watering
Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Enziandom') requires moderate watering during the growing season with deep soaking for optimum growth. Water deeply about every 7-10 days during the summer and when the temperatures are above 90°F water every 4-5 days. However, avoid overwatering, as this may result in yellow leaves or root rot. During winter months, the plant requires considerably less water, once every month, depending on the climate.
sunlight
Bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Enziandom’) prefers a bright, but shady location. It should receive about 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Too much sunlight can scorch the foliage and cause sunburn. Morning sunlight is best for this plant species as it is the least intense light at that time. Alternatively, if planted in an area that receives more than 6 hours of direct sunlight, provide partial shade or shade cloth to filter the intensity of the light.
pruning
Bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Enziandom') is suitable for pruning in late spring, after the blooms have faded and before new growth appears. To prune, remove any damaged or dead stems, followed by any suckers or stems that are rubbing against 1 another. Afterward, cut the length of the plant back by 1-third. Lastly, thin out the overall plant by cutting out any excess branches. Doing so will create a more aesthetically pleasing look while also ensuring the plant has enough air circulation.
