Not only that, sometimes they can change even if different elements are used for nutrition or hydration. For experts, this is a flower that represents a true magic of nature with its particular flowering. But how do you make <strong>them change color<\/strong>? All you need is tap water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flower color, what does it depend on?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The color of hydrangeas is not only linked to the <strong>type of plant<\/strong>, but also to the pH of the soil. In fact, this could have a higher or lower level of acidity as well as basicity. Nature is an extraordinary world, especially in this case when the elements bring out their colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the <strong>soil is acidic<\/strong>, the flowers take on blue and light blue hues. If, on the other hand, it is less acidic, you will have pink and purple flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_40443\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ortensie-colorate.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40443\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that to <strong>change the color of the flowers<\/strong>, it will be enough to change the pH of your soil. You can decant the plant or use natural elements that can promote change: all this always with full respect for this wonderful plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are small <strong>gardening tricks<\/strong> that always come in handy, precisely because they not only help the plant grow healthy but also allow you to discover something never seen before today. As has been said, these actions must always be carried out with the utmost respect for the hydrangea, so that it is preserved, nourished and hydrated to the maximum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tap water to change the color of hydrangeas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To change the color of hydrangea flowers, as anticipated, there are a few little tricks. Before looking at what happens with tap water, experts highlight how to change its color with other elements as well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Wood ash<\/strong> is an element that should never be discarded as waste. In fact, this is a natural fertilizer for all garden plants. In this specific case, it will be enough to spread it on the ground every 3 weeks from March. What happens? The flowers will take on the beautiful pink color and all its shades;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/fondi-di-caffe-prova-a-buttarli-nel-bidet-non-immagini-quel-che-accade-dopo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ground coffee<\/a>, the same goes for this ingredient that is always mistaken for waste. In gardening it represents a natural fertilizer, fertilizing the soil with nitrogen and essential nutrients. Not only that, the soil becomes much more acidic and the flowers turn blue;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_40442\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ortensia-blu-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40442\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Eggshells<\/strong>, natural fertilizers that should never be thrown away. This ingredient also changes the color of the flowers by acidifying the soil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A method that all experts use is based <strong>on tap water<\/strong>, especially if it is calcareous. Over time, it makes the soil much less acidic, changing the color of the hydrangeas. It will be enough to simply use it to water regularly, reaching a perfect final result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost no one knows that tap water is enough to change the color of hydrangeas &#8211; this is the method of the experts.
