And if you know how to plant, hydrangea can bloom for several months in a row, which is really pleasing to the eye. So how on earth should we plant it? Let's take a look at it together.

First of all, we have a certain understanding of hydrangea from the aspect of habit, which is beneficial to our better cultivation. Generally speaking, hydrangea likes a warm, moist semi-cool environment, afraid of drought and waterlogging, and is not resistant to cold. In the choice of soil, it is best to choose soil with both fertility and certain drainage. As for acidity and basicity, it can be slightly acidic or slightly alkaline, which will not have much effect on the growth of hydrangea. Only in the flower color will change, acid soil flowers are blue, alkaline soil flowers are red. You can understand.

It has been mentioned above that hydrangea likes a wet environment, so it is best to keep the basin soil moist in watering. Basically, the soil can be watered if there are signs of dryness. However, watering should not be too much. You can judge whether the basin soil is short of water by inserting a wooden chopstick into the basin. Of course, we need to pay attention to the occurrence of waterlogging on rainy days, and remember not to let water accumulate in the basin, otherwise it is very easy to cause soil anoxia to cause rotten roots or even direct death of plants.

After understanding the problem of basin soil and watering, fertilization is the point that we need to pay attention to. In this respect, in order to make hydrangea bloom more full, a wide variety of flowers, then sufficient nutrients must be indispensable, so we can be fat in the growing period of hydrangea. In terms of frequency, topdressing can be done every half a month, and it is best to use rotten cake fertilizer diluted 8-1000 times as much as possible.

Hydrangea is a short-day plant, usually cultivated to avoid the hot sun, 60% to 70% shade is the most ideal. When the light is too strong in midsummer, proper shading can prolong the flowering period. As for temperature, the most suitable temperature for hydrangea growth should be 18-28 ℃. Even in the colder winter, the lowest temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃. So in the north, it is best to move hydrangeas indoors in winter.

Hydrangea flowers want to open well, blooming, pruning is also necessary. Before flowering, before the leaf flowers germinate, prune the hydrangea once, cut off the withered branches, grow only the branches, and trim the residual flowers in time after flowering, so as not to snatch the nutrition, so that the new buds will be more beautiful and full. And can grow more side branches, more luxuriant!
