Planting and caring for the bush
If the weather allows early in the spring, then the best time to plant a hydrangea is difficult to find. You can plant the plant in the autumn. Despite the fact that the bushes tolerate the cold well, preparation for winter for them (especially for young plants in the early years of life) will not be superfluous. To this end, heat-loving varieties are insulated from autumn.
For many types of hydrangeas, partial shade is preferable. Whereas for a panic hydrangea it is better to choose solar spaces, which are provided with wind protection.
Choosing a place for planting, you should also take into account that the shrub does not get along on sandy soil. After choosing a place, you should dig a hole and perform its correct preparation for planting.
The size of the pit should be large enough: it is usually a square of 50 to 50 or 80 to 80 with a depth of 40-60 cm. The orientation should be based on the size of the root and the seedling itself. By equipping the pit, it is important to remember that fertilizers will be laid in it. Therefore, it does not seem great.

The shop, surrounded by bushes of hydrangeas with pink and purple flowers, is perhaps the most romantic place in the garden.
In an open hole pour a couple of buckets of water and wait for the night until the moisture is completely absorbed into the soil.
In the morning the pit is filled with a nutrient mixture of peat, fertile soil, sand and humus (2/2/1/1), together with mineral-organic additives (urea and potassium sulfate 25 g + superphosphate 65 g).
Will help acidify the soil mixture of pine and spruce needles. The prohibition here is a lime additive, which the plant does not tolerate and because of what can perish. The pit is considered ready for landing when it is laid with the mixture entirely.
Before planting the seedlings, he shortens the roots and removes excess annual shoots. They leave only 3 to 5 kidneys. This requirement is advanced with respect to tree-like plants. Pruning hydrangea large-leaved is not required. Since her flower buds are located on the top of the shoot, they can not be removed.
Planting a plant in the soil is the simplest thing that remains to be done.
Arranging the seedling in the hole, dig it with soil so that the root neck is level with the ground.
Note: the root neck is the place where the root system begins at the trunk. Visually, it looks like a patch with a shift of color from green to light brown.
After planting, the bush is abundantly moistened and sprinkled with mulch - a mixture of acid peat, humus of leaves and needles. This layer will contribute to the preservation of moisture in the soil and better rooting of the plant. Planted plants should be immediately protected from the scorching sun and wind for a period until it settles.
Feeding hydrangeas
Feeding with a variety of fertilizers will allow you to quickly get the desired result in the form of bright and large flowers on the plant. It is better to use special fertilizers, created for hydrangeas, because there are such large-leafed fragile varieties that require moderate feeding. And in such compositions everything is balanced.
For the plant requires fourfold top dressing: from early spring to late summer.
1. Top dressing in the spring is performed with the first sap movement in plants through organic fertilizers, which are a good stimulus for the development of inflorescences.
2. The second top dressing is planned for the period of bud growth. Optimal here is the composition with urea, potassium and superphosphate.
3. The third time fertilizers are laid in the middle of summer, which contributes to the continuous flowering of hydrangeas. The procedure is a regular watering with the addition of mineral components.
4. The fourth top dressing is carried out when preparing for the winter. It is inadmissible to add nitrogen. The optimal solution is a specialized fertilizer for hydrangeas.
Since the shrub is sufficiently hygrophilous, it is necessary to moisten the soil under it in time. It is watered every week abundantly, pouring up to 30 liters per square meter of land near the bush. In rainy weather, the volume of watering is reduced.
