Using a complex fertilizer specifically for hydrangeas.

To feed hydrangeas with complex fertilizers, you need to follow several rules. It is important to use fertilizers developed specifically for hydrangeas or containing the necessary macro- and microelements in the right proportions. It is better to feed during the period of active growth and flowering, avoiding fertilizing during the dormant period.

specifically for hydrangeas.

When and how to use complex fertilizers:

In the spring:

During the period of active growth and the emergence of new shoots, hydrangeas need nitrogen to build up green mass. Use fertilizers with a high nitrogen content, such as nitroammophoska.

Planting.

You can plant Vanilla Fraisie hydrangea both in spring and summer, without waiting for autumn. For northern regions, spring planting is preferable.

Before planting, it is recommended to soak the roots in a root stimulator for 12 hours.

The hydrangea seedling is not buried in the ground and is placed on the surface so that the root collar is at ground level, then covered with soil. After planting, the seedlings are mulched with a layer of peat, pine needles, humus (at least 6-8 cm) and watered abundantly.

If you purchased seedlings in the summer, during flowering, they can be planted in open ground, carefully, with a lump of earth, transferring them from the pot to the planting hole. Hydrangea quickly takes root and adapts to new conditions before the cold weather arrives. After planting, provide the plant with natural shade from the scorching sun and water it generously.
