How To Grow Hydrangeas In Containers

Hydrangeas are beautiful and stunning flowers that produce abundance of different color blooms. The colors range from blue, vibrant pink, lavender to frosty white making them perfect for all flower lovers. Sometimes a single hydrangea can have multiple colors on one plant! Most people don’t want the hassle or space needed to grow traditional plants in their homes but there’s no need with these easy-to-grow beauties because they do well even when grown in small containers like pots.

WHY GROW IN A CONTAINER?

Growing plants in a container is the best option for those with limited space, as you can move it to provide shelter from harsh weather. Remember that exposure to cold may be the cause of death for your plant!

WHEN TO PLANT HYDRANGEAS?

When the last spring frost passes, then you are finally able to plant your hydrangeas in a container. As these stunning flowers grow inside of their pot-home, they will bloom earlier than on ground soil because less cold air is present and there’s more heat from direct sunlight. But only water them before it turns into scorching hot weather!

BEST VARIETIES OF HYDRANGEAS

How can a life be colorful without flowers? Here are some common varieties which you can grow in your garden. Choose one and fill the colors of flowers in your life with it!

  • HYDRANGEA macrophylla ‘VEITCHII’

This variety of roses is very delicate to grow. They are large with white flowers that turn pink over time.

  • HYDRANGEA ARBORESCENS ‘ANNABELLE’

This variety of tulip has huge domed white and pink flowers that fade to lime green. These large, fragrant blooms are perfect for a centerpiece or arrangements in your home.

  • HYDRANGEA PANICULATA ‘PHANTOM’

The large flowerheads of this variety start with white or green that eventually turns into pink, and sometimes a fiery red.

  • HYDRANGEA macrophylla ‘JOGASAKI’

Add a splash of color to any garden with these gorgeous flowers in an assortment of colors! The florets range from the palest pink and icy blue, which will last for months.

  • HYDRANGEA SERRATA BLUEBIRD

These stunning flowers change the look of your garden with their deep pink or sky blue florets. The clusters of tiny, light-blue blossoms are perfect for adding a splash to any flowerbed!

HOW TO GROW HYDRANGEAS FROM CUTTINGS?

The hydrangea plant is a favorite for gardeners all around the world. While you can buy young plants from your local nursery, it’s just as easy to propagate them by taking cuttings and planting those in containers of desired size. It takes only about three months before they are ready to be transplanted into larger pots or among other flowers while still blooming beautifully!

If you’re interested in saving time when tending an indoor hydrangea container garden, take some cutting tips with this article on propagating these beautiful flowering bushes through propagation (or cloning) methods that require little work but great care; there will always come a day where replanting needs to happen so why not make things easier now?

  • I don’t know what the perfect branch is, but I would say that a younger one with new growth lighter than old and not flowering will work best. The stem should also be flexible for better maneuverability in your arrangement.
  • Make sure to bury the tip of the branch up to 4-5 inches deep in your container. The 3 or so pairs of leaves will need some soil too, and this is where you’ll plant them!
  • You don’t need the lowest pair of leaves. Trim them and wait for new roots to grow before you cut anymore! You can also save these low-hanging branches and plant them in soil or water so that they sprout even without a partner branch on which to rest their feet.
  • If you have a lot of leaves that are too big for the bag, consider cutting them in half.

The next step is to dust the bottom part of your stem in rooting hormone and an anti-fungal powder. This small step will help in encouraging roots, while discouraging rotting. Now you need a pot for your cuttings that are ready to plant! It should be 8cm across with drainage holes on the bottom; well drained soil is key when it comes to healthy plants after all! The hole at the bottom of pot drains away all soil. Fill a high-quality moistened potting mix in the small container and plant low branches afterward.

  • If you’re using a pot with a lid, cover the top of the soil surface loosely with plastic wrap before enclosing. This helps maintain moisture and protects from wind and harsh weather changes during this delicate stage in plant development. If possible, keep your potted plants by an area that receives direct sunlight but is protected from humidity or strong winds for healthy growth to develop!
  • Select dwarf varieties of plants for container growing. Ensure that the cuttings get six to eight hours of light a day in order to grow tall and strong! Regularly check your plant, which will need watering if you notice dry soil.
