How to grow hydrangea into an old treeThe planting method of old hydrangea stumps is not complicated. Just trim the roots and branches of the old stump and choose a spacious site. It is best to dig a hole slightly larger than the base of the old stump on the garden soil, then plant it in and compact it with soil. The planting place should preferably be semi-shaded. After planting, water it thoroughly. Cultivation method of old hydrangea pile1. Shade maintenance : The old hydrangea stump should be placed in a cool, well-ventilated place for maintenance, so that the old stump can adapt to the pot as soon as possible. It is not resistant to exposure to strong light, so it is best to maintain it in a place where it can be exposed to scattered light. Generally, newly planted hydrangeas need to be shaded by more than 60% to grow well. 2. Proper pruning : Hydrangea old stumps need to be pruned when planted. The roots can be pruned down and some aging roots can be cut off. The branches and leaves of the old stumps can also be pruned, and some diseased branches, weak branches, overcrowded branches, and overgrown branches can be cut off. This will help the plant grow more side buds. 3. Reasonable watering : Hydrangea has relatively large leaves, so its demand for water will be relatively high. After the old stump is planted, its soil must be kept moist. The soil should not be too dry, and water accumulation is not allowed, as this is not conducive to the growth of the old stump. It is best to use small amounts of water and water frequently. 4. Reasonable pruning : When planting old hydrangea stumps, you can prune off the old roots and rotten roots, and also cut off the diseased branches, weak branches, overcrowded branches, and overgrown branches. This will help the plant grow more side buds. 5. Sprouting and growing leaves : If the newly bought hydrangea stump is well adapted to the pot, new leaves will grow on the tips of the branches. The time it takes to sprout and grow leaves is relatively short, so just take good care of it. Precautions for caring for old hydrangea stumpsWhen caring for old hydrangea stumps, do not rush to fertilize. Make sure to wait until it has adapted to the pot and started to grow before fertilizing. Pay attention to whether new leaves have grown from the top of the branches, or whether new buds have sprouted and grown. If so, it has adapted to the pot and you can apply some compound fertilizer or nitrogen fertilizer to promote the growth of branches and leaves and prepare for flowering next year. If the newly purchased old hydrangea stump does not have flower buds, you can first grow the branches and leaves and don't need to rush to bloom. If the newly purchased old hydrangea stump has flower buds, decide whether to keep it based on the condition of the plant. If the plant is in poor condition and the branches and leaves are weak, it is recommended to cut them off, which will be more conducive to the sprouting and growth of new buds.
