Hydrangeas are bright, beautiful plants, a real decoration for the garden.
However, not all gardeners manage to admire the flowering of this plant. ADVICE.NEWS answered the question of why hydrangea may not bloom and how to fix it.
Check the growing conditions
The first thing you need to do is make sure that the hydrangea is growing in the right conditions for it.
Check the level of sunlight, moisture and soil fertility.
The requirements for the listed parameters depend on the hydrangea variety - some species prefer shady flower beds, while others like a lot of sunlight.
Review your watering schedule
If any mistakes were made during the watering process, this will be visible from the appearance of the plant.
Lack of moisture causes leaves to turn yellow and fall off.
If there is too much water, the hydrangea's root system begins to rot, which leads to the death of the flower.
In most cases, hydrangeas like moderately moist soil. Again, plant preferences depend on the specific variety.
Make sure you prune the plant correctly.
If you want your hydrangea to bloom, don't forget to prune it at the appropriate time.
Additionally, if a flower receives too many nutrients, it may produce more leaves, which will prevent the plant from blooming.
Finally, we note that the absence of flowering in some cases may be normal.
For example, if you recently planted a hydrangea, the bush needs time to settle into the soil and begin to bloom.
If you are caring for the plant and the growing conditions meet its requirements, your hydrangea is fine - just give it time.
