuttings. I've got several other videos about this if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/YopCKTjT5ug/v-deo.html | ua-cam.com/video/DC2u-diXoyM/v-deo.html
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks so much! I will definitely watch those. Can't believe you put out this much info for free! I'm sure it helps a lot of people.
just came across u. u are like the STEVE IRWIN (CROCODILE HUNTER) OF PLANTS :)
Haha, thanks for the compliment. I used to love watching him when I was a teenager.
And Steve would place the tub on the south side .....
What an awesome comparison.
Mike Kincaid, your enthusiasm is infectious and very welcome. Thank you for this tutorial. I appreciate this lesson very much, as I am thinking of acquiring a cutting from my great-aunt's old farmhouse this Spring.

One year on... how did your cuttings come out?
I don't think he cares. The first time he put it in the soil it had no roots nevermind some frail ones damaged
LOL!!! "Right on time Johnny!" I'm cracking up here, that was good timing though :-)
LOL!
Thank you for such a clear presentation! My granddaughter wants me to teach her how to root plants, so I will definitely show her your video before we go out and try to do the same thing! You make it easy for me to teach her!
Great information & I love the time lapses... I for one learn better with a visual & you my friend done an awesome job & putting it together! Love all your videos & get excited to see you posted a new one.. Stay warm...
I'm a visual person as well. Glad the videos are helping out. As it gets colder I get more excited because I know Spring is coming!
I'm so relieved I could finally preserve my great great grand mother's hydrangea! 😆 haha! Thanks for this video. Really helpful.

@@MikeKincaid79 Hello, I have a hydrangea plant that's healthy and comes out very nicely every year. But I don't get any flowers from it. Can you please help me?
Thank you for this excellent video.I am going to take some cuttings now and as you said, to preserve them for posterity.
It also looks like there are two leaves above starting to grow, along with roots. Your knowledge is so helpful. Thank you.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching.
Extremely detailed and important info about rooting. Hydrangeas ARE the best, magnificent reliable stars of the garden! Mike, you anticipate all issues in this process and your enthusiasm is purely delightful! (The rooster is bonus laughter; hilarious!) Excellent educational video, love it. Happy rooting!
Thanks so much for the nice review! They really are a beautiful plant.

I took my grandma's Peony bushes LOL I love that I'm not the only one. Everyone here is awesome! Gardeners will save the World!
Yes!
Thank you for sharing, great video and very useful.
I have mastered roses, but have been very hit and miss with hydrangeas. I will try this method. Thanks.
Thanks for this Mike👍I’m surely going to have tons of hydrangeas 😀😂you’re so passionate of what you do and you’re so contagious 👍you’re actually like our Steve Irwin of a plant’s 👍❤️stay safeMike and family👍

Love those chicken 🐔
clocking, they want to be heard too. 🐔❤️
I will follow exactly what you did. Thank you 😊
Good luck and have fun!
I absolutely love hydrangeas but I am a novice gardener and had no idea it was so easy to propagate them. What an entertaining and clever young man you are. I am in a new house with a big garden and I am looking forward to learning how to be a gardener. Thank you for the info. Go well!
Glad you enjoyed it! Have fun in your new garden, Anita.
I have been looking for a propagation video, this is the best one ever, thank you!!!
Thank you SO much for the "play by play" action! Totally understand and appreciate how you pulled the cuttings out to show us. I have grandma's (mother in law's) Hydrangeas from the Gulf Coast of MS.. where Katrina took EVERYTHING. but her hydrangeas have been creeping back through the muck after 13 years (on a vacant lot!) I plan to go down to MS this May and hopefully see if they are big enough to cut (they usually came up May and early June as further south than I am) and transport to Virginia. Your video is inspirational as I thought I would not be able to preserve them for my kids. We'll see what happens. What is great about your video is that you show how to "adjust" as the rooting process develops. Kinda like adjusting to raising kids!~ HA! Thanks so much again.
You can do it Mary! I love the story, thanks for sharing.
Brother all that I did was take a cutting and stuck in soil with no Hormones and it grew beautifully.
I absolutely agree with you that's what my grandmother did , so I'm doing the same with no hormones and I have beautiful hydrangeas throughout my yard !
@@anabell1959 you are lucky. My Hydrangeas dont want to grow, I have one bush which is 15 years old and still tiny, about the height of a brick standing on the small side. It used to have about 5 flowers every December but since last year none. Once I planted 30 new plants and after one year they were all dead. So I obviously am either doing something wrong or it may be the soil
Go for Gold - Soil and Sun matter! What type of hydrangea is it? They love morning sunlight, water but not “wet feet”. Do you trim the hydrangea? Some bloom on new wood/branches and some bloom on dead wood/branches. If you trim the type that blooms on old wood you may be cutting the area that blooms. I am in western lower Michigan and we had a frost late spring which killed my flower buds. I used esposma holly tone organic fertilizer late spring and I now have more blooms than any other year!
Best wishes! Here is more info:
www.provenwinners.com/sites/provenwinners.com/files/pdf/hydrangeas_demystified_2015.pdf
I used to think the same that cuttings dont need hormones. But I have learned that growth hormones is meant to increase the chances or percentage of root formation. Try make and experiment with few batch of cuttings and you will see the difference.
Go for Gold have you tested your soil ? They prefer acidic soil and don’t thrive at all in alkaline soil.
Excellent video. Very informative! I have a Lady in Red Hydrangea that I successfully rooted without cutting anything off the plant. I took one of the limbs growing close to the ground and put a brick/rock close to the node, so that it was touching the ground. Added some potting soil on top of the node. About 6 weeks later, maybe less. It had rooted itself. Definitely going to try this. Will let you know what happens. Thank You for posting this video.
That's a great way to multiply your plants in the garden. It's called layering. You can also do serpentine layering and get multiple plants from the same branch!
@@MikeKincaid79 Never heard of serpentine layering. Don't want to assume.
How long do you leave your cutting in the clear container before you actually plant it in the ground?
Love the video...thanks for taking the time.
so glad I saw this. I took a piece of hydrangea that my lawn guy clipped with a weed wacker and stuck it in water. Wasn't sure what would happen but it's growing roots in the water. I'll try it this way from now on. Very helpful...thanks.
Lol, Grandma kept aging as the video went on... 🤣🤣. Thanks for the info!
lol
Thank you, love the Rooster!
Thanks for showing us how to propagate Hydrangea.... :)
You're welcome, Cleo! We'll have to start a little earlier this year since people seem to be having a tough time getting them to root in August.

