I am interested in knowing the best way to 'share' your hydrangea - preferable Oak Leaf, but really any kind. Is rooting compound necessary or helpful? I have seen a technique where you bury cuttings until they root. I would like to know if this is the best way and does it matter which variety of hydrangea you are trying to propagate. I know I can google this, but I was curious to hear responses of tried and true methods! I live in the panhandle of Florida.

Thank you!
