You need to be careful when choosing fertilizer for hydrangea, because many of the usual options are not suitable for the “queen of the garden.”
The best option, of course, is complex fertilizers produced under the supervision of professionals.
But folk remedies should not be dismissed either. However, it should be remembered that for most plants, "gold" is poison for hydrangea.
Ash, lime, chalk, dolomite flour reduce soil acidity. Hydrangea, as is known, does not like alkaline soil. Optimal indicators for the plant are within 4.5-5.5.
In addition, it is worth remembering that hydrangea will better tolerate the lack of any substances than fight against negative factors. This is an unpretentious plant, so complex fertilizer will be quite enough for it.
As for manure, it is permissible to use only well-rotted fertilizer, otherwise you can harm the bush. A similar rule applies to compost. Unripe fertilizer can seriously harm the hydrangea.
