How Do I Care for Hydrangeas?
Hydrangeas are
gorgeous flowers and are a favourite addition to both vased arrangements and
bridal bouquets. As pretty and premium as
they are, they have been accused of giving mixed messages: “I’m easy to care
for” and “Oh look, you gave me water but I’m still gonna wilt”. 
Are they easy to
care for? Yes. Do they need you to “tilt” your head to the
left and stand on your right leg?
Somedays, yes! “Hydra” comes
from early Greek and means water. The
mere inclusion of this term has hydrangeas longing for water and more
water. Clean water, of course! Anytime your hydrangea is out of water, for
even a few minutes, always give it a fresh cut on an angle before inserting it back
into water. A fresh cut keeps the stem
open.
Hydrangeas are
one of the few special plants that draw moisture in through both their multiple
florets AND their leaves on the stems.
For best results, remove as many leaves as possible so the water goes
directly to the florets.
