Blue/Purple Hydrangea - Hydrangea macrophylla (13 cm pot)
Hydrangea macrophylla, known as hydrangea, is an elegant ornamental plant highly prized for its lush blooms which—just like the Geranium—is a must-have for any Portuguese balcony, terrace, or garden! Its large, rounded, voluminous flowers, in blue/purple/lilac tones, made up of dozens of small, delicate petals, create a highly decorative visual effect. It usually blooms from spring to late summer, providing a long-lasting display of color and freshness. Besides its beauty, it’s relatively easy to care for. It’s essential to place it in spots with plenty of indirect light (it can’t handle direct sun) and ensure regular watering during hot months without waterlogging—watch out for saucers or decorative pots without drainage holes where water can collect! It’s perfect as a gift or for creating garden borders and colorful corners on balconies or terraces. It’s a plant that adds a natural, elegant, and cozy touch to any environment.

CUIDADOS
Light: Prefers bright indirect light or partial shade. It tolerates lower light, but if placed in a spot that’s too shady, it may not bloom. Do not place the pot or planter/do not plant in spots exposed to direct sun, especially during the hottest hours of the day.
Temperature: Ideal between 15°C and 25°C (avoid temperatures below 5°C or above 30°C)
Watering: Water when the substrate is completely dry. Don’t leave standing water in saucers or decorative pots without drainage holes.
Humidity: Native to humid forests and mountain slopes, it thrives best in cool, damp environments—in southern Portugal, it’s a good idea to plant it in a north-facing spot or next to a wall that provides shade during the hottest months.
Fertilization: Apply an acid-loving plant fertilizer during spring and summer, as indicated on the product label, to promote abundant flowering. Choose a fertilizer for purple/blue flowers to help maintain the color.
Pruning: Deadhead wilted flowers to stimulate new blooms.
Soil: Organic-rich, well-drained substrate/soil with an acidic pH—an ericaceous compost is suitable. Just like with Camellias, Azaleas, Blueberries, etc., it’s essential to grow Hydrangeas in acidic substrate to ensure healthy development.
Not Pet Friendly: Toxic to pets.
Fun Fact: Soil pH influences flower color—more acidic soil favors blue/purple tones. In Portugal, hydrangeas tend to grow very well in cooler, more humid areas where the soil also has a naturally more acidic pH, such as Northern Portugal and the Azores, where they are particularly abundant.
