Many people want to grow some green plants at home to decorate their rooms, and climbing hydrangea is a good choice. But do you know how to make climbing hydrangea grow healthily and beautifully indoors? Let's find out!
I. Choose a suitable variety for indoor climbing hydrangea
If you plan to grow climbing hydrangea indoors, the first step is to choose a variety suitable for the indoor environment. Among them, Golden Leaf Climbing Hydrangea, Rabbit's Tail Climbing Hydrangea, Maidenhair Fern Leaf Climbing Hydrangea, and Green Vine Flower Climbing Hydrangea are more suitable for indoor care.
II. Pay attention to light and temperature
Climbing hydrangea has high requirements for sunlight, but too strong sunlight will turn its leaves yellow, so choose a location with moderate light. At the same time, when growing climbing hydrangea indoors, you also need to pay attention to the temperature. In summer, the temperature should not exceed 30°C, and in winter, it should not be lower than 5°C.
III. Water timely
Climbing hydrangea grows quickly and requires a lot of water. However, overwatering can lead to root rot, so you need to control the frequency and amount of watering. Generally, water once a week in spring and summer, and you can extend the interval in autumn and winter.
IV. Pay attention to air humidity
Climbing hydrangea likes a humid environment, so when growing it indoors, pay attention to maintaining air humidity. You can increase humidity by spraying around the plant or placing a water tray.
V. Regular fertilization
Indoor climbing hydrangea needs regular fertilization to provide nutrients. You can choose organic fertilizer or general fertilizer and apply it once every two months or so.
VI. Pruning and shaping
Climbing hydrangea grows very fast and is easy to climb onto surrounding objects. It needs regular pruning and shaping to maintain the plant's beautiful shape.
VII. Pest control
Indoor climbing hydrangea is also susceptible to pests, such as aphids and mites. If pests are found, timely measures should be taken for prevention and control to avoid affecting the plant.

Choosing a suitable pot is also an issue to pay attention to when growing climbing hydrangea indoors. You should choose a pot with good air permeability and drainage, and choose the size of the pot according to the size and growth condition of the plant.

Because climbing hydrangea grows quickly, its roots will also continuously expand, so it is necessary to replace the soil regularly to maintain the plant's growth condition.

If you need to repot the climbing hydrangea into a new pot, pay attention to repotting during the growing period to avoid excessive impact on the plant.
