How To Care Hydrangea Plant. Hydrangeas may be just about everywhere but these pretty flowers take a little bit of care to grow into the big blooms you know and love. Its best to water in the morning to prepare hydrangeas for the the heat of the day and to avoid disease.
A north- or east-facing site where temperatures remain somewhat constant is a better choice than a spot on the south and west side of your property which will heat up in the winter sun and can cause buds to open prematurely and be vulnerable to. The climbing hydrangea doesnt do well if its sitting in highly saturated soil and good drainage can help avoid this. Fertilize once a year with a balanced slow-release fertilizer or fertilize twice a year with 10-10-10.
Watering hydrangeas correctly is tricky.
Commercial manure or compost is an organic alternative. But dont let water stand around your plants because hydrangeas are prone to root rot. Water with rainwater to keep hydrangeas blue. Use a soaker hose to water deeply and keep moisture off the flowers and leaves.
