How Do You Care For A Potted Hydrangea Plant?
Potted hydrangeas are decorative plants available for purchase during the spring months. The plants are bred to produce large flowers, which weaken the plants, so they are not hardy enough to grow year round in outdoor conditions. Supplying adequate water and pruning the hydrangea will stimulate the plant to produce new growth and re-bloom the following year. The hydrangea can be placed outdoors in partial shade conditions during the summer months but must be placed indoors before frost appears. Place your potted hydrangea plant in a bright location that receives indirect sunlight during the spring months. Move your plant at night to a location with a temperature of 50 to 60 degrees F, as hydrangeas prefer cool nighttime temperatures. Water your plant to keep the soil moist. Water indoors by placing the hydrangea pot in a tray of water for approximately 45 minutes to soak the water through the bottom of the pot. Remove the pot from the tray immediately after the soil has become wet. Do
