Finally, here's a new post from me, after a lapse of one year! So where have I been all this while? Hmm...

My dwarf hydrangea is a short bush that comes in a small plastic pot from a florist shop. Chanced upon it while walking past the shop as the blooms were bright and big. Took home a deep pink one and planted into a medium-sized pot ;)

No ID was given, since the space between leaves are small, I guessed it's kinda a dwarf variety. Anyway, the bush is compact in growth habit and short.

The bracts were green at first, just like the regular ones. 

Then it turned pink and later, deeper in colour. 

Interestingly, the bracts changed to green again with pink edges as they faded.

When the colour of the bracts began to fade, I cut the umbels of blooms off their stems and placed them onto a plate with some water for the blooms to dry up. They turned brown after a while.

As for the stem tip cuttings, I used them to make more plants! I just poke them into some soil and they sprouted out new shoots...

The new shoots grew out from the soil very slowly.

The shoot (in the pic below) is a few months old already, still really tiny in size.

With this hydrangea, it is really smallish in size. Good thing is that it requires only a small pot to flourish. Funnily, it has only been flourishing more leaves than blooms. 

That's the latest story from my little garden. Have fun multiplying plants in yours :)