@Mike do u ever trade cutting id love to have that one I have a strawberry vanilla one I'm willing to trade
16:35 when my Gardening heart starts to break lol. I know you are doing this to show the roots (educational)
I was wondering why this video was so long just to propagate a flower. I was worried this would be another video where the person likes to hear themselves talk. But I am super impressed at how thorough you are unlike most of these types of videos you actually know what your doing and why your doing it. I’m very impressed.
Well thanks for giving me a chance to prove myself to you. I've been growing plants my whole life and been heavily into propagation for about 16 years now. I'm obsessed with it, have read and watched just about everything I could get my hands on about the subject, and have a ton of trial and error. Many more videos on the channel about propagation, and with a lot of different plants. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for those great tips!! I love hydrangeas and now I'm going to propagate them!!!
Have fun with it, Ana!
great video, Mike. You add to life,and that is so important these days. Keep it up!!
Thanks Mike I’ve used your videos for propagation of hydrangeas and I have an acreage that needed division from a rowdy neighbor I’ve been 3 years accomplishing this but the hydrangeas and a few others have worked to shield us from the noise
That's great to hear. Glad you could put the info to good practical use.
I 🖤 ur enthusiasm and love for what u do!! My kids think I am so Silly for how EXCITED I GET watching my plants Grow and get HUGE BUDS AND ROOTS ! 😬
You just keep being silly, Stephanie!
I've propagated heaps of plants but have never had much luck with hydrangeas. Lost all the cuttings from my mother-in-laws former home, which she will be very sad to know when I tell her. Thanks for the confidence and inspiration to try again. Wish me luck.
You've got this Margo! Try starting earlier in the season than I did, like in July. You'll probably get better results.
I'm fortunate to have an aquaculture system in a greenhouse. The tank feeds two hydro beds with fish water twice a day. I can take an eight inch cutting and strip all but the top leaves off and stick it into the clay pellets in the hydro bed and in two months I have a plant large enough to require at least a two gallon pot. I have yet to lose a cutting. Actually the hydro beds are pretty efficient at quickly rooting most cuttings. Tomatoes take almost no time to grow from cuttings, figs, raspberries, new zealand spinach, even peppers and many ornamental cuttings.
Sounds awesome! I love all forms of plant propagation and growing. I'm really interested in the aquaculture but haven't set anything up yet. Seems like a pretty efficient way to go and if you ever run out of food....well.....you've always got fish, haha.
Thank you for showing the roots! It really helps those like me who would simply wonder....
You're welcome! No wondering here, lol.
I name all of my hydrangeas, roses and roses of Sharon’s names of all of mine and my husbands grandparents! It makes it more personal
I love it!
I’m super excited to start propagating my Hydrangea now!! Yay!!
Love your love for what you do my friend!!

I'm super excited that you're excited!!! Not sure if you saw it yet but I made a video about propagating hydrangea in the spring as softwood cuttings. They root even faster that way!

