Ok so I just propagated my hydrangeas and put them in a clear tote and covered them. We just had our first cold day here in Alabama. Do I keep them inside the house until they root and then transfer to the ground or leave them inside until spring? Just not sure when to plant them since they will surely be dormant in a few months.

I have been propagating hydrangeas for a few years, but I find they all form one long stem and no lower leaves or stems come up from the soil. I cut these long stems just the other day to see if they will start forming new growth from the bottom. Is this something I should always do or should I leave them alone and let them do their thing?

In reply to S. Smith. Hi, I would not plant these out until next spring.

I tried propagating a couple variety of hydrangeas in August. Dipped in root hormone and in potting mix. 7/15 are doing well. It has been 8 weeks. Good growth but still in 4 inch or 6 inch containers. All are in a clear large tote with lid. Just moved to Idaho zone 6. Do I fertilize and replant to bigger now? Do I plant outside out of tote? Windy at times in our area. Help, don’t want to lose the growth I have with the plants.

How do I know when to transplant my peace lily? Its growing great in the organial pot. I do see some roots coming out the bottom of pot. Its blooming and leaves are beautiful. I have transplanted violets before and then they die.

In reply to Mike. It means being a single parent who has to work at night to write these posts for you. I hope that you found value in it. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
