However, it could also take more or less time so don’t feel discouraged if 3 weeks goes by and it hasn’t rooted yet.

The environment plays a role in how quickly hydrangea cuttings will root.

It’s important to check on them periodically to insure they look healthy and give a little tug to see if they’ve rooted yet.
