00:08Identify the hydrangea variety because macrophylla and oak leaf types bloom on old wood,

00:13while paniculata and arborescens bloom on new wood,

00:16and the timing of pruning determines how well they flower.

00:20Amend the soil with organic matter.

00:22Mix compost leaf mold or well-rotted manure to improve soil structure,

00:27moisture retention, and microbial activity,

00:30and add mulch to keep roots cool and encourage larger blooms.

00:35Water deeply and consistently.

00:37Hydrangeas aren't drought-tolerant, so water them deeply two to three times a week

00:42and water at the base in the morning to reduce disease,

00:45while using drip irrigation if you have sandy soil.

00:49Choose the right spot.

00:51Give them morning sun and afternoon shade,

01:05Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring,

01:08such as 10-10-10,

01:10and avoid excess nitrogen to prevent blooms from being reduced.

01:13Add a mid-season bloom booster only if needed.

01:19Protect old wood bloomers from late frosts,

01:22and cover their buds with cloth overnight

01:24so you can preserve the entire summer's display.

01:30Macrophylla color shifts with soil pH,

01:33so use sulfur to encourage blue tones

01:35and lime to encourage pink tones,

01:38and make changes slowly so the plant stays stable.

01:41Mulch to maintain moisture and regulate temperature.

01:44Apply 2-3 inches of organic mulch

01:47and let it retain moisture,
