As May and summer arrive, have those of you who love tending flowers and plants ever thought about growing this "Endless Summer"? Endless Summer is a fairly common flower in our lives, not only does it have a long bloom period, beautiful flower colors, and lovely flower shapes, it is also easy to care for. The bigleaf hydrangea "Endless Summer" is a variety of hydrangea, named "Endless Summer" because it can bloom beautiful flowers throughout the entire summer. Most importantly, it is not afraid of the sun all summer long, no fear of sun exposure at all. Below, let us take a look at which points need attention in the care of Endless Summer!

Light

Endless Summer is a short-day plant that likes warm, humid, and semi-shaded environments, and it also very much likes sunlight. It needs to be guaranteed 6 hours of growth under light each day, so that its flowers can bloom larger and the colors more brilliant. If there is no sufficient lighting condition, then keeping light exposure at 2-3 hours or more will do, otherwise insufficient light will seriously affect its number of blooms.

Fertilizing

For Endless Summer, fertilizing is a very important point, and the amount of fertilizer applied is a very important factor affecting whether "Endless Summer" blooms. Potted "Endless Summer" still needs additional liquid fertilizer during the growing season, but fertilizing too much is not advisable, otherwise it will cause more old leaves to appear and the number of flower buds will become fewer and fewer. When Endless Summer's growth slows down and it prepares to go dormant for overwintering, stop applying chemical fertilizer!

Watering

The amount of watering is also an important factor affecting whether Endless Summer blooms. Watering too much easily causes root rot and can also lead to situations such as many leaves but few flower buds and a delayed bloom period. Note that when temperatures are relatively high, it is very normal for the plant to wilt, and it is best not to water or to water less, so as to avoid the water scalding Endless Summer after high temperatures. Endless Summer hydrangea is afraid of both waterlogging and excessive drought.

Soil

Endless Summer has the characteristic of blooming flowers of different colors depending on the difference in soil pH. Grown in acidic soil, it will produce blue flower balls; grown in neutral soil, blue and pink flowers can be seen on the flower balls. If you want the plant to bloom in the flower color you need, you can use lime and aluminum sulfate to adjust the soil's pH!

Just do these 4 things well, and let your "Endless Summer" bloom endlessly, with beauty stretching through all four seasons!
