Growing hydrangeas

Temperature regime

The hydrangea variety Dentel de Gorron is a seasonal plant, which suggests that it needs a dormant period. The resting phase of the plant consists in partial or complete cessation of development, inability to form flowering shoots. This feature should be taken into account when growing hydrangea at home or apartment conditions. The reason for the absence of inflorescences may be the presence of the bush in the dormant stage.

The minimum temperature, which is not harmful to plant health, is -8 ° C. In a snowless winter, hydrangea is able to withstand temperatures down to -20 ° C if the decrease is short-lived. As a medium cold hardy hydrangea, Dentel de Gorron must be covered for the entire winter season. Each elongated shoot must be bent to the ground, covered with spruce branches or covering material.

Important! Winter hardiness is one of the most important characteristics. The hydrangea plant Dentel de Gorron is included in the category of medium cold hardy.

If we talk about hydrangeas in general, their frost resistance is different. Some varietal varieties freeze at a temperature of -4 ° C of air, and species like panicle hydrangea are able to withstand -40 ° C.

Breeders have specially bred varieties that are resistant to cold snaps, however, they must be closed in the winter season.

In conditions of an extremely hot summer, foliage and buds often fall off the hydrangea. The normal temperature regime for growing this plant is + 22 ° C. If this value is exceeded, the plant needs to be shaded, watered more often.

Watering hydrangeas

Light mode

Plantings of hydrangeas of all types should be abundantly lit. However, cultivation in partial shade conditions is also allowed. However, direct sunlight should be avoided. Foliage can get burned when exposed to the summer afternoon sun.

You can also plant a flower next to a residential building. With this option for the location of the ornamental bush, it is recommended to choose a site where, when planting, most of the sun's rays can reach the plant in the morning or evening time of the day, but not at noon.

When growing hydrangea in the summer on the southern windowsill, you should take care of shading. A transparent curtain is suitable for this purpose. Breeding this plant in the summer in a greenhouse, a special mesh is pulled over the bush, and the glass is whitened with a solution of lime.

Attention! A good way to plant a hydrangea is to place a shrub under a neighboring plant, which has a large height and creates partial shade.

Preparing the soil substrate

You can achieve good results when breeding hydrangeas by preparing the required soil composition for planting. Hydrangea can grow normally, develop well and bloom profusely only when grown in a substrate enriched with useful substances, which has a loose, but not sandy, structure. In this case, the liquid will go deep without lingering in the area of ​​the root system.

Hydrangea develops well if microscopic fungi are present in the soil composition that live in the earth with an increased acid reaction. In this case, the acidity should not exceed 7.

Note! For self-production of the substrate, it is necessary to mix peat with humus (or compost fertilizer), forest soil and sand.

How to properly water hydrangea

Carrying out irrigation activities has some features:

  • should not be watered with water of excessively low temperature;
  • when irrigated with too hard water, there is a possibility of a change in the alkaline composition of the soil towards neutralization or excessive alkalization;
  • watering with stagnant water can lead to decay of the root system;
  • irrigation activities should not occur at a time of increased solar activity;
  • when watering, avoid getting water on foliage and buds;
  • due to the excessively high chlorine content, the use of tap water for watering hydrangeas is unacceptable.

The presence of a mulch layer will eliminate the need for frequent watering. The list of recommended materials for creating mulch includes:

  • hay;
  • chopped straw;
  • sawdust;
  • coniferous needles.

Early spring is considered the most suitable time for mulching.

Important! The above process can be performed after the first fertilizers have been applied.

In autumn, the land can be mulched again. When grown indoors, the amount of watering is reduced when the air temperature drops.

How to fertilize hydrangea correctly

Fertilization has a positive effect on the appearance of the decorative planting and helps to form large inflorescences. For adult plants, both organic and mineral compositions are used.

The early spring period is considered the start time of top dressing. Complex liquid fertilizer in the form of a solution of potassium sulfate and superphosphate is applied by irrigation. Organic application is carried out in a week.

It's worth remembering! Re-introduction of mineral compositions is carried out during the budding period.

Nitrogen-containing fertilizers are added exclusively in the early spring period.

Reproduction of hydrangea

Cuttings for cultivation are taken in the summer before the flowering and budding of the plant.

From the shoot 10 cm long, the lower leaves are removed, and the upper ones are shortened by half.

Important! Before planting, the lower cut is treated with a growth stimulator. When planting, the cutting is buried in the soil by half to the first node.

A plastic bottle placed on top will serve as a greenhouse. Once located in a shaded area, water the planting daily.
