I dunno if it is easy to root cuttings.. On shadow exposition, the trunk produces aerial roots but i'm not sure if it is really roots... Maybe it is anchor filaments ? Dunno...

Here is a pic of last year flower stalk (the black seeds don't fall down to the ground, they stay fixed on the flower) ->

Some snails are hiding under the pot ->

I recently found a gnarly little golden-penny hydrangea at my local nursery that was abandoned.
Its growing healthy yellow leaves and some little flowers.
Any advice for 1. Keeping it alive 2. Developing it towards life in a pot

if there is one tree, that i'm sure to keep alive "forever" (as long as i keep it), it is this tree, because it has no known parasites or diseases.. i don't need to treat this tree. Hydrangea loves water (leaves hang down in case of lack of water) so water very frequently, use draining substrate (akadama), use a good amount of fertilizer (i use osmocote and organic fertilizer in pellets).
you should open a separate thread to show pics of your tree and its evolution

here are pics of the repotting this spring ->
the tree before repotting (i want to raise the trunk, i think the trunk is leaning too much, like a slumped tree)
the rootball before ->
the rootball after ->
in the pot, i use a little stone to help raise the trunk ->
the tree after repotting, the trunk has been raised a little, but maybe not enough..
i use sphagnum moss to keep the rootball wet longer (it is very usefull & effective) ->

It will last a few days.

I recieved, from Japan, the future pot for this tree. A wonderfull pot, a work of art from Aiba Koyo, with a lot of patina 
Virtual : the pot is very good, IMO, a little too large, but the tree will continue to grow so it is good ->
