For this reason, it is important to make sure that you prune the plant properly at the end of the <strong>flowering season<\/strong>, removing dead or weak branches and leaving only the strong and healthy ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During spring and summer, hydrangeas need plenty of water and regular fertilization. Also, depending on the variety, they may require sun exposure or some shade. Once the flowers have faded, they can be removed from the plant to encourage the development of new shoots and stimulate the next bloom. If you want to propagate the plant, you can <strong>do so through cuttings taken from 10-15 cm twigs<\/strong> and planted in fertile soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hydrangeas: all the tricks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hydrangeas are plants that bloom in summer and require special care in order to grow and bloom in the best way. Here are some tips for growing hydrangeas in April:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Placement<\/strong>: They prefer a partially shaded location, where they receive direct sunlight only during the early morning hours or at the end of the day. Avoid placing hydrangeas in areas with strong winds or direct sun exposure, which can dry out the leaves and cause the plant to dry out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Soil:<\/strong> They grow best in acidic soils, <strong>rich in organic matter<\/strong> and well drained. If your soil is alkaline, you can add peat moss or sulfuric acid to acidify it. Alternatively, you can grow hydrangeas in pots with a substrate specific for acidophilic plants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watering:<\/strong> They require regular watering to keep <strong>the soil consistently moist<\/strong>, but not wet. Avoid pooling water around the roots, which can cause rot and disease. In addition, it is advisable to use rainwater or demineralized water for irrigation, as hard water can cause a reduction in soil acidity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fertilization:<\/strong> Hydrangeas require regular fertilization during the active growth period, which is from March to August. You can use a specific fertilizer for acidophilic plants, which contains a high potassium content to stimulate flowering.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pruning<\/strong>: The pruning of hydrangeas should be done in late winter or early spring, before vegetative resumption. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches by cutting just above a healthy knot. In addition, you can do training pruning to keep the plant compact and well branched.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By following these tips, you can grow hydrangeas in April and enjoy lush, colorful blooms in summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They develop on new shoots that have grown from the previous year.
