<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHealthy Hydrangeas: Beware of Pests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The hydrangea is particularly exposed to the aggression of parasites and typical diseases. If the plant looks slightly different than usual, especially if the flowers have an unusual color and consistency, it may have been the victim of the harmful action of a number of harmful microplasms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once their presence has been verified, the affected parts must be removed so that the aggression does not spread to other areas of the plant. Potential attackers also include mites and aphids. In that case, the solutions are less extreme and easier to reject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In such cases, natural remedies can be used: for example, Marseille soap, diluted in water, which can be easily sprayed on the affected areas. Mold attacks are also common in hydrangeas. They can be counteracted with a mixture of baking soda and water, sprayed directly on the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beware of mealybugs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There is also one particular insect that is very harmful to the hydrangea: the mealybug. Also in this case we recommend using Marseille soap, mixed with fresh water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To combat cochineal, it is necessary that the base of the plant always remains dry, this is because stagnant water is the natural habitat of this insect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hydrangeas: hot and cold<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Hydrangea branches should never be exposed to direct sunlight, because they dry out easily. But you also have to be careful with the cold. The cold can sometimes prevent flowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One way to avoid this is pruning. It will be enough to practice it very drastically and in mid-summer, not at the beginning of spring as usual. By reducing the plant to a few branches, the following year you can enjoy a perfect flowering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
