- Warm and Moist Environment: Place the seed trays or pots in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight. Ideal temperatures for germinating Oakleaf hydrangea seeds range from 70°F to 75°F (21°C to 24°C). To maintain consistent moisture levels, cover the trays or pots with a clear plastic dome or plastic wrap.
- Monitor and Water: Check the soil moisture regularly and water as needed to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely, as this can hinder germination. Mist the surface lightly with water whenever it begins to dry out.
- Germination: With proper care and conditions, Oakleaf hydrangea seeds typically germinate within 7 to 14 days. Keep an eye on the trays or pots for signs of sprouting, such as tiny green shoots emerging from the soil.
- Transplanting: Once the Oakleaf hydrangea seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, they can be transplanted into larger pots or directly into the garden. Choose a location with dappled or partial shade and well-draining soil for optimal growth
