How to grow hydrangea

1. Choose the right soil

When growing hydrangeas, you must choose suitable soil. They like loose, fertile, well-drained sandy soil. The color of their flowers is obviously affected by the pH value of the soil. If they are grown in acidic soil, their flowers are mostly blue. If they are grown in alkaline soil, their flowers are mostly red. People can adjust the color of the flowers according to their preferences.

2. Water appropriately

Hydrangea is a plant with large leaves and lush branches and leaves. It has a relatively large demand for water during its growth period, especially in spring and summer every year, which is its peak growth season. At this time, it is necessary to water it in time and keep the soil in the pot moist, so as to promote the rapid growth of hydrangea. After entering the hot summer, in addition to watering it in time, you should also spray water on its leaves to increase the air humidity, which is very beneficial for maintaining the growth of hydrangea and promoting its flowering.

3. Temperature regulation

When growing hydrangeas, the indoor temperature must also be adjusted. This plant prefers a warm and humid environment. It grows fastest in an environment of 18 to 28 degrees, but its flower bud differentiation needs to be carried out at 5 to 7 degrees. If the ambient temperature can be adjusted to around 16 degrees after it blooms, its flowering period can be effectively extended.

Breeding precautions

When growing hydrangeas, you must pay attention to the amount of watering. Water thoroughly and thoroughly. Do not allow water to accumulate in the flowerpot, otherwise it will make its roots difficult to breathe and rot. In addition, watering should not be done at noon, but in the morning or evening. The water temperature is too low at noon, and directly putting it into the flowerpot will damage its roots. In addition, when growing hydrangeas, you must pay attention to pruning. After its flowering period, you must promptly cut off the dead flowers and branches.
