Many people plant hydrangeas because the plant has an incredibly aesthetic appearance.
It is difficult to find a shrub that would look equally attractive.
However, some people have difficulty with the question of the need for additional feeding, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, a landscape designer and agronomist.
As it turns out, hydrangeas do need fertilizing.
What is their purpose?
Flowers
Hydrangeas are planted solely for the beauty of their flowers. It is worth understanding that the bush requires a lot of nutrients in order to "feed" this beauty.
Therefore, the main purpose of fertilizers is to form incredibly aesthetic flowers that please the eye with their size and splendor.
Health
Like all plants, hydrangea must be healthy to continue to delight you with its beauty. Most universal fertilizers have a positive effect on the immunity of the bush and its health.
Acidity level
In order for hydrangeas to bloom actively, it is necessary to maintain an adequate level of acidity. It is also worth understanding that this indicator also affects the shade of the flowers themselves.
