Can't locate a thread...

HELP!! I saw and read a thread earlier today about how to root a hydrangea cutting... sort filed in the back of my mind and thought I'd come home and print it out later... got home and found someone hit my hydrangea with a lawn mower (BOO HOO, BOO HOO) and cut off several branches with nice growing new leaves!!!! (Isn;t there a law against that?????) So, I immedaitely put the ones I could recover in water and am now furiously looking for that thread..... did the search thing and everything...can someone link me to it or explain what I can do with these cuttings??? They seem to be recovering already in the water....

Jeanne - I don't know where the thread is but hydrangeas are very easy to propagate. I have known people just stick the cutting in the soil and they root. But last July I took cuttings from non-flowering stems about 6" long and pulled off the bottom leaves leaving about 4 leaves in total. Then trim the cutting about an inch below a node (where the leaves join) and pot up singly in pots. Keep them moist in a shady part of the garden. You can use a rooting powder if you wish. My cuttings from last year are now about 2-3 feet tall and producing blooms.

hey lou,why are my scented turning yellow????????
All i can do is look out window and see yellow leaves,u think they miss me,I have them under shade cloth???
sorry about your germs jeanne, them ol lawn mowers need to be outlawed.lol everyone should have a billy goat!!

Thank you , thank you, and thank you, again Louisa! How many times already have you "saved" me and my flowers??? You are truly a treasure here! I'll let you know how they do and let me know if you'd like any. I posted a pic about a week ago of it- it's a beautiful blue one..... guess I'm learning fast about my little flowers!!!
