If the hydrangea looks like a healthy plant, but does not bloom, you need to add this fertilizer.

Sometimes flower growers, disappointed in growing hydrangea, replace it with less whimsical plants.

But don't rush to get rid of a hydrangea that hasn't bloomed for years. First, try to create optimal conditions for it.

This shrub likes acidic soil. If the soil does not meet the needs of the hydrangea, there will be no flowering.

Manure and compost are nutritious organic fertilizers that are rich in nitrogen. But they make the soil more alkaline, which hydrangeas do not like.

Experienced gardeners make this shrub bloom using a special fertilizer. It is applied to hydrangea and a small number of other plants that like acidic soil.

We are talking about a solution based on citric acid. In addition, pine needles are placed under the bush. These methods allow you to create optimal conditions for hydrangea.
