White hydrangeas are known for their elegant, timeless beauty. Their large, cloud-like blooms symbolize grace, purity, and heartfelt emotions. These stunning flowers can transform any space with their lush, voluminous appearance, making them a favorite for gardens, weddings, and home décor.

Plant care🪴

1. Sunlight:

• Ideal: Hydrangeas generally do best with morning sun and partial shade in the afternoon, especially in hotter climates.

• Tip: Ensure they get at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily for healthy blooms.

2. Watering:

• Consistency is key: Keep the soil evenly moist.

• Frequency: Water deeply at least once a week during dry spells.

• Note: Avoid waterlogging, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot.

3.Mulching:

• Benefits: Mulch helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and stabilize temperature.

• Application: Apply a 2-3 inch layer around the base of the plant, keeping mulch a few inches away from the stem.

5. Fertilizing:

• When: Early spring is ideal for a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.

• Amount: Follow package directions; over-fertilizing can lead to excessive leafy growth at the expense of blooms.

6. Pruning:

•Remove dead or weak stems and shape the plant. Note that some varieties bloom on old wood, so avoid heavy pruning if you’re unsure of your hydrangea’s blooming habits.
