Step-by-step landing process
The landing process is an important step. Therefore, every detail of the description should be taken seriously:
- Pits for planting are dug in the size of half a meter to half a meter.
- The roots of the seedlings are shortened, the shoots are pruned, only a few buds remain intact.

- The root area is located at ground level.
- After planting, before ramming the earth with needles, compost and sawdust, it is recommended to water the land abundantly.

Propagation of Hydrangea Incredible
Propagation of hydrangea is one of the most predictable moves of any gardener, since noble flowers create an idea of the owner as a landscape designer who knows a lot about plants. There are several scenarios:
- Propagation by seeds, where it is necessary to plant them in the soil in February, when germinating, the sprouts are separated, and when spring comes, they are planted in open ground.
- Shrub division is another option in which in the spring the plant is divided so that it grows stronger by autumn.
- Propagation by layering - young shoots are covered with soil, leaving only the top, and the plant that has taken root is separated and transplanted the next year.
Propagation by cuttings

- From March to June, several upper shoots are selected, the length of which has reached 15 centimeters.
- Next, produce a slice, with the calculation of 90 degrees.

Hydrangea Incredible Care
It is important to observe the conditions for hydrangea care.
Hydrangea requires careful care
Watering mode
Watering the plant is an important part of care, since hydrangea is extremely demanding on the presence of moisture. Water it once every seven days - at least. Elevated temperatures can damage the plant, so when watering it is important to use cool water, about 20 liters for each bush.
Top dressing
Top dressing is carried out in three approaches:
- in the spring - compost;
- at the time of bud ripening, with urea and potassium sulfate;
- to increase the flowering season - with mineral preparations.
Important: the most favorable time for fertilizing the plant is summer and spring. If you do this in the fall, abundant leaf growth will begin, which is detrimental to hydrangea.
Features of care during the flowering period
The flowering period is an important stage, therefore, due to the compaction of the soil, it is necessary to systematically loosen it. It does not matter where it grows - among a vast number of plants or in splendid isolation - watering should occur constantly.
A very important part is trimming. Neatly trimmed branches will delight the eye and help the plant stay in its original form for as long as possible. In no case should hydrangea be transplanted during the flowering period.
Exactly trimmed bushes create a semblance of a green wall.
Features of care at rest
Winter - when the plant is at rest. Here you need to remember that, although the plant is considered frost-resistant, it will not be superfluous to insulate the root part. The upper part may freeze, there is nothing wrong with it, you should not try to cover it, in the spring, the branches will instantly grow and the flowers will again delight you with their appearance.
Winter preparations
Tree hydrangea is a fifth-degree plant, strong, frost-resistant. Already adult plants do not need coating. What can not be said about young shoots that have not reached the age of four, who are not ready for changes in the weather. The root zone of young plants must be mulched and the bush covered with spruce branches, a dense, but at the same time breathable tissue.
Large inflorescences attract the eye and decorate any garden
When warming occurs, after wintering, you can safely get rid of the fabric, but in cloudy weather, a plant weaned from sunlight can get a burn.
Thus, tree hydrangea is a wonderful plant that does not require excessive care. It is frost-resistant, which is beneficial for landing in cool areas.
