SOIL FOR HYDRANGEA 20L

Purpose: A blend of natural peat and green compost, enriched with fertilizers, designed for the cultivation and transplanting of lacecap, bigleaf, mophead, and other varieties of hydrangeas; to supplement and improve planting soil; for soil mulching. The macro- and trace-elements (humic and amino acids) in the compost are easily absorbed, promoting faster establishment and growth of hydrangea shrubs, enhancing their vitality and flowering. Additional fertilization is required less frequently during the vegetation period. The flowers of bigleaf hydrangeas respond to soil acidity: at a soil pH of 4.5, they acquire a blue colour; as the soil becomes more alkaline, at pH 7, the colour of the flowers turns pink. If the pH is higher (alkaline), plants can no longer absorb nutrients, leading to leaf yellowing, wilting and disrupted growth.
Recommendations for use. The compost must be aerated and moistened before planting hydrangeas. Transplanting hydrangeas into a pot or outdoor space: fill the pot or hole (the planting hole must be three times wider than the roots) with soil, plant the shrub, and water generously.
