What is the difference between hydrangea and pompom?

Hydrangea is a popular hydroponic plant with beautiful flowers and high ornamental value. But at the same time, the big pompom is loved by everyone for its smaller size and more refreshing style. So what are the differences between hydrangea and big pompom?

1. The difference between bulbs

The big pompom itself is a type of hydrangea, with many colors and very beautiful. The big pompom is smaller than the hydrangea. Both hydrangea and the big pompom are bulbous flower plants, prefer warm planting relief, and are relatively shade-tolerant. The bulbs of hydrangea are larger, so their roots are also thicker, so hydrangea is more suitable for hydroponics, while the big pompom is usually suitable for soil cultivation. Hydroponics may cause root rot because the roots of the bulbs are thinner.

2. Differences in planting

Hydrangeas and pompoms need to be disinfected before planting, and the outer skin should be removed to leave the clean bulbs for planting. When planting, hydrangeas are usually planted one or two per pot of soil, while pompoms are suitable for multiple dense plantings, so that the flowers are more beautiful.

3. Differences in breeding

Hydrangeas and pompoms have no special requirements for fertilizer application, but they can be top-dressed when they sprout in early spring to ensure the healthy growth of flowers and leaves.
