Things to note when repotting hydrangeas

Hydrangeas usually need to be repotted once every 1-2 years. The best time to repot is in May or June. Hydrangeas in the growing period can easily resume growth after repotting.

1. When repotting hydrangeas, it is best to bring some soil from the original pot. This will help the plant adapt to the new potting soil and avoid damaging the roots of the hydrangea when changing the soil.

2. After the hydrangea is repotted, it needs to be moved to a ventilated and cool place. Wait for 5-8 days to adapt to the new environment before moving it to a sunny place. During this period, water it appropriately to keep the soil moist, but do not fertilize.

Key points for repotting hydrangeas

1. Root pruning and drying

After removing the hydrangea from the soil, wash the roots with clean water. If any rotten or decayed roots are found, cut them off completely. Disinfect the roots and then dry them in the sun.

2. Watering

After hydrangeas are repotted and transplanted, they need to be sprayed with water appropriately to keep the soil moist. During this period, the roots of hydrangeas have not adapted to the new soil and grow slowly, so they do not need light and fertilizer.

3. Soil for repotting

Hydrangea growth requires soil with good air permeability and drainage properties, as well as certain nutrients. It can be planted directly with ready-made nutrient soil. For better air permeability, you can add some perlite or cinder to the nutrient soil.
