Hydrangeas are beautiful and large flowering plants, also known as eight immortals flowers, pink ball flowers, grass hydrangeas, purple hydrangeas, purple sun flowers, etc. Now some people also plant hydrangeas in their yards. So how should hydrangeas be watered?
How should hydrangeas be watered for best results?
Hydrangeas love water because they prefer a semi-shaded and humid environment. Generally, they need to be watered every few days to prevent them from wilting due to lack of water.
When watering hydrangeas, be careful with the amount of water; overwatering is bad, and underwatering is also bad. Before watering, check the moisture level of the potting soil. If the soil is completely dry, then water thoroughly. During rainy seasons, ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging in the pot.
How often should I water my hydrangea?
In summer, due to high temperatures and hot weather, water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. As for how much water to give, it depends on the moisture content of the potting soil; generally, just keeping the soil moist is sufficient.
In spring and autumn, when the temperature is suitable, watering once every two days is sufficient.
In winter, when the weather is cold, hydrangeas should be moved indoors. Watering should be reduced to a minimum, only two or three times throughout the winter. Every two years, in early spring, the hydrangeas need to be repotted with fresh soil.
Hydrangea Watering Instructions
Watering hydrangeas requires moderation; overwatering should be avoided. During the rainy season, ensure proper drainage, as waterlogged soil can lead to root rot. When growing potted hydrangeas indoors during winter, keep the soil appropriately dry. Overly moist soil can cause leaf rot, and in severe cases, the entire plant may die.
