Blue is the color of the plant if aluminum is present. When it is present in modest amounts, the color is &#8220;in between,&#8221; and when it is not present, the blooms are pink.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soil pH indirectly influences flower hue by altering the availability of aluminum in the soil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aluminum is often more accessible to the roots in acidic soil (pH 5.5 or lower). When the soil is neutral or alkaline (pH 7.0 or higher), aluminum availability decreases and blooms become more pink.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spread 1\/2 cup of wettable sulfur per 10 square feet and water it in to gradually change the color of the flowers from pink to blue.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make the blossoms pink, sprinkle one cup of dolomitic lime per 10 square feet of soil and water it in.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This treatment may take up to a year to produce a visible difference in blossom color.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Failure to Flower<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failure to flower is a common issue while growing hydrangeas from cutting. Winter injury to the flower buds, growing the plant in too much shade, using too much nitrogen fertilizer, or trimming at the incorrect time of year can all cause this. Bigleaf hydrangea creates bloom buds for the following year in late summer, therefore trimming in late summer, autumn and winter will destroy the future flowers. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-438695cc header2-subhead e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"438695cc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5756e2c8 things-h elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5756e2c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Pruning<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b091e66 header2-open-img elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b091e66\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardening-website.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/assets\/blogs\/Petunia+%26+hydrangeas+webp\/h+cuts.webp\" title=\"\" alt=\"pruning growing petunias\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52bf4bad header2-text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"52bf4bad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the blossoms on bigleaf hydrangea begin to fade, prune them.

The pathogen can enter the nursery via Phytophthora-infected container stock or cuttings. Pathogen survival structures (chlamydospores and oospores) and mycelia of this pathogen can be found in infected roots, crowns, other crop debris, and contaminated potting media. Excessive watering and poorly drained potting soil can both raise the level of Phytophthora root rot disease in container-grown hydrangea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Symptoms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Phytophthora root rot symptoms include abrupt wilting and yellowing of the foliage. Infected hydrangea roots may show dark discoloration, which can also be observed on the crown at the soil line and the stem above the soil line.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Prevention<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Sanitation, cultural practises, and chemical treatments can all help to avoid Phytophthora root rot. Good water management is the most critical factor. When growing hydrangeas, it is critical to avoid waterlogging and to combine the plants according to container size and irrigation requirements. To avoid contamination, potting material should be stored on a raised cement pad above the bare ground. Cuttings should be taken from symptom-free stock plants.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57ac60bc subhead-txt e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"57ac60bc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77bd09ed things-h elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"77bd09ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">There you go! <\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-269bdf3d know elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"269bdf3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growing hydrangeas from cutting is an excellent way to add additional herbs to your garden beds and borders.
