How to take care of Hydrangea macrophylla Hi Mountain
Remove the Hydrangea macrophylla Hi Mountain 12 cm from the pot and untangle the root ball slightly, so that the roots can grow outward and not remain in the shape of the growing pot. This will allow it to absorb water better in drought conditions. Soaking the root ball in a bucket of water 10-12 hours before planting will give the plant a head start. Once you have determined where you want to plant the plant, dig a hole deep enough that the entire root ball of the Hydrangea macrophylla Hi Mountain remains 12 inches just below the surface of the soil. Mix the soil in the planting hole with some potting soil, so that water is retained well, but excess water drains away.Place the plant with staggered roots in the planting hole and replenish the soil. Water well and then press firmly. After 4 weeks, give a handful of organic fertilizer on top of the soil around the Hydrangea macrophylla Hi Mountain 12 cm.The Hydrangea macrophylla Hi Mountain 12 cm blooms on "old wood", so it is better not to prune it back. Until the plant naturally becomes too large and you want to prune it into shape. Prune then in the fall, for example by cutting back half of the branches one year, and the other half of the branches the next year.
