Yes, the Hydrangea macrophylla is generally easy to maintain. Make sure the plant receives enough water and light, and prune it as needed to maintain a nice shape. Otherwise, the plant does not require any special care.

Yes, the plant needs a lot of light but avoid direct sunlight. Place the plant in a bright location near a window facing north or east. It is important to rotate the plant regularly to promote even growth.

Water the plant one to two times a week, depending on the size of the pot and the temperature in the room. Make sure the soil is always lightly moist, but not waterlogged. In winter, the plant may need less water.

The plant does not like direct sunlight and prefers to be placed in a spot with indirect light. Too much sun can damage the leaves. It is therefore better to place the plant in a location where the light is filtered.

Yes, the plant likes warmth and thrives best at an average room temperature between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius. It is important for the plant to be in a warm place, but away from direct sunlight. Therefore, it is recommended to place the plant in a warm and well-lit room.

Yes, the Hydrangea macrophylla is known for its air-purifying properties and can help to purify the air in the house from harmful substances. It is a good choice for indoors, where it can help improve the air quality.

It is important to remove the faded flowers in the spring. Cut dead branches and thin branches completely. Thin out the bush by cutting back some older branches to the base.

Regularly give water to the plant and make sure the potting soil is always moist. However, avoid letting the roots sit in water, as this can lead to root rot. Preferably water at room temperature and occasionally add plant food for healthy growth.

For this houseplant, it is important to choose high-quality potting soil that is slightly moist and well-draining. A mix that is rich in nutrients and provides good drainage is ideal for healthy growth. It is advisable to regularly replace or top up the potting soil to provide the plant with enough nutrients.

The Hydrangea macrophylla thrives best in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH level. It is important that the soil is adequately moist but not too wet. Add organic material if necessary to improve soil quality.

Water the plant regularly and ensure that the soil doesn't dry out. Prune the plant in spring to promote shape and growth. Place the plant in a bright spot, but not in direct sunlight.

To clean the plant, you can gently dust the leaves with a soft cloth or feather duster. Remove dead or damaged leaves and flowers regularly to promote the plant's health. Occasionally spray the leaves with water to remove dust and increase humidity.

The optimal temperature for this plant is between 18°C and 22°C. Make sure to protect the plant from draughts and sudden temperature changes. If the plant is placed in a too warm environment, it can lead to leaf burning and drying out.

The ideal humidity for this plant is between 40% and 60%. To increase humidity, you can regularly mist the leaves with water. Excessive humidity can lead to mold and diseases, so make sure to have good ventilation in the room.

The Hydrangea macrophylla thrives best in acidic to neutral soils with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. A too high pH can lead to difficulty in nutrient uptake by the plant. It is therefore important to regularly test the soil and adjust the acidity if necessary.

The Hydrangea macrophylla requires regular fertilization during the growing season, from spring to autumn. Use a fertilizer specially formulated for flowering plants to stimulate growth and blooming. Over-fertilizing can lead to reduced blooming and health problems for the plant.
