The best time is March and April, when the plant has no flowers yet, but the treatment can also be performed after the flowering period, e.g. at the end of summer or even in October. Before transplanting, we remove all the shoots at a height of 15 cm and then dig around to remove the lump of earth along with the roots. We put it in a hole, which should be twice as large as the previous one, so that the hydrangea can root freely.
ADVICE! We only repot hydrangeas if there are no frosts outside, otherwise the plant will die.
