hydrangea

The hydrangea (Hydrangea angustipetala 'MonLongShou' GOLDEN CRANE) requires moderate to frequent watering. Water every 3-5 days when the top few centimeters of the soil is dry. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months. Soil should be kept consistently moist, but never soggy. Make sure to avoid letting the soil dry out completely. In warm or especially hot weather, this plant may require more frequent watering. Monitor the soil’s moisture content to make sure it never gets too dry.

Hydrangea angustipetala 'MonLongShou' GOLDEN CRANE plants need a minimum of 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight, preferably in the morning. Too much afternoon sun may cause the plant to become stressed and scorch the leaves. Placing the plant in full sun will also cause the plant to dry out quickly, so it should be kept well-watered during the warmer months. In the winter, the plant should be kept in dappled sun or bright shade to protect it from cold temperatures.

Prune Hydrangea angustipetala 'MonLongShou' GOLDEN CRANE twice a year. Lightly prune during early spring, just before new growth starts. This will help shape and encourage new blooms. Prune again in late summer, using thinning cuts to open up the plant. Remove no more than ⅓ of the overall length of the shoots, being careful not to cut older, brown leafless stems. This pruning encourages bushier growth the following year. Avoid heavy pruning as it may reduce flowering.
