Step 4: Watering for the Beginning Phases
Once you’ve established the right kind of soil conditions in which your hydrangeas can thrive, you want to make sure that you get the watering process right for the first beginning growth phases of the plant. For the majority of different climates in which hydrangeas thrive, watering twice per week is enough – and once per day is too much for hydrangeas as a general rule of thumb, which is one of the most common mistakes which gardeners will make.
Hydrangeas like hydration and soil which can hold moisture, but they’re just as prone to root rot as a lot of other plants out there, and “wet roots” are best avoided. If you want to grow happy hydrangeas, then soil that drains well (and ensures the right nutrients get down to the roots) is for the best results.
Adjust the levels of water if you note that your area is getting more (or less) rain than usual.
