Maintenance Method Watering: Hydrangea is a "water absorbing plant", and it is necessary to keep the soil moist. Insert your fingers into the soil 3cm and let it dry before watering; It may wilt in half an hour away from water, so it needs to be treated quickly. Lighting: Prefer scattered light in windy areas and avoid direct exposure to strong light; The location of Dongyangtai is ideal, and a sunshade net is needed for the west sun. Fresh cut flower maintenance: High water level maintenance (vase 80% -90%), change water every 1-2 days, cut roots and wash the vase; Cross cutting roots can enhance water absorption capacity; When the flower wilts, soak the whole flower head in clean water for 1-2 hours for emergency treatment. Temperature environment: Avoid placing near air conditioning vents, radiators, and ripe fruits. Pruning: After flowering, cut it above the full bud point, and old flowering varieties can be pruned again. Precautions Pet safety: The entire hydrangea plant is toxic to cats, dogs, and other pets. Pet owners should pay attention to its placement. Do not spray water on the flower head: Daily water spraying can easily cause the petals to rot and deteriorate, unless it is emergency soaking. Soil pH affects flower color: Some varieties of hydrangea have flower color that varies with soil pH, but white varieties are relatively stable.
