Cum pregătești hortensiile pentru iarnă? Află ce trebuie să faci pentru o înflorire abundentă anul viitor • Newsweek România

Preparing hydrangeas for winter involves proper pruning, root protection, and soil preparation to ensure abundant blooms next season. Different types of hydrangeas require specific care, especially regarding pruning and protecting flower buds. It's crucial to identify the hydrangea variety in your garden, as some bloom on new growth while others on old stems. Avoid cutting back large-leaf hydrangeas in the fall to preserve flower buds. Watering before frost is essential, especially in dry conditions, and applying a layer of mulch helps protect roots. In colder areas, additional protection like leaf-filled wire cylinders or burlap may be necessary. Over-fertilizing should be avoided, and potted hydrangeas need extra care against cold. Proper winter preparation leads to more flowers in the following year.
