Why Hydrangea Doesn't Bloom Well: 5 Mistakes - Both Beginners and Professionals Make Them
Hydrangea is not particularly capricious, which is probably why it is so loved by summer residents.
However, not every owner of a country plot where such a bush grows manages to achieve the appearance of lush caps of inflorescences, and in this, according to the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , the florist himself is to blame.
It is the mistakes made when growing hydrangeas that most often affect the lack of flowering.
Let's make it clear right away: we are talking about tree-like and paniculate hydrangea.
So, these types of hydrangea sometimes refuse to bloom if they were planted in the sun or, conversely, in complete shade. Instead, find a place for the bush with diffused light.
In addition, you are unlikely to see flowers from a tree or panicle hydrangea unless you have pruned the plant or have done so incorrectly.
Another common factor that can cause flowering to be absent is a lack of moisture, especially during the period of flower bud formation.
We would like to finish this list with a reminder that plants need to be fed - in the spring with nitrogen fertilizers, and in the middle and end of summer - with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, and the soil in which they grow needs to be acidified so that the pH is 4-5, or even 3-3.5.
