What next for Hydrangea Cuttings?

10 years ago

My cuttings are now nearly 5 weeks old. Here is a photo of the 3 largest. Should they now be put outside in a shady spot and then into a cold frame over winter? Do I continue to mist them for the rest of the summer? If so, is once a day sufficient?

Thank you for answering my questions. Having come this far, with 9 out of 10 cuttings rooting at my first attempt, I don't want to lose them.

If they do not wilt without mist, I would put them out into the shade, just do not forget to keep watering, four inch pots dry out very fast. I like to get them into gallons as soon as they are well rooted in the four inch pots. Al

Thank you. I'll put them out and watch out for wilting. I didn't know plants could go straight from a small pot to such a big one.
