Do you like hydrangeas? Yatou has one sitting on her office desk, but what a pity! Due to limited conditions, it did not bloom this year, but Yatou is still full of hope! So, she asked an expert at growing hydrangeas, let's work hard together with Yatou!

These few pictures should be what many people are hoping for!

How should hydrangeas be cared for:


1. Partial shade with diffused light

It seems the one in Yatou's office meets this requirement!

The expert says: if you want hydrangeas to grow well, you must avoid scorching sun. If placed on a balcony, you can move it a little farther away. After scorching sun, hydrangea leaves easily turn yellow. Over time, the whole plant will slowly wither!

You might as well look at outdoor hydrangeas; they are basically all planted on the shady side!


2. Water to keep moist

Hydrangeas quite like water, especially when blooming, when sufficient moisture must be ensured. You can replenish water in time according to indoor humidity; generally watering 1-2 times a week is enough. In addition, Yatou needs to remind everyone that if there is air conditioning indoors, keep it as far away from the air outlet as possible, and do not let the cold air blow it off!

3. Cleverly use methods to adjust color

Do you think hydrangeas only have a single color? Do you think what flower shops sell are all differences in varieties? Not at all! Certain methods can be used.

Ordinary hydrangeas are pink. When flower buds grow, watering with some acidic solution can make the flowers turn blue; sprinkling a layer of plant ash on the soil surface will make the flowers turn red.


4. Prune in time

Those whose plants have bloomed must prune in time. When the flowers are about to fade, promptly cut off the withered flower branches!
