They grow like weeds: Here's what to feed hydrangeas at the end of March?
Crazy trick.
TL;DR
- Hydrangeas require adequate fertilization to produce large blooms.
- Gardener Pam recommends bone meal as an effective natural fertilizer for hydrangeas.
- Bone meal is a rich source of phosphorus, which aids root establishment, and calcium, which supports root health and nutrient uptake.
- The fertilizer helps plants grow well by providing sustained energy for growth and flowering.
- The ideal times to apply bone meal are in spring and late summer.
- Apply a small amount (1-2 teaspoons) by gently pressing it into the soil around the plant's base and lightly raking it in.
- Always water the plant after applying bone meal to help it absorb the nutrients.
- It should be applied only once or twice a year.
