It is a perfect plant to decorate our house due to the color of its flowers in spring.
It is a perfect plant to decorate our house due to the color of its flowers in spring.
They only flower at this time and the rest of the year we should take care of it and prepare it for the next spring flowering. The hydrangeas that sell for indoor, are "semi-artificial" hydrangeas, therefore, once finished the flowering should not be kept at home, but prune it leaving 3 buds per branch and place it on the outside-shade, in acidic soil (of heather, of chestnut, etc.).
The time the hydrangea is at home is advised:
- It is a plant that needs a lot of light so we should place it as close as possible to the windows.
- Spray the leaves with soft water.
- Water almost daily in hot weather without flooding, only keeping the soil moist.
- We must be careful to remove the weeds and wilted leaves that can grow and prune constantly.
