Repot your hydrangea in spring or winter.
Choose a slightly larger container with good drainage.
Use a mix of compost and a hydrangea-specific fertilizer as the growing medium.
Cover the roots and stems with soil and place the container in a shaded area for a few days before gradually exposing it to more sunlight.
Tips for Light, Water, Soil, and Temperature
Hydrangeas prefer full sun and partial shade. In cooler climates, more sun is beneficial, while in warmer climates, partial shade works best.
Keep the soil moist but not overly wet. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as it can cause the leaves to wilt.
Hydrangeas prefer slightly acidic soil but can tolerate alkaline soils as long as they are well-drained and rich in organic matter.
They can be grown in hardiness zones 3 through 8 and thrive in average humidity. Shade is recommended in warmer climates.
Fertilize your hydrangea once in early spring and once after the flowers fade in autumn. Adding compost in summer is also beneficial for the tree’s growth.
Growing a hydrangea tree is a rewarding process that adds beauty and elegance to any garden. By following these tips, you’ll be on your way to growing a stunning tree that will bring joy for years to come!
