Let me tell you how to cultivate Endless Summer to make it bloom vigorously and some tips on the maintenance of green plants and flowers. Let's follow the editor and take a look!
Hydrangeas come in many varieties, which is one of the reasons why they are so loved by flower enthusiasts. Although hydrangeas have only been introduced to China for less than ten years, due to their popularity, many new varieties have been bred.
Among many hydrangeas, Endless Summer is one that is planted frequently and has unique cultivation requirements. Endless Summer has a longer blooming period than many other hydrangeas and is famous for its large flower output, blooming even before summer officially starts.
If you want to have an abundance of blooms next month, follow these five steps for Endless Summer maintenance!
One, choose the right potting soil
Since Endless Summer has fleshy roots, it is afraid of waterlogging during watering. Therefore, we need to provide more growing space for the roots, making a large pot the most suitable for growing Endless Summer.
In addition, the soil for Endless Summer must be loose and fertile. After repotting, it is common to spread a layer of slow-release fertilizer on top of the soil. This way, the roots of Endless Summer will become more developed, leading to faster growth and even blooming in spring.
Two, gentle lighting and attention to shading
Keeping Endless Summer indoors takes up a lot of space, so many gardeners with yards grow them outdoors, making it easier for Endless Summer to bloom abundantly. However, Endless Summer is not very suitable for direct sunlight. Observing its leaves, we can see that they are broad and thin, easily damaged by strong light. Therefore, the lighting should be gentle, taking advantage of the soft spring light, and starting to shade in summer.

Three, keep the soil moist but not waterlogged
Although Endless Summer is afraid of waterlogging, it doesn't mean it doesn't need watering. Due to its fast growth rate, insufficient water supply can affect its growth.
Water Endless Summer without causing waterlogging. In summer, water early in the morning or in the evening, and at other times, water thoroughly when the potting soil feels dry.
Four, sufficient fertilization
During the growing season, don't forget to fertilize Endless Summer, as this directly affects the flower output. Starting now, you can apply a compound fertilizer every two weeks, and switch to applying potassium dihydrogen phosphate a month before the blooming period, about every 10 days. This will result in a very large number of flowers.
Five, timely pruning after blooming
Endless Summer only blooms once a year, but many experts manage to make it bloom twice by artificial control, which mainly refers to post-blooming pruning.
Once the flowers begin to wilt, it's not far from decline. At this point, you can cut off the flowers, trimming the spent blooms from above the branches, ensuring consistent flower output for the next bloom.
Following these five steps will make it very easy for Endless Summer to bloom abundantly. When the blooming period arrives, you'll be able to enjoy countless large flower balls. Do you enjoy growing Endless Summer?
