Just like any other flower, it is important to know how to plant and care for hydrangea flowers and by following the steps mentioned below, you can make money by growing and selling hydrangea effectively and efficiently and even a home gardener can save time.
Right Time: The best time to plant hydrangea is in the fall or even the spring months. Morning or evening is especially good for planting. It is important that the roots are fully developed before the first flowers appear on the plant. Low temperatures at the time of planting are a good sign, and good watering is also necessary.
Choosing the right location: “Bigleaf hydrangea” prefers mild morning sun and afternoon shade, and moist and well-drained soil. Cold or snowfall can damage this plant, so caution is needed in winter and late spring. Therefore, protective equipment such as old sheets, old plastic, etc. should be covered for snowfall and cold. Especially ******************
Species:
Bigleaf hydrangea whose scientific name is hydrangea macrophylla which is also known as its other name French. Another species Japanese or snowball which are both preferred species by greenhouse owners or shopkeepers. In which bigleaf hydrangea is famous for its beautiful and unusual appearance as a landscape or as a recurring flower every year. Those who keep hydrangea as a decorative garden plant in the home garden can change the color of the flowers from pink to brown and from brown to pink by simply increasing the pH level in the soil.
Sowing: If possible, use a large area for sowing. Such as 10 square feet and dig it with the help of suitable tools to a depth of 8 to 10 inches of soil. Then manure and other fertilizers should be added to it. Then the soil should be moistened by watering so that the soil develops its productive capacity.

It is important to remember that if chemical fertilizers are used, they should be used after 4 to 8 weeks. Another important advice is that a layer of 3 to 5 inches of organic fertilizer such as cow dung, dry leaves of trees, etc. should be made and planted, but if you want to use chemical fertilizers, you should not use manure.
If you want to decorate the garden in a landscape style, then it is necessary for you to water it from time to time, especially when the flowers start to bloom on this plant.
When do flowers not bloom?
A question also arises that under what circumstances do flowers not bloom? In answer to this question, it can be said that in most cases, in the case of bigleaf hydrangea, when the flower buds have been damaged due to excessive cold or snowfall, or when the plant is in too much shade or when excessive nitrogen fertilizer has been given, the possibility of not blooming increases.
Pruning at the right time can also be an important reason.
Usually, the flowering time of this plant is summer days and if pruning is done during this time, the possibility of possible flowers growing decreases to a certain extent.
Right time for planting: Where you want to plant hydrangea is also important. In my opinion, if you want to plant it as a flower bed in the home garden, it is an excellent option and if you want to plant it around the fence, it gives good results. Flowers of this species like sunlight, but they like the gentle morning sun but the afternoon sun is harmful. It is also necessary to think a little about the surrounding environment, such as if a strong wind blows around the seedlings, it can damage the leaves and tender buds and flowers of the plant and where direct sunlight falls in the afternoon, shade should be arranged. Of course, they should not be allowed to grow in the shade of trees either because it hinders their progress, they should be grown on the north or south side of the house.

Propagation: Propagating from one plant to another: Successful propagation depends on how efficiently it is done. For example, bigleaf and panicle are particularly important in this species.
The best method for this is to dig a small hole near your original hydrangea, bend a hydrangea branch and plant it close to the ground and then cover it with soil. For this, you should choose the time of early or mid-summer. Finally, after waiting for a few days, roots will grow from it automatically. Then you can plant the seedling in the place where you want to plant it.
Separate the newly sprouted hydrangea part from the branches inside the ground and plant it separately from the main hydrangea.
Care: It is true that hydrangea is a very delicate and beautiful plant, yet it is not a plant that requires much care. Like other species of plants, it also needs plenty of water and that too in the initial stages keeps the plant alive and happy. Especially in its growth stage, watering it 3 times a week helps its roots develop very well. By giving it a good amount of water, its leaves and flowers remain fresh and flexible in abundance. Which makes it more attractive. And for the harsh afternoon sun of summer, you can give it water in the morning. For this, the method of “soakerhoses” can be used effectively and it can deliver water to the roots of the plant efficiently.
Fertilizer: The amount of fertilizer is given differently to different species such as panicle and oakleaf species are given fertilizer once in April and again in the month of JUNE and other smooth varieties of hydrangea are given fertilizer in the last days of winter.

While bigleaf hydrangeas are given very light fertilizer in the months of March, May and June.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Choose improved seeds: Another popular variety is known as the “French hydrangea”. You can easily find it at your local nursery or greenhouse.
Whatever plant you choose, it should have uniform branches on all sides. Especially in the spring and early summer, choose plants with freshly sprouted flower buds and flowers that are ready to bloom. The leaves should be bright green and the plant should not show any signs of weakness. Some varieties of hydrangea are greenhouse-grown and developed varieties that are displayed on special occasions such as Friendship Day, Easter or Christmas.
Use good soil:
To successfully plant this species, the soil should not be hard or compacted, but it should be well-drained and if it is hard soil, at least 3 inches of soil should be ploughed and organic matter such as dry leaves, green vegetable waste, manure etc. should be added to it so that French hydrangea can grow effectively in such soil. In addition, the soil temperature should also be measured from time to time.

Proper sunlight requirement: As mentioned above, this species requires gentle morning sun and shade in the afternoon. There is also a possibility that a pest called “spider mites” may also get infected in excessive sunlight. Also, being more delicate and delicate plants, it is possible to avoid excessive exposure to the sun’s heat, which can cause the leaves to fall or the plant to wither.
Pruning: When the flower is going from bud to full flower, it is necessary to prune or pluck the flower buds or break and remove other developing buds so that the plant gets the energy it needs to grow. It is important to note here that the hydrangea buds move towards flower formation in the last days of summer, so it is advisable to avoid pruning after August 1st.
It is often seen that in a very severe winter, the tender leaves, branches and other parts of the plant are damaged, then such parts should be removed, otherwise the plant will repair the damaged parts, but it will be at the expense of the new flowers and will also damage the plant’s hardiness to some extent.
Watering: If you are planting hydrangea plants in a plant pot, then there is a risk of them drying out quickly, so it is necessary to water them at the right time. But giving too much water can cause its roots to rot, so it will be appropriate to give it moderate water. The best option for this is that you should check the soil every week by inserting your finger in the soil, if the soil is wet by 1 inch of your finger, then it can be assumed that the watering process is in the right direction.
Especially on hot summer days, you should check the water every day. Also, water should not be given to the roots or to the leaves. Excessive wetting of the leaves can cause a disease called powdery mildew.
The above points can be summarized as follows.
(1) It is true that spring and autumn are the best times for sowing, but it should also be kept in mind that if the temperature goes above 85 degrees, then sowing or new sowing should be avoided. In addition, a suitable place should be selected for sowing.
(2) The soil should have the above amount of salts for plant growth and rapid growth of the plant, if not or the soil is too sandy, then natural fertilizers should be used or other fertilizers should be added.
(3) If you want to grow it in a flowerpot, then the following 4 species are the most popular, in which
