When does hydrangea bloom
Let's share with everyone when hydrangea blooms and the maintenance methods and knowledge of managing flowers. Detailed content will be shared next.
Hydrangea has certain ornamental value, but it is more ornamental after blooming. Therefore, raising a pot of hydrangea outdoors is a very good choice. However, many people do not know when hydrangea blooms. In fact, it usually blooms after June and is very beautiful after flowering. So, how many times does hydrangea bloom in a year? Let's find out with the editor next.
【One, When does hydrangea bloom】
Since the flowering period of hydrangea is from June to August, the flowers will bloom in June. Although the flowering period is relatively short, it looks very beautiful after flowering and is highly ornamental. If you want to change the color of hydrangea, you can also choose to change the soil, in which case the color of the hydrangea will change with the soil.
The color of the flowers will also appear more unique, and raising the temperature can extend the viewing period. However, high temperatures cause the flowers to fade quickly. Hydrangea is a short-day plant, requiring more than 10 hours of darkness each day to form flower buds in about 45-50 days. Potted hydrangeas are commonly used in pots of 15-20 centimeters.
【Two, How many times does hydrangea bloom in a year】
Hydrangea generally blooms in June every year. Some flower friends ask how many times hydrangea blooms in a year. In fact, it only blooms once. However, because the characteristic of endless summer hydrangea is that both new and old branches bloom, often the flowers on the old branches have bloomed for a long time before the new branches bloom, creating an illusion of blooming twice.
When does hydrangea bloom
Therefore, hydrangea basically only blooms once and does not bloom multiple times. However, in rare cases, it can bloom twice, but the method is special and requires careful maintenance. Only experienced gardeners can achieve this, so wanting hydrangea to bloom twice is a very difficult thing.
【Three, Reasons why hydrangea does not bloom】
<1. Improper pruning>
The flowering period of hydrangea is from June to August. After the flowering period, the flower branches should be pruned to reduce nutrient loss. If the plant grows too vigorously and is heavily pruned in early spring, it is difficult to form flower branches in June to August, resulting in reduced or no blooming.
<2. Insufficient lighting>
Hydrangea cultivation in homes is limited by conditions, resulting in less sunlight exposure, which can cause the leaves to grow excessively and the plant to grow poorly. The excessive consumption of nutrients by the leaves can lead to insufficient nutrition during flower bud differentiation, affecting flowering. Therefore, appropriate lighting is necessary.
<3. Excessive nitrogen fertilizer>
