Hydrangea, a perennial plant, comes in a wide range of varieties like:
Fun fact: Bigleaf and smooth hydrangea usually have sterile flowers. But lacecap hydrangeas, a cultivar of H. macrophylla, can have fertile and sterile flowers. And unlike fertile flowers, sterile flowers won’t attract bees!
You also have patented types of hydrangea, including Endless Summer hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) and Limelight hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata).
But what soil should you use for these hydrangea varieties?
Let’s explore the best soil and other essentials about planting hydrangeas:
For growing hydrangeas, you need moist, well draining soil.
Here’s what makes the best soil for your hydrangea plant:
That’s why Rosy’s Hydrangea Soil is better than sandy soil or heavy clay soil, which may cause dry roots and root rot.
Here are essential tips for growing hydrangeas:
Species like Bigleaf hydrangea (French hydrangea) change flower color based on the soil pH.
So here’s how to get a specific hydrangea flower color:
Generally, patented flower varieties of hydrangea, like Endless Summer, have their own bloom color kits. But you can also add aluminum sulfate or garden lime to modify soil pH.
Moreover, it’s easier to change blue flowers to pink blooms than to change pink flowers to blue blooms since alkaline soil makes aluminum unavailable for plants.
I’ve transplanted all that I could for about 3 weeks now and all of the plants appear very happy. I enjoyed working with it also. I would definitely plant more of my plants in the soil.
This stuff rocks. Good for the earth and a catalyst for adding houseplants to my collection!
Very good aeration and drainage, I tend to over water and because of the excellent drainage me and my plants are on very good terms.
I’m really happy with this soil mix. I repotted four plants with this mix 2 months ago and my plants are very happy. My monstera has grown 6 new leaves sine repotting. I did major surgery on my jade and it has put out so many new little leaves. I do pick out little mushrooms often but it doesn’t bother me. Will be purchasing again.
I received my FIRST order on Saturday. The bag was huge! I repotted my neanthe Bella palm and she is adjusting nicely. Then I used the rest to repot a huge sansevieria that I received last month and which was rootbound. This soil was extremely easy to work with and I managed to transfer my sansevieria into a larger pot with no difficulty. I appreciate the time which the team has taken to answer all of my questions regarding this soil. I am highly recommending and will definitely purchase again
