Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil can greatly benefit plant growth. Plants grown in pots can be planted year-round, except during frost periods. After planting, it's important to water the plants until they are well-rooted. The size of the plant determines the number of plants per square metre. For this shrub, approximately 1 to 2 plants per m² are recommended. For more detailed planting instructions, consider the specific needs of the plant.

Pruning a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White'

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White' benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Pruning is best done in early spring before new growth begins. This helps remove any dead or crossing branches, which can improve air circulation and prevent overcrowding. Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can also promote new blooms. Use clean, sharp secateurs or pruning shears to make precise cuts and prevent disease. Regular pruning not only enhances the plant's appearance but also supports its vigorous flowering throughout the season.

Watering a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White'

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White' requires careful watering to thrive. This plant prefers consistent moisture, so it's best to water deeply rather than giving small amounts daily. Check the soil regularly to ensure it needs water, as overwatering can be harmful. Watering is most effective in the early morning or late afternoon to reduce evaporation. During dry spells, consider using collected rainwater. Ensure excess water can drain away, whether the plant is in the ground or a pot. Drip irrigation systems work well once the plant is established, but initial watering by hand is necessary. This plant is not particularly drought-resistant, so regular attention is needed.

Fertilising a Hydrangea macrophylla 'Forever & Ever® White'

Using organic fertilisers is recommended to avoid root and leaf burn, which can occur with synthetic options. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are excellent choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to support the plant's vitality. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size, so adjust accordingly. Nutrients are absorbed when dissolved in water, so ensure the soil is moist. During dry spells, water the garden to help nutrients reach the roots effectively.
