Plant some hydrangeas at home, and they will be so beautiful that people from miles around will come to admire them!

Plant a hydrangea by your front door, and it really can be so beautiful that it charms the whole countryside, but I have noticed that relatively few gardeners in our country grow hydrangeas. So flower lovers who like hydrangeas can join me in getting to know hydrangeas a little better.

Hydrangea is native to the area of Sichuan, China and Japan, and was called "Eight Immortals flower" in ancient times, as recorded in the Qing dynasty book "Flower Mirror": "The Eight Immortals flower is of the hydrangea kind. Because it has eight stamens on one base, clustered into one blossom, it is named Eight Immortals." When the ancients observed the flowers, they counted the decorative flowers around the inflorescence and gave them more auspicious and elegant names.

There are many varieties of hydrangea, and the more famous ones are the following.

Little Lime

Invincibelle

Edelweiss

In fact, these are also the 4 most famous colors in the hydrangea world. Speaking of color, everyone surely knows that the color of the same hydrangea plant can be adjusted. In fact, it is originally about adjusting the pH of the soil: acidic soil makes the flowers blue, and alkaline soil makes the flowers red, so adjust it yourself according to the color you like.

Hydrangea likes a warm, humid, semi-shaded environment. The soil is best as loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam. One big trait of hydrangea is that it fears sun and heat and likes shade, with 60%-70% shading being ideal.

In fact, the hydrangeas generally bought outside, although their price is lower than things like English roses, are still on the high side, so here is a good piece of news for beginners: hydrangeas can be propagated by cuttings. If you like, you can take many cuttings, and the success rate is still pretty good.

Finally, let us all enjoy these extremely beautiful hydrangeas together.

And finally, finally, we still wish that everyone can achieve what they desire in their hearts,

and live the small courtyard life of birds announcing spring, cicadas singing in summer, falling leaves in autumn, and blowing snow in winter,

and we will not part until we meet again next issue.
