Hydrangeas can definitely be classified as plants that are planted in gardens only because they are incredibly beautiful.
It is difficult to find more aesthetic flowers, so their number keeps growing.
However, sometimes the hydrangea literally refuses to bloom, which cannot but upset the summer resident, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
What reasons can be identified?
Trimming or lack thereof
Bushes need to be pruned correctly and in a timely manner: this is a prerequisite for the hydrangea to bloom and look good.
If we are talking about hydrangea, then the procedure should be carried out only twice during the season.
Either the end of autumn or the very beginning of spring are chosen for this. At all other times, pruning can cause harm to the bush.
Incorrect watering
If the hydrangea "suffers from thirst", then you can not even dream of any flowering. It is noteworthy that this type of shrubs needs abundant and regular watering at any stage of its development.
As a rule, the procedure should be carried out at least once every seven days.
The correct feeding scheme
First of all, it is worth remembering that hydrangeas prefer acidic soil. Therefore, you need to monitor the current indicators.
At the beginning of the season, you can choose any nitrogen compounds for fertilizing. But in the remaining months of summer, it is worth focusing on sources of potassium and phosphorus.
