Do hydrangeas prefer large or small pots? Which pot is suitable?

The best pots for hydrangeas are ceramic pots, purple clay boxes, clay pots, etc. Since hydrangeas like to grow in a breathable environment, it is recommended to use ceramic pots and clay pots, both of which have certain air permeability and water permeability . Hydrangeas can grow better after repotting.

Hydrangea flower pot selection

The size of the pot is closely related to the growth of hydrangeas. If a small plant uses a large pot , it will be difficult to control watering, which will cause excessive water accumulation in the pot and cause root rot. If a large plant uses a small pot , the space limitation will make the roots have less room to expand, affecting the growth of the plant itself.

However, it is recommended to use a shallow pot for hydrangeas . Since hydrangeas cannot tolerate water, it is difficult to water them thoroughly and the amount of water is difficult to control if they are watered in a deep pot. Therefore, it is recommended to use a shallow pot.

Hydrangea repotting time

Hydrangea repotting is usually done in March and April each year. The temperature is basically stable at this time and the plant is in the growing season. Repotting at this time can reduce damage to it and also promote its resumption of growth as soon as possible.

How to repot hydrangea

When repotting hydrangea, you need to prune the roots. After removing the pot, carefully loosen the soil, trim off the rotten roots, dead roots, and old roots, and keep the strong root system. Reasonable root pruning can better absorb nutrients and water in the later stage. After pruning the roots, place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry properly, and then plant them in the soil.
