What is the best way to get hydrangeas to sprout from a cutting?

Question:

Answers:
The best way to get new cuttings(plants) from hydrangeas is a system called 'layering'. Bend one of the stems down to the soil and 'peg' it to the ground with a little piece of bent wire, and cover about 4-5 inches of the stem with more dirt. Keep it moist. and in a few weeks it will sprout new roots. Cut it off from the mother plant, and transplant your new hydrangea! Sometimes, you can cut off a stem and place it in a glass,(any other container) with a thick, wet, slurry of mud,and it will root that way, but it`s not as successful as the first way.

Using sand or vermiculite works very well with a rooting hormone.
