How to grow hydrangea

1. Lighting

To grow hydrangeas, you need to create a semi-shady environment for them, preferably with large trees or other shelters, and ensure 3 to 6 hours of light a day. The light exposure time should not be too long and it is not suitable to be cultivated in a full shade environment.

2. Soil

The potting soil should be loose, fertile, and have strong water and fertilizer retention capabilities. It can be mixed with garden soil, leaf mold, and river sand in proportion.

3. Watering

Hydrangea has a relatively large water storage capacity and also evaporates a lot, so the soil in the pot must be kept moist, otherwise it will wilt.

4. Temperature

The suitable growth temperature for hydrangea is between 15 and 25 degrees. Its growth will stop if the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, and its growth will be inhibited if the temperature is higher than 35 degrees.

5. Disease prevention and control

Hydrangeas are prone to problems such as leaf spots and yellowing flowers during maintenance. They can be sprayed with pesticides, applied with acidified fertilizers or regulators to promote normal growth.
