The overwintering temperature of Hydrangea spp. can not be lower than 5 degrees, and black rot of branches and leaves will occur when the temperature is lower than the limit. In the growth period, water should be applied in the morning and evening every day, and in winter, water should be controlled. Before planting, add base fertilizer to the soil, and apply fertilizer every half a month during the growth period. In summer, it needs to be kept in a cool place, and in autumn, it gradually increases the sunshine.

I. maintenance method

1. Temperature: the temperature suitable for its development is between 18 ° C and 28 ° C, and the winter temperature can not be lower than 5 ° C, because of the characteristics of cold resistance, when the temperature is lower than the limit temperature, there will be black rot of branches and leaves. After flowering, keep the temperature at 16 ° C, so that the flowering period can be prolonged, and if the maintenance temperature is too high, the flowering period will be reduced.

2. Watering: its branches, leaves and flowers are relatively large, and it needs a lot of water. In the growth period, it needs to water in the morning and evening every day, and in winter, it needs to control water, just two or three times. When pouring, we need to control the amount. When pouring, the soil will be completely wet.

3. Fertilization: before planting, it is necessary to add base fertilizer to the soil, which consumes nutrients faster. During the growth period, it is necessary to apply fertilizer once every half a month. The fertilizer seed can choose the diluted fertilizer cake water. In order to prevent soil alkalization, when fertilizing, you can add 2% ferrous sulfate to the fertilizer, and before flowering, you can add potassium superphosphate solution to the water, which can help flowers to color and make them more colorful.

4. Light: it is not suitable for long-term maintenance in a sunny environment. It needs to be maintained in a relatively cool place in summer, so as to prevent the branches and leaves from being burned. After September, the light will slowly weaken. At this time, it can be moved to a place with more light for breeding.
