How often should hydrangeas be watered? The correct way to water them

How often should you water your hydrangea?

The frequency of watering hydrangeas varies in different seasons. Generally, they are watered every 2 days in spring and autumn, once a day in summer, and in winter, the climate is cold, so as long as there is some moisture in the soil, they can be watered basically every 3-4 days.

The correct way to water hydrangeas

The soil for hydrangea planting should be kept moist and not overwatered. Pay special attention to drainage during the rainy season to prevent root rot caused by waterlogging. In winter, the indoor temperature should be kept above 5 degrees to avoid frostbite. At this time, the potting soil needs to be kept dry and the frequency of watering should be reduced.

The correct way to water hydrangea is to find a basin and put it in the basin, then add water to the basin and let it slowly absorb the water. When you find that the surface of the soil becomes moist, it means that the water has been thoroughly poured. Then put it in a well-ventilated place.

Overwatering hydrangeas

If you water the hydrangea too much, water will accumulate in the soil, causing root rot and leaves to droop and become soft. If you water it too much during flowering, the flowers will droop and wilt, darken in color, or even fall off.

If you accidentally water the hydrangea too much, you need to loosen the soil immediately and move it to a place with good light and air circulation for maintenance, so that the moisture in the soil can evaporate as soon as possible, allowing it to resume growth faster.
