Cultivation

Pot culture — Hydrangea macrophylla

Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) Ser.

A cultivation method for container-grown hydrangeas that preserves flower buds on the previous year's shoots through overwintering in controlled environments and allows for the regulation of inflorescence color via substrate pH management.

In the reference 91 varieties crop Bigleaf hydrangea, where this is mentioned in the description.

For Hydrangea macrophylla, pot culture is the primary method for preserving the plant in temperate climate regions, as flowering occurs on the previous year's shoots. During the winter period, plants are kept in protected facilities at temperatures ranging from +1 to +10 °C, which prevents the freezing of flower buds and ensures their viability for future blooming.

The container method provides the agronomist with complete control over the chemical composition of the substrate, allowing for targeted regulation of inflorescence color by adjusting soil acidity. The limited volume of the substrate requires strict adherence to a regular irrigation regime due to the high moisture requirements of the species, as well as the use of specifically selected compact varieties.
