Hydrangea is a very popular ornamental plant. Its flowers are colorful and beautiful in shape, and are deeply loved by people. But in order to make hydrangea flowers grow healthier and more beautiful, certain breeding skills and precautions are needed.
Choosing the right soil Choosing the right soil is an important factor in the growth of hydrangea flowers. Hydrangea likes acidic soil with loose soil, good drainage and rich in organic matter. You can choose peat soil or add lime soil and perlite fragments to ordinary soil to improve the soil quality.
Appropriate watering should be carried out. The hydrangea needs to maintain appropriate humidity during its growth, but not too much watering, otherwise it will cause root rot. Under normal circumstances, water 1-2 times a week to keep the soil moist.
Control fertilizer amount Fertilizer is a necessary condition to promote the growth and development of hydrangea, but the amount should also be appropriate. Excessive use of fertilizer can cause damage to the roots and affect growth. You can apply organic fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer once a month, or use liquid fertilizer once every two weeks.
Regular pruning Regular pruning can promote the branching and thicknessy of hydrangea flowers, while also controlling plant height and shape. Pruning should be done in spring and fall to remove dead and sick leaves to make the plants look healthier.
Avoid direct sunlight Although hydrangeas require sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis, too much direct sunlight can also cause damage to the plants. You should choose a semi-shaded outdoor area or a bright indoor area to place hydrangea flowers.
Avoid excessive drying. An excessively dry environment will cause the flowers and leaves of hydrangea flowers to wither and affect growth. Leaf surfaces should be cleaned in time and air humidity should be enhanced. You can choose to spray water frequently or use a humidifier to improve the environment.
Pay attention to preventing and controlling pests and diseases is a common problem during the growth of hydrangea flowers. Common pests and diseases include aphids, mites, powdery mildew, etc. It should be discovered in a timely manner and corresponding prevention and control measures should be taken, such as the use of pesticides, herbicides, etc.
Appropriate transplanting appropriate transplanting can promote the growth and renewal of hydrangea flowers, but attention should also be paid to the appropriate timing. Under normal circumstances, spring and autumn are good times to transplant. You can choose to transplant before or after flowering.
Note that the dormant period is an important part of hydrangea growth. During this period, the plant needs to maintain low temperature and humidity, usually in autumn and winter. Watering and cleaning leaves should be done regularly, and excessive drying and direct sunlight should be avoided.
Avoid over-fertilization Although fertilizer is necessary to promote the growth and development of hydrangea, over-fertilization can affect plant health. Appropriate amount of fertilizer and reasonable use methods should be selected, such as applying organic fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer once a month.
Close planting will affect the growth of hydrangea flowers require a certain amount of space and light. Close planting will cause plants to compete for nutrients and light, which will affect growth. Therefore, a certain distance should be maintained when planting to allow the plants to have enough space for growth.
Properly prune flowers. Hydrangea flowers have a short opening period, so flowers should be pruned in time to promote flower bud differentiation and the growth of new flowers. You can cut off or pick the flowers after they open to avoid wasting too much nutrients on the plant.
Maintaining ventilation Maintaining proper ventilation can help hydrangeas expel exhaust gas and moisture and avoid affecting growth. A well-ventilated environment should be chosen to place hydrangea flowers, such as a balcony or indoor vents.
Pay attention to the planting depth. The planting depth of hydrangea should be appropriate. Generally speaking, the root system should be buried in the soil to leave about 1-2 cm of space. If the depth is not appropriate, it will affect plant growth and even lead to wilting.
Regular weeding is an important task in the maintenance of hydrangea flowers, which can prevent weeds from affecting plant growth and nutrient intake. Appropriate weeding tools or spraying should be selected to weed.
Hydrangea is a beautiful ornamental plant, but many details need to be paid attention to during the breeding process. Choosing suitable soil, watering properly, controlling fertilizer amount, regularly pruning, avoiding direct sunlight, paying attention to preventing and controlling pests and diseases, properly transplanting, paying attention to dormancy period, avoiding excessive fertilization, maintaining ventilation, paying attention to planting depth, and regularly weeding are all important factors in maintaining hydrangea.
