1. Sunlight
Hydrangeas are actually shade-loving plants by nature, but this doesn't mean they don't need sunlight; it just means their demand for sunlight is not very high. Therefore, we shouldn't always place them in dark and damp areas. No plant can grow well without sunlight. Hydrangeas are particularly picky about sunlight: the duration of light exposure should not be too long or too short, and the intensity of sunlight should not be too strong or too weak. So, when cultivating hydrangeas, we need to pay special attention to their lighting needs and provide them with moderate sunlight.
2. Watering
Hydrangeas enjoy a moist growing environment, so when cultivating them, we must ensure they have a sufficiently moist environment. Hydrangea leaves are quite large, so their water requirement is relatively high. If we don't water them regularly, they may show signs of yellowing leaves. Only with adequate water can they grow more rapidly. We should water them frequently in spring, as it is dry and we need to provide a moist environment for the plants. In summer, we should avoid watering at noon.

3. Soil
The soil requirements for hydrangeas are relatively low. In fact, hydrangeas can be planted directly in the ground. However, since the soil on the ground is often compacted, we usually don't plant them directly in the ground. The most common method we choose is potting, which allows us to easily provide a variable and good cultivation environment for the soil. So our first choice for cultivation is potting.
The soil for cultivating hydrangeas doesn't have strict requirements. Therefore, we can add things to the soil that increase its permeability, such as peat, perlite, and ceramsite. Mix these with the soil, and then water them as scheduled.
4. Fertilization
We need to provide them with enough nutrients during the cultivation process. We can mix some organic fertilizer liquid with water and pour it on the hydrangeas, but be sure to dilute it with water to prevent the roots from getting burned. When applying fertilizer, we must pay attention to the method and dosage. We only need to fertilize once every 15 days.
When I cultivate hydrangeas, it really takes no effort, and they are in a free-range state. However, the hydrangeas I raise still bloom beautifully, simply because I pay attention to these points. Cultivating them effortlessly still results in beautiful flowers. If you think my method is correct, you can try it when planting!
