About soil condition, hydrengeas prefer soils on the acidic side with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5. They like a well-drained soil that is not too dry. They will also tolerate some shade, especially in hot summer areas.
Similar to other flowers, hydrangeas need sunlight to grow. However, too much sun can cause the flowers to fade. To prevent this, make sure to plant your hydrangeas in a spot that gets partial sun. This way, they'll get enough sunlight to grow, but not so much that the flowers will fade.
The temperature conditions that are ideal for hydrangeas are between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperature gets too hot or too cold, the hydrangea's leaves will start to turn brown and wilt.
Ideal humidity condition for this plant is around 60-70%. If the humidity is too low, the leaves will begin to turn brown and crisp. If the humidity is too high, the leaves will become yellow and will drop off the plant.
Mentioning fertilizer, this type of plant prefers acidic soil. If your soil is alkaline, you can lower the pH by working in some sulfur, aluminum sulfate, or iron sulfate. You can also use a fertilizer formulated for hydrangeas, or one with an acidic ingredient such as sulfur. Be sure to read the labels and follow directions, since too much fertilizer can damage plants.
Pruning is an important aspect of taking care of your hyd rangea teller. By pruning, you can encourage new growth and prevent the plant from becoming overgrown. When pruning, be sure to cut back the stems to the desired length. You can also remove any dead or dying leaves or flowers.
Propagation is best done in spring, by taking semi-ripe cuttings of around 10cm in length. Use a sharp knife to take a clean cut just below a node, and then remove the lower leaves. Dip the cutting into hormone rooting powder and plant into a well-drained propagating mix. Provide bottom heat of around 18-21C for best results. Keep the cuttings moist but not waterlogged, and in around six to eight weeks you should have plenty of new plants to pot up and grow on.
Usually, the plant growth rate is rapid in the first year or two after planting. After that, growth slows somewhat, but the plant continues to add bulk each year. An annual growth rate of 1 to 2 feet is not unusual for a well-established plant.
Common problems for this kind of plant are that the leaves may curl or droop, the buds may not open, and the flowers may be smaller than usual. These problems are usually caused by too much or too little water, or by temperature stress. Make sure to water your hydrangea teller regularly, and to protect it from extreme temperatures.
