When it comes to hydrangeas, many people may first think of Endless Summer. Yes, this variety can be said to be a summer star flower. Not only are the flowers beautiful and lush, but the blooming amount is also very large, becoming a beautiful sight every summer.
The Endless Summer hydrangea can bloom on both old and new branches. After the first bloom, immediately prune the remaining flowers and long branches, and then strengthen the maintenance of water and fertilizer. By August and September, it can bloom again. For friends who keep Endless Summer hydrangeas at home, don't forget to prune after the first blooming period!
I. Post-blooming Pruning
The reason why the Endless Summer hydrangea is more loved by flower enthusiasts is not only because it blooms more and has larger flower clusters. With good maintenance and sufficient nutrients, it can bloom multiple times.
After the first flowering period ends, immediately剪 cut the wilted flowers from the buds above, and prune the overgrown branches at the same time. Pay attention to leaving good buds at the bottom, as these buds will grow into new branches and bloom again after a while. The Endless Summer blooms a lot and is more prone to lodging. After flowering, be sure to prune it to dwarf the plant and promote the germination of new branches.
II. Supplementing Nutrition
Of course, if you want the Endless Summer to bloom again, you first need to ensure sufficient nutrients to make the plant grow vigorously. After pruning, if the plant is weak, you can frequently apply nitrogen fertilizer to promote lush growth of the branches and leaves. For example, you can ferment some rice washing water or cake fertilizer water and water it once a week, which can make the plant sprout a lot of new branches.
After the new branches and leaves grow lush, stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and apply 1-2 times of monopotassium phosphate, which will make the plant bloom again in large amounts.

III. Do Not Water Too Often
In summer, the Endless Summer hydrangea is also in a period of vigorous growth. During this time, it is important not to let the soil be too dry or lack water, nor to water too often, making the soil too moist or waterlogged. Watering can follow the principle of "watering when dry," which means watering when the soil surface is dry. When the maintenance environment is warm and the air is dry, you can spray the surrounding ground and plants with clean water to increase humidity and lower the ambient temperature, providing a good environment for the plant to grow.
IV. Light Requirements
The Endless Summer hydrangea prefers semi-shade and does not tolerate strong light, but it still needs sufficient light for growth and flowering. When growing hydrangeas, let them receive more weak scattered light to allow them to perform photosynthesis fully, making the plants strong and promoting bud formation and flowering. However, in the summer, with high temperatures and strong sunlight, do not let the plants be exposed to direct sunlight, as this can easily burn the leaves and cause the tender branches and leaves to wither.
Now many flower enthusiasts are in the full blooming period of the Endless Summer. After it finishes flowering, don't forget to prune the remaining flowers and branches and ensure sufficient nutrients, so that by August, the plant can bloom a second time.
