How do you prune hydrangea?
+6
When is the right time to prune back my Hydrangea? How much do you prune and is it in the fall or early spring. I also have a hydrangea in the front of my house that does not grow. It’s a third of what this one is an was planted at the same time. What can be done to help it grow?

Do not prune in fall or you will cut off the buds for next years blooms. Also have you fertilized?

Also hydrangeas are a beautiful plant to have in your garden or pot.
I would cut the hydrangeas mid September this is in the Irish weather so it would still be warm. And use the cuttings I would put them in water in a bucket,as long as it's a good stem, the next day you can put the cuttings straight down in the soil, or keep them in the bucket. Change the water every 2-3 days.
If you can try this out as a experiment get 4 pots fill the pots with different soil.
1.Like for example soil from the ground and you mix it with rusty nails
2.Mix soil and cold ash from a fire will turn the hydrangeas a different colour. Wait to find out.
And what I say to the plants this garden belongs to God and I am only the gardener, and I thank god for giving me green fingers. Amen
