How to care for hydrangea

There is hardly a gardener who has not admired the wonderful "caps" of hydrangea, which can be of a variety of colors - pink, blue, burgundy, white. It is important to know how to care for hydrangea in order to decorate your home with this delightful plant.
In fact, despite the beautiful appearance of this plant, little can be said about how to care for hydrangea, since it is not too demanding to care for.

Regular watering is important for hydrangeas, since this plant is considered a water loaf. In summer, the wide leaves of hydrangea evaporate a lot of moisture, besides, flowering takes a lot of energy from the plant, so it is very important to constantly water the plants, and it is advisable to add fertilizers to the water.

If it is not possible to water the plant regularly in the summer, then, as an option, you can add Aquagel to the soil, which will be wonderful to keep water near the plant and gradually nourish the roots. It is also very useful to spray hydrangea in the evening and in the morning.

When planting a hydrangea in the ground, it is necessary to choose shaded areas for it so that the sun's rays do not fall on the plant. This is especially important for young plants, because they love water so much, and the sun will burn out moisture to the maximum.

For the plant to bloom profusely and beautifully, it is very important to feed the hydrangea. It is recommended to do this before flowering itself 2-3 times a month, as well as during flowering - once a month. For feeding, it is worth using organic and mineral fertilizers, and during flowering it is best to feed with a phosphorus-containing fertilizer.

It is also recommended to prune old, frozen, dried branches. It is important that the hydrangea is not too thick or overgrown, otherwise it may not bloom.
