How to care for hydrangeas so that they bloom beautifully? Remember this
Hydrangeas are not particularly difficult to care for, but it is worth remembering a few rules that will help them grow healthily and bloom profusely. First of all, grow them in a partially shaded or even completely shaded position with a slightly acidic soil. For pink flowers it should be 5-6.5 pH, and if you want blue flowers, then 5 pH. In addition, do not forget to water them regularly, otherwise they will quickly waste away. The bush does not like drought, so the soil should be constantly slightly moist. After the flowering period, before winter, it is worth cutting off its faded inflorescences and weak shoots. Thanks to this, it will grow even more impressive in the next season.
