How to plant a garden hydrangea

This plant has been cultivated for several years by experienced summer residents and novice gardeners. Due to the stunning appearance of the inflorescences and simple agricultural technology, it is grown in various regions of our country. To date, more than ninety varieties of hydrangeas are known. All summer residents have the opportunity to select a variety that will meet their desires. And, of course, it will be useful to find out at what time and how to plant a garden hydrangea correctly.

Plant a garden hydrangea - optimal timing

According to selection experts, the best breeding time depends on the method of obtaining young specimens. For breeding:
- By dividing the root system, around the beginning of the spring season.
- With the help of cuttings, from about the second half of the summer season.
- With the help of seeds, around the beginning of the spring season.
- By layering, around the spring or fall season.

This plant, regardless of the variety, is bred by dividing the rhizome, until the buds swell. The process is carried out immediately after the snow cover has melted from the soil, but before this time, until the movement of the juices begins. The spring season is considered a great time to get young plants because the adaptability of shrubs increases in warm weather. Errors in procedures are reduced noticeably. Optimal terms, approximately the second half of the second spring month - the beginning of the third spring month.

By dividing the shrub, this plant is possible only at the beginning of the autumn season. Breeding in the autumn season is possible only in warm regions of our country. It is recommended to plant the divided parts as quickly as possible so that they can adapt to the onset of cold weather.

How best to plant a garden hydrangea

When figuring out how to plant a given plant, it is worth studying the whole procedure in stages:

- Selection of a site on your territory. Finding the right place is quite problematic. It is great when in the morning and in the evening the plant does not need the light of the sun, and at lunchtime it is in partial shade. If this plant is planted with the task of making a border of flowers, it is required to retreat from the paths, allowing the shrub to develop.

- Make planting holes, the dimensions of which depend on the root system of the divided parts. The recommended dimensions are approximately fifty centimeters by fifty centimeters by fifty centimeters.

- Preparation of the land. This plant prefers soil with a pH of 5. Brown peat should be used to make the mixture. Summer residents with experience are advised to prepare a mixture of two parts of garden soil, two parts of humus, one part of peat and one part of sand.

Note! Wood ash, dolomite flour and lime are prohibited ingredients for this plant. They reduce acidity and worsen the condition of the root system.

The steps in this process will be listed below:
- selection of a site for the manufacture of flower beds.
- make a planting hole and fill it with a nutrient mixture.
- place the separated parts so that the root collar is located above the top layer of soil.
- fill the empty planting holes with earth and tamp lightly.
- moisten well with liquid. If the soil subsides, the soil is poured over.
- cover the top layer of the earth with a layer of mulch from spruce or peat sawdust.
- cut branches without touching two buds.

Breeding with the help of offspring is considered one of the types of division of the bush. Most of the varieties grow abundantly at the roots. It is these representatives that show how the seedling material of this plant looks in real life. The shoots at the roots are carefully selected and planted in rows. Cultivation of a young seedling takes twenty-four months. After some time, this plant is planted on a permanent growth site in the country.

Specificity of the variety of cultivation of this representative of the flower culture

With the usual breeding method, when deciding how to divide the shrub of a given plant, it is worth removing it from the soil and cleaning it. The root system is washed in a weak potassium permanganate tincture. Shrubs are divided into separate parts with an integral root system and three to five points of growth.

Note! The root system is trimmed immediately before planting. After planting, the branches are pruned.

The sections of the sections must be covered with activated carbon for disinfection.

Unusual breeding method for this plant:
- to make a digging with a shovel with a space of fifteen centimeters from the bush.
- tilt the shrub, slightly exposing the root system.
- trim the top of the roots.
- move the shrub to the desired place, plant the divided parts.

Dividing the shrub is considered the simplest breeding method and has many advantages. However, it also has one drawback, it can be used exclusively on shrubs.

This plant adapts well to a new site. And with the right agricultural technology, it will not make the summer resident wait for the flowering process for a long time. Be aware that the herbaceous can change the color palette of the buds depending on the soil parameters: moistening with potassium permanganate will give it a pinkish color, and sprinkling metal shavings under the root system will give a rich bluish color.
