CUIDADOS<\/strong>
Light<\/strong>: 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<\/strong>: Ideal between 15\u00b0C and 25\u00b0C (avoid temperatures below 5\u00b0C or above 30\u00b0C)
Watering<\/strong>: Water when the substrate is completely dry. Don’t leave standing water in saucers or decorative pots without drainage holes.
Humidity<\/strong>: Native to humid forests and mountain slopes, it thrives best in cool, damp environments\u2014in 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.
Fertilisation<\/strong>: Apply an acid-loving plant fertiliser in spring-summer, as directed on the label, to promote abundant flowering.
Pruning<\/strong>: Deadhead wilted flowers to stimulate new blooms.
Soil<\/strong>: Organic-rich, well-drained substrate\/soil with an acidic pH\u2014an 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<\/strong>: Toxic to pets.<\/p>\n

Fun Fact<\/strong>: Soil pH influences flower color\u2014more 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.<\/p>\n
