If you are an avid, flower-loving gardener, you should definitely adopt a hydrangea. This beautiful plant with an impressive bloom can sublimate your outdoors all summer long! Can you imagine it? It will be great to have all of these colors, pink, white, green, blue, and purple, for the next 4 months. Here’s how to care for hydrangeas. It’s as easy as child’s play!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to keep hydrangeas in the garden?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you may already know, hydrangeas, also known as Hydrangea<\/em>, are flowering shrubs that do not require special maintenance. But if you want to have an abundant flowering throughout the season (from June to September), you have to pamper them a little. May is the perfect time to do this, just before they bloom. Here are all the details you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hydrangea Maintenance: Soil Type<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"How<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The good thing is that hydrangeas can tolerate a wide range of soil types. However, they grow best in fertile, humus-rich soil. An interesting fact is that Hydrangea macrophylla can change color by adjusting the pH of the soil. Find out how in the following paragraphs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often should it be watered?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"How<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As the name suggests, the hydrangea loves water. So you have to keep them hydrated. This means that the soil should remain moist, but not wet. If you water it too much, you won’t see its flowers this summer. Sorry about that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make sure you’re giving the plant the optimal amount of water, dig your fingers into the soil a depth of an inch or two to see if it’s dry or wet. In general, it needs good watering once a day. The best time to do this is in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hydrangea Care: Light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hydrangeas can survive in or without direct sunlight. But keep in mind that too much shade can reduce flower production. Partial shade provided by tall deciduous trees is the best condition to stimulate their flowering, especially if they receive morning sun and partial shade comes with afternoon heat. This means that the hydrangea is better suited to east-facing gardens than west-facing gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your shrub is planted in a sunny spot, water it more often on hot summer days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperature and humidity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As already mentioned, hydrangeas prefer partial shade. If it is too hot or too cold, the plant will not be able to grow to its full potential. In this context, avoid planting it on the south or west side of your garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of humidity, the flowering shrub prefers moderate to high humidity. Dry climates can cause their leaves to turn brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
