How do I get a hydrangea to root from a cutting?

I tried the rooting mix at the store and it didn't work! Help

How do I get a hydrangea to root from a cutting?
What I do is bend a fresh-growth (flexible) stalk down in the soil and mound soil on top of it, allowing the growth end of the stalk to stick out. After a while (I give it a couple months or even a winter and spring), it will root and you can dig it up and replant it. I have done this successfully with no failures.
Reply:I am trying it right now. I just cut and planted mine yesterday. I am using growth hormone powder on soft tip cutting. Stuck it in sand %26amp; misting it. We will see what happens. Good luck!
