Is it possible to successfully grow Hydrangea indoors?
Comments (23)roseyd - 'Roseum' is a cultivar of Schizophragma hydrangeoides which is similar to Hydrangea anomola subsp. petiolaris but is not a true Hydrangea. It is commonly, but incorrectly, called pink hydrangea vine. This, like the Hydrangea anomola subsp. petiolaris I mentioned before, is a totally hardy deciduous vine. It will not grow successfully indoors. It climbs by aerial rootlets, not by twining or tendrils. A 6 inch pot is far too small for this thing. In the wild it grows up trees and can reach 30 feet or more and it will also grow on walls. I suggest you research it under its scientific name where you will find plenty of information about looking after it. As I suggested before you should harden it off and get it outside asap. If you decide to buy any more vines, or any plant for that matter, I would highly recommend looking them up by their scientific names before purchase as I believe your lack of success is not down to lack of love and attention but to not being familiar enough with their needs to give the right care. Or go onto the relevant GW forum for the plant you are contemplating and ask for some tips from others' experience. Good luck with your Schizophragma! pirate_girl, as you can see from the above there is a true climbing Hydrangea, as well as the Schizophragma.

Comments (19)Come Tuesday, it will be three weeks since it was transplanted into the DWC and put under the LED. Since then, it has added two full leaves and another one is starting to unwrap today. I've never tried a Dwarf Cavendish before but this plant could have 40 leaves and not be over 4' tall - there is practically no space between the nodes. That is probably due to a combo of the LED and using flowering/fruiting nuits rather than one meant to aid vegetative growth (not as much nitrogen). Mike...See MoreHAVE: 2 Crabapples, 1 Jap.

Comments (3)Cute babies!! I would do just as you are planning for the time being. These little guys only have their first set of true leaves - they've got a way to go before they are ready to get potted up. And I would make sure I had some high quality bark-based potting mix ready when the time comes - something like Al's gritty mix (see Container Gardening forum for details). And make sure the current mix doesn't stay too wet. Just keep evenly moist. At this stage of their existence it's difficult to say what their mature coloring will be. The greens will probably stay green, the reds may or may not stay red, and the bicolored ones could go either way. "I found a few babies under my Bloodgood that look different from the parent tree." That's the fun of growing JM's from seed - you never know what you're going to get :-)...See Moregardningrandma
