Can’t believe I’ve been doing this wrong this entire time

Many gardeners inadvertently hinder their hydrangeas’ growth by making common fertilization mistakes. These errors can range from over-fertilizing to using the wrong type of fertilizer. Understanding these mistakes is crucial to avoiding them and ensuring your hydrangeas receive the nutrients they need without causing harm.

One of the most common mistakes is over-fertilizing with nitrogen. While nitrogen is essential for plant growth, too much can lead to excessive leaf production at the expense of blooms. This results in lush foliage but few flowers. It’s important to use a balanced fertilizer and follow the recommended application rates to avoid this issue.