Well I got 2 hydrangeas in my backyard that are abou 41 years old and really good for cuttings they were from my great great grandmothers funeral and I also have a 3 sisters rose that is older than that but it only blooms every 3 years. It also has made many plants by way of propagation.
Love to hear that Nick!
Enjoyed your enthusiasm...
Thank you very much. Very informative. My family and friends keep asking me to have cuttings from my hydrangeas but now I actually know how to propagate them.
Thanks for the information I'm I'm going to take a lot of cutting this year I have a hydrangea my sister bought for my mother both my sister and my mother have passed away and I'm going to make lots of cuttings now thanks

Hi Mike it is a great video and educational. To show the growing roots without damaging them you can dip the bottom in water and then put it back. At the same time the roots get watered. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the tip, George. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for your quick response
I love how you personify your plants. They get mad at you. They get angry. Great video
Didn't realize it but you're right, haha. I just love these plants.
Thanks for sharing ☀️🏆
Thanks for watching!
I live Oregon. Can I do cuttings of hydrangea in May. My Mom past Away and I want to get cuttings now because the house will sell soon
Thank you for just explaining just what to do
Thank you for just explaining just what to do
Last july I followed your instructions and all eight of my cuttings took!!! They grew into beautiful oak leaf hydrangeas I have enjoyed giving to my family and friends thank you love your videos I’m in texas and it gets very hot but they are doung very well
Awesome! Keep that mulch and water on them.
I saw your video at the beginning of this year so I tried with 4 cuttings and only 1 made it, but that one is doing great. Now, I'm coming back again to your video to refresh my mind and do it again. Thanks for this great video.
You'll get even better results in the spring! Are you in the Northern or Southern hemisphere?
mrswachita I just got one good strong cutting too!
ThanksMike 'you. Really do a good job explaining your work
Thanks Nellie!
I'd love to see an update on how your rooted hydrangeas are doing this year!
P Allen Smith videos have been my go to for tips for years, however I accidentally came across yours last week and I wanted to say that you have a new subscriber in me.
I have a lot of naturalizing to do, but I’m a single mom with three children, so buying a bunch of well developed plants is not always top on my list. Finding your channel is such a blessing. Now, that you are teaching me how to take cuttings, I can invest in less plants with huge rewards.
Thank you so much and I hope you don’t mind me mentioning Mr. Allen. He’s about as good as they come and in my opinion, you’re right up there with the best of the best.
I don't mind at all and am honored that you'd put me on the same list! So glad you found the channel. Propagating your own plants and saving money is exactly what I'm all about. Have fun this spring!
I didn't know it's that easy! Thank you so much! 👍
Love how detailed you are and your passion for gardening really comes thru
Thanks Caroline!
Thanks Mike! Well done✌🏼
You are so awesome! I’m still learning at 74 yo and your videos have taught me a lot. Btw-you’re a great, clear speaking and step by step instructions. I appreciate you so much!
Hey thanks, Sandy! I appreciate you being here. Glad you enjoy the videos!
I love hydrangeas. I love your educational enthusiasm! And thoroughness.
Thanks again for a great informative video, it has taken me forever to find a really detailed instruction with RESULTS. I have seen so many "this is all you have to do" videos, but no proof that they ever worked. i know its not that complicated but I do believe there is something more to it than just doing it. I like to know what is supposed to be happening, or could be happening at what point. Now to work on my Patience.....
That's the secret weapon most people miss and took me several years to figure out! Glad the video helped out.
There's nothing more to do than just doing it. I watched Mike's original hydrangea propagation video a couple of times and gave it a shot. It worked! :)
*I stick to this vdo after hearing the word"grandma" my grand mom looked after me n her garden,veg fields,cows,chicks,..to me she was a SUPER WOMAN,taking care of every family members,guests,cooking,doing 5 times nama's prayers in time,I still wonder how she managed her time soo wisely,I will grow hydrangea in memory of my grandma,thank you Mike*
Love the story! Thanks for sharing.
@@MikeKincaid79 wow soo sweet,lots of love from India 💟
"Jeez chickens" Hilarious. Awesome video, thank you. I will be trying this out for my hydrangeas.
Have fun and good luck. I have several other hydrangea videos with cuttings taken in the spring as well. You may want to check them out too!
I love the excitement that mike has . It makes me know I’m not crazy because I feel the same when a project of mine comes together.
We're still crazy but there are plenty of us out there.
Love these videos, was pretty depressed as I'm 49 and can't work like I used to due to illness, I now are having a great time experiencing how to grow and look after plants. I now have a hobby that I enjoy immensely and watching videos like yours are a great source of information so thanks for taking the time to show me how to garden properly 🙂🌷🍁
We're all still learning, including me. Thanks so much for the nice comment and I'm glad you've found a fun hobby to keep you going.
Love this guy!!! Thanks for this! I sent it to my dear friend who LOVES hydrangeas!!! For you Diana!!!♥️♥️🥰
Awesome! Thank you!
❤❤❤
When i take cuttings off a Hydrangea i keep the top leaves on then cut them in half. I mix the compost with sharp sand as it helps with rooting and rooting powder.
Put them in a 3" TO 4 pot and cover with a clear plastic pot and just hope they root.
