Dlaczego HORTENSJA ogrodowa nie kwitnie - najczęstsze błędy w uprawie. Co robić żeby obficie kwitła?

It seemed to me that almost everything has already been said about hydrangeas on this channel. However, it turns out that you have a lot of questions about garden hydrangeas, specifically why garden hydrangeas do not bloom. I will look at three reasons and we will talk about these reasons in today's episode. I invite you to watch. Who grows hydrangeas knows that garden hydrangeas are much more capricious than bouquet hydrangeas. Here on my right is a hydrangea called Vanilla Fries. But if we provide our hydrangeas with the right conditions, then they will also enjoy a long bloom, a lush bloom and we will not have any problems with them. Hydrangea, of course, needs the right amount of water for its growth, so we have to provide it with a moist substrate. If we have clay soil, we loosen it with sand. At the beginning of my hydrangea career, when I planted garden hydrangeas, I added a little sand to the clay soil and some of them have been growing here for 20 years and they still bloom beautifully. If you have sandy soil, which is very permeable, then you have to add a little compost, perhaps a little bit of such universal soil. It is known that sandy soil dries out quickly, so such a position is not good for hydrangeas. It must be enriched with either compost or universal soil. When it comes to the position, garden hydrangeas like to grow in the shade. They do not like full sun because then their petals burn, leaves. The best position for hydrangeas will be the eastern, northern or, for example, northeastern position. My blue hydrangeas grow, one grows in the eastern position and the other in the northern position. From this perspective, we rarely record videos. This is the part of the garden where rhododendrons and azaleas grow. There is a half-shade here. Hydrangeas grow in the northern position. Here I have a cluster of blue hydrangeas that stretches all the way to the end of the fence. There used to be a very large live fence here, and hydrangeas planted under it. This is the perfect position for our plants. Hydrangeas do not like to grow in such an overgrown position, where, for example, a cold wind or frost can cut off their shoots in the spring. That is why, as I said, the northern position, the eastern position. Hydrangeas also like to grow on the eastern wall, right next to the house. Garden hydrangeas are much more demanding when it comes to the soil in which they grow. They must have an addition of acidic peat, because then they are beautifully discolored and grow beautifully. So if we plant hydrangeas, I think about one third of the acid peat, while the rest of the local soil, and we plant hydrangeas to such a substrate, and I think they will be satisfied then. Look, these hydrangeas that grow here, do you remember how small they were? When I planted them two years ago, they were really small cuttings, collected from the top shoots, and at this moment the hydrangeas Endless Summer Love and Endless Summer are already real giants. Look how beautiful they are. Another mistake we can make when growing garden hydrangeas is a bad cutting of the bush. Hydrangeas bloom beautifully at this time, and if they overbloom, and you cut them too low after blooming, let's say around September, then they will not tie flower buds for the next season. Because most garden hydrangeas tie flower buds at the end of the year for the next season. If we cut them too low, either in the fall of this year, or in the spring of next year, such a hydrangea will simply not bloom for us. Therefore, if you want to remove overbloomed flower buds, we only remove the flower bud itself in the spring. Among garden hydrangeas, however, we have such varieties that bloom both last year and this year. So, if we cut overbloomed flower buds in the spring, there is no need to worry, because such a hydrangea will also bloom on this year's shoots. And here I would recommend hydrangeas Otaxe, Endless Summer, Forever and Ever. They come in pink, white, purple colors, so the choice of such hydrangeas is also quite large. When it comes to fertilizing garden hydrangeas, I do it only once a season, around March and April. I use universal hydrangea fertilizer here. And alternately, in one year I sprinkle them with ammonium sulfate, which acidifies the substrate, and in the next year I fertilize the hydrangea. Of course, if hydrangeas have drawbacks, for example, too little iron, which can be seen on overdyed leaves, then we have to supplement such fertilization a little. For example, also with leaf fertilizer, which I did this year due to very difficult spring conditions. The biggest mistake we can make when it comes to garden hydrangea care is not to protect them during spring frosts. I'm not talking about winter and winter frosts here, but spring frosts are the worst for our hydrangeas. This hydrangea has not bloomed at all for four years. I talked to her last year. I scared her a little bit, that if it doesn't bloom this year, I'll kick her out of this discount. As you can see, it probably brought the effect, because hydrangea is sprinkled with flowers. And in fact, this hydrangea grows in such a delicate stretch. So I think she just froze me every year, because I didn't protect her. Last year, cutting a large miscanthus, I secured it. You can watch this video, because there are several videos about hydrangea protection against frost. I tied it with a string, secured it quite tightly with these cut miscanthus shoots. And I kept such protection until mid-May. I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if this hydrangea really survived me in good condition. It is sprinkled with a lot of flowers. So remember that garden hydrangea must be protected, especially during spring. Either with cartons, for example. I don't use agrofibers when it comes to protecting plants, only cartons or some cut grass. If you have a hydrangea that doesn't bloom for a few years in a row, it is also worth thinking about transplanting such a plant. This is also a five-year-old hydrangea, which didn't bloom at all, planted under one of the trees. It was too tight there, because the crowns of the tree were practically falling on its shoots. And I transplanted this hydrangea last year. Last year it had two flowers, and this year, look, there will be a beautiful, beautiful white flower on each shoot. So sometimes it's worth thinking about transplanting such a plant. You definitely remember this rhubarb, this is a tulip rhubarb. In spring, a lot of tulips, hyacinths and garlic grew here. And at this point, hydrangeas, lilies, spruces and other herbs come into play. I think I'll show you this rhubarb. And I also planted a few more garden hydrangeas here.
