• Planting and transplanting white, pink and red hydrangeas
• Planting in pots, containers or in the garden
• Growing other acidophilic plants
• Peat
• Composted bark
• Green compost
• Clay
• Expanded clay
• Fertilizer
• Salinity: < 2,0g/l
• Structure: 0-40mm
• The best time to plant is early spring
• Mechanically pressed product. Before use, it is recommended to loosen it, and when the substrate is dry - soak it with water
• Water the plant before removing it from the pot
Transplanting into pots
• Choose a clean pot or a box with drainage holes - larger than the root ball
• Pour drainage (e.g. expanded clay) on the bottom, and then partially fill the container with hydrangea substrate
• Carefully take out the root ball, gently remove the dead roots and loosen the twisted ones
• We put the plant (it should grow to the same depth) and fill the pot with hydrangea substrate up to 2 cm below the edge
• After transplanting, lightly knead the soil and water it moderately
Transplanting bushes
• Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and partially fill it with hydrangea substrate
• Carefully take out the root ball, gently remove the dead roots and loosen the twisted ones
• We insert the plant (it should grow to the same depth) and fill the rest of the hole with hydrangea substrate
• After transplanting, lightly knead the soil and form around the bush in the shape of a bowl, in which the water will hold
• For the first time, water abundantly and cover with mulch, e.g. bark
Practical advice
• It is recommended to start fertilizing 3-4 weeks after transplanting
• Hydrangeas and other acidophilic plants prefer slightly shaded places, sheltered from the wind
• Hydrangea requires a lot of water, on hot days it is necessary to water it systematically daily
• Pots with plants should be kept as constant humidity as possible
• The change in color of the substrate indicates its moisture level and the need for watering
• Excessive watering can lead to the growth of algae in the substrate
