After the commandment of the first germs, the glass is cleaned, they wait for the first two sheets and peel the hydrangea to the pots with a diameter of 7 cm.
Decision bush. The easiest and painless method of breeding. In the spring, hydrangea is taken out of the pot, the bush is separated on the part so that each new plant has a root and growth point. Before seating the bush, the roots are shortened, water and fall asleep with a layer of substrate peat. The work is carried out in the spring, so that the part of the bush is perfectly strengthened in the soil.
Shining. It is produced in January-February to get a multi-speed bush. The shore, spent in the spring, will lead to the fact that the hortensia bush will be single-way. The cuttings are cut from roasting shoots, their length is from 7 to 9 cm, be sure to up to 3 intercosals on each cutken. After trimming, the resulting cuttings are treated with a root stimulant, which is applied to the slice, rooted in a peat and sand substrate. Full rooting occurs within 3-4 weeks.

Lighting and temperature in the cultivation of room hydrangea

With too bright light on the flower sheets, white spots are formed, with dim lighting, the growth of hydrangea is almost stopped. Roomflowers of hydrangea are very fond of light, so the colors with flowers are recommended to be placed on the southern windowsides, having prolonged them from direct sunlight. To create the shade, you can use cardboard that will protect the leaflets and flowers of hydrangea from burns. You can also install the Vase with room hydrangea in 3-4 m from the window.

The most picky variety is the hydrangea jasmine room, the care of it turns into a real test. During warm days, the plant requires a temperature not lower than +15 s, but not higher than +25 S. And on the winter days, the Vazon with jasmine room, hydrangea is installed on a dark window sill, putting a piece of foam. The supercooling of the roots leads to the death of jasmine species.

Temperature mode for hydrangea after flowering period is reduced to 7-10 s, carrying a flower into a dark room. Such an atmosphere is necessary for a room plant hydrangea to restore forces. If you do not comply with the cold wintering, the plant will not bloom the next year. In the coolness, Vazan is worth about from late October until the end of February, and when the kidneys begin to wake up, the hydrangea is returned to heat again.

Caring for hydrangea room includes making feeding during the actual growth of the plant. Making the first fertilizers is made at the end of February, when the flower allows new shoots, and then produced 1 time in 2 weeks. For hydrangea, a comprehensive feeder is suitable for flowering plants.

To get a colored hortensia bush worth making 2 types of fertilizers from different sides of the pot:

Ammonia-potassium alum at the rate of 10 alum on 2 liters of water. Alum can be replaced with iron salts. As a result, the inflorescences will become blue.
On the other hand, the vase is added to lime, with the result that the inflorescences acquire a lilac shade.
To obtain a homogeneous blue hydrangea, it is sprayed with a solution of aluminum lemon acid (50 g per 1 liter of water).
In the soil with neutral pH grows snow-white or cream hydrangea.

This unique plant property is due to the fact that hydrangea accumulates aluminum. The minimum soil oxidation betray the colors of hydrangea bright color, and for oxidation, peat, sawdust or coniferous substrate can be used for oxidation, and ash or lime is suitable for reducing acidity.
