How to grow hydrangea

1. Breeding conditions

Hydrangea is a plant that likes to grow in a warm environment. It grows fastest when the external temperature is between 18 and 28 degrees. In winter, it cannot be placed in an environment below 5 degrees. Placing it in an environment of about 20 degrees can encourage it to bloom early. After it blooms, the ambient temperature should be maintained at around 16 degrees, which can extend its flowering period.

2. Daily management

Daily management is also very important during the cultivation process of hydrangea. After it sprouts in spring, it must be watered in time to ensure that its leaves do not wither. It will enter the flowering period in June and July, which has high requirements for fertilizer and water. It should be fertilized once every half a month, and it should be shaded as necessary. If it is exposed to sunlight for a long time, it will affect its flowering period.

3. Timely pruning

During the cultivation process, hydrangeas should be pruned in time, especially after they bloom. The flower stems should be cut off in time to encourage the hydrangea to grow new branches, maintain its beautiful plant shape, and allow it to bloom as soon as possible next time. In addition, when cultivating hydrangeas, new potting soil and flower pots should be replaced every year, which should be done around March every year. When repotting, the old and rotten roots should be removed.

How to propagate hydrangeas by cutting

Hydrangea cuttings can be carried out in May and June every year. The survival rate is particularly high. When it is time to cut, collect the semi-lignified branches of the year, remove them and cut them into ten to fifteen centimeters of cuttings, leaving two to three leaves on the top, and then insert them into the seedbed made of river sand. Water them with enough water and provide necessary shade. They will take root and sprout after one month, and can be transplanted to the nursery or flowerpots in the spring of the second year.
