Summer Hydrangea | The Cut and Hammer Method

Keep hydrangea clippings fresh for more than 4 weeks. My magical method in 3 steps.

Step 1

On the first day of your fresh hydrangea clippings, cut each stem bottom at an angle, about 1-2 inches.

Step 2

With a hammer, squash the bottom of the stem at your cut. I usually hit the stem 2-3 times.

Step 3

Fill your vase with faucet or hose water and put your stems in the vase. These should stay fresh for a few weeks or more.
