Fall is the time for hydrangeas to begin preparing for dormancy. Large hydrangeas that have been severely pruned have the advantage of a large root system that has excessive capacity, and its roots are capable of supplying all of its energies to a smaller...

Organic additions to the soil can also be combined with a shot of chemical fertilizer for maximum effect. If the soil naturally contains aluminum, one must try to keep it away from the hydrangea's system.

This is a very loose estimate, so please read the directions on the fertilizer before applying it. When looking at most fertilizers, they are described by three numbers on the bag.

During the second season following the severe pruning, the hydrangea should resume normal bud setting, and the plant should have healthier blooms because of the increased vigor in the plant.

If the plant is leggy when you purchase it, shear the plant back hard by 1/3 to 1/2 its original size. After back filling and lightly compacting the 50/50 mix of existing soil and compost give the Let's Dance Rhythmic Blue Hydrangea a good deep watering.

A good rule is that you should still be able to see the soil the plant was grown in after back-filling the hole. Although these hydrangeas may have been lovingly cared for by the previous owner, it may be necessary to severely prune these plants to restore...

For example a one gallon pot would be watered until you count to 5 a three gallon pot would be 15 and so on. Also, plants with insufficient amounts of Phosphorus may have poorer root systems.

We do not recommend using straight topsoil or compost as a back-fill soil because more times than not these products will retain entirely to much moisture and will cause the root system to rot.

If you can find a fertilizer formulated for shrubs and trees, this fertilizer would work well on hydrangeas. If you are looking for a fertilizing routine tailored to your specific conditions, a soil sample should be taken and the fertilizer and trace...

Water using the counting method for the first few weeks. Plants that are deficient in Potassium, are usually growing more slowly than normal, have fewer flowers and seed, and are more susceptible to disease than plants with adequate levels of Potassium.

Sometimes, the growth is taller and longer with less than desirable branching when Nitrogen is deficient. We suggest when planting your newly purchased Invincibelle Spirit II Hydrangea plants that you dig a hole twice as wide as the root system but not...

It is a naturally occuring beneficial fungus that colonizes on the new growing roots of plants. This is useful if you want a uniform border and height control, but it can result in bunchy growth and knobby stems that may be more susceptible to aphids...

If you are looking for a fertilizing routine tailored to your specific conditions, a soil sample should be taken and the fertilizer and trace elements matched to the needs of your soil.

We do not recommend using straight topsoil or compost as a back-fill soil because more times than not these products will retain entirely to much moisture and will cause the root system to rot.

If there are too many main trunks, a few may be pruned out completely depending on the form you desire. Somewhat heavy fertilization will help maintain its' foliage color, but don't overdo it.

Depending on the quality of your existing soil you may need to add a locally sourced compost or topsoil to the back-fill soil. Either method is fine and occasionally its okay to cut the plant a little harder than you normally would shrubs.
