It could be said that the hydrangea is one of the most beautiful flowering shrubs to have in your home; you don’t need to have a garden or an outdoor space to dedicate to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With its bright colors, the hydrangea is a plant that lends itself very well to cultivation in pots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To grow a beautiful hydrangea , start by choosing the variety you like best, then determine the type of pot and soil that best suits its needs. Certain types of hydrangeas require a large pot. It’s advisable to use clay or gravel at the bottom, but not a saucer, as this can cause excessive waterlogging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you buy a hydrangea, the first thing you should think about is finding a nice place where it can receive light but also shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, like many other plants, hydrangeas don’t like direct sunlight, but they thrive in bright light. A nice shady spot is ideal! Hydrangeas grow well in acidic soil, meaning soil with a pH between 4.5 and 6.5. Their beautiful colors often depend on the soil’s acidity: those that tend toward pink or maroon prefer a high pH of 6 or even 7, while those that tend toward blue prefer a very acidic pH, between 4 and 5. Depending on the color of your hydrangea, try improving and changing the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In winter it won’t give you much trouble, but in summer you’ll need to be careful with the heat, as this plant doesn’t like high temperatures. If you decide to keep the plant indoors, make sure to keep it away from any heat source even in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need a large pot with a diameter of at least 40 cm and place expanded clay at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then you can take the plant out of its pot. You’ll notice it has thick roots. Trim the roots before putting the plant in its new pot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This step is very important; otherwise, the plant will have difficulty extending its roots and will quickly perish. Do not plant it too deep, but a few centimeters above the soil (to prevent the roots from rotting when watering).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first watering should be thorough, then you’ll need to adjust it according to the season. In summer, to combat the heat, consider watering once a day. However, be careful not to water the leaves to avoid fungal diseases that could affect your plants. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Regarding fertilization, it is recommended to use a liquid fertilizer, which should be added to the irrigation water at least once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cultivation, on the other hand, is done by cuttings and is quite simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cuttings can be taken from herbaceous plants with fresh green growth (not in bloom), between June and August, or they can be taken during the dormant period, which takes place between October and December<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this case, make a semi-woody cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In summer, do the following: cut the bud at a height of about 30 cm, then cut the bud again once you have identified the first node (where the two leaves at the bottom grow); remove these two leaves as well and gather all the others together with one hand so you can cut off the tops of the remaining leaves. At this stage, your sprout should look something like this and is ready to be placed in a glass with 2-3 cm of water:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s a tip to help your cutting take root better:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use half an effervescent aspirin tablet ! Don’t forget to change the water every two days (replacing the aspirin as well) for at least 40 days. After a few months, you’ll notice some small roots developing; then it’s time to prepare a pot. Always remember that cuttings produce a plant identical to the parent plant.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It could be said that the hydrangea is one of the most beautiful flowering shrubs to have in your home; you don’t need to have a garden or an outdoor […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19007,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-and-tricks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19006"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19006\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19008,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19006\/revisions\/19008"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/19007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.garden-tricks.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The first knot to cut when you want to make a hydrangea cut.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
