Hydrangeas are beautiful flowering shrubs that can enchant you with their appearance.

But the plants are quite capricious in care. You need to know some nuances so that hydrangeas delight you with their flowering as long as possible.

Particular attention should be paid to watering. After all, if there is a lack of moisture, the plant's roots will suffer, the leaves will turn yellow and wither, and you can't even expect lush flowering.

When watering, do not use water that has just been taken from the tap.

The best option is to allow the water for watering the hydrangea to settle for at least three days.

It is advisable to water the bushes twice a week. In this case, you need to focus on the weather conditions.

In addition, when caring for hydrangeas, it is important to consider that they need loose and fertile soil with a medium acidity level.

Liquid fertilizers will also help, especially if the flowers have become pale. This means that the soil acidity level has decreased.

To fix the situation, you need to take vinegar, aluminum sulfate or citric acid. Just 40 grams will be enough, which you need to mix with 5 liters of clean water.
