Intro

The most famous Hydrangea Macrophylla is the Hydrangea hydrangea. The colours range from white, red, pink, purple and blue.

Location

The Hydrangea loves light and a spot near a window on the east or west is therefore ideal. It is also possible to place the plant on the south, but a few meters distance is recommended. If there is too much light, the flowers will discolour and this is at the expense of the ornamental value.

Watering

The disadvantage is that the flowers can turn brown. It is better to water a lot in one go, than always a little bit. This is especially true in the summer. In winter it is already important that you water considerably less anyway, because the plant will be in the idle position and uses little energy.

A hydrangea needs a lot of fertilizer because it flowers so much. You can use organic, universal fertilizers. These fertilizers are good for hydrangeas, but also for the whole garden. To retain the colour of the Hydrangeas, it is best to add hydrangea soil based on garden peat and hydrangea bluemaker.

Origin

The Hydrangea (Hydrangea) is one of the most popular plants, for indoor and outdoor. Depending on the cultivation method, the season or the environment, the flower can take on different colours, from beautiful fresh colours to through-coloured shades. Hydrangea comes from Greek: hydro is water and angeion is barrel or jug. The name refers to the open fruit that resembles a water barrel. The mother species Hydrangea grows in incredible quantities along the coasts south of Tokyo. Hydrangea also originates from East Asia and large parts of North and Central America. There is a large colour range from white, pink and blue to two-colour, green and red.
