Any suggestions, I have mine in rain water, changing the water every other day. It's been 2 weeks, I have new leaves, the old ones died, but no sign of roots yet. The cutting is in my kitchen window that faces onto a covered porch, no direct sunlight. Is the something I should add to the water? Should I have let the dry to for a scab like geranium cuttings?

some things root fast in water, and others take longer.

Thank you, My grandmother always rooted her hydrangea in water, I usually do the same thing you do and I will move my cutting over to the rooting hormone/light soil method today. I keep 1/2 gallon canning jars to use as covers for my other cuttings to maintain humidity.

Kathryn I always use rooting hormone when i take cuttings. I then stick the cuttings in a light seed starting mix, spray with water and cover to retain humidity. Root growth will depend on temperature too. Sometimes it take weeks. If you have new leaves that is a good sign, it's not dead. I've never let geranium cuttings scab over, though you could. You could add a liquid hormone to the water, and some light would be beneficial. Hope this helps.
