Just wondering if you know any places where I can buy hydrangea plants/ cuttings, esp in KL?

Thanks! Your plants are lovely.. :)

Just my two cents worth of advice:
1) Flower buds will emerge only at the terminal tip of matured stems. Thus, you simply have to allow the new shoots to mature before you can expect any blooms.
2) Just snip off the withered blooms but allow the new leaf stalks to flourish as more blooms may emerge at the tips. When all have completed their flowering, cut the main stem as far back as you’d want them off. Scrutinize our photos above and you can observe that sometimes the Hydrangea blooms appear as a mophead (one large cluster), yet others would have a few clusters on short stalks like what you may be experiencing on your plant.
3) Just imagine how you’d want your hydrangea shrub to appear. If you want your shrub to be bushy and branch out from the lower end, then just prune the stems that have finished flowering as low as possible (probably 6-10 inches off the ground). Each cut section will then sprout 2-3 new shoots that eventually mature to produce flowers.

Regarding, propagating new plants from cut stems, our usual method is :
a) Cut each stem into 4-6 inches lengths, making sure that each length has at least one to two leaf node/joint. Remove the basal leaves and stick it into moist soil with the node just touching the surface and firm it. Place the pot at an indirect sunlit location and keep it moist. That’s it…simple and easy!

So happy to have found your site on ‘how to plant hydrangeas’ in the tropical weather like KL. I am also living in KL, and have been searching the internet for advice. I also recently purchased a pink mophead from Brinchang and am determine to learn how to care for it. It is for my mom who loves this plant.

I originally put it under a tree for 2 weeks but read that it needs sunlight to produce more flowers, so i shifted it out of the shade. Flowers became more pink and bigger after that. Now, I noticed a lot of new leaves shoots but no flower buds. I read only the top will produce flowers. I wonder how to turn those tops into buds?

Secondly, the blooms that existed when i purchased them is wilting soon. I plan to deadhead them. I notice new leaves stalks/ leaves coming out from below the blooms, about 3-4 inches. Do i deadhead blooms above the new leaves or below it ?

Thirdly, can you teach me how to propagate the stalks i cut out? What do you mean to cut them below desired height [......it is recommended to deadhead (remove the spent flower head) by cutting back the stem much lower to your desired height to promote bushiness with new stem growth and hence more blooms. You can then use the stem cutting which root easily to propagate new plants.]

Thank you very much. Looking forward for your reply.
