@blueacregarden: Want to change the color of your hydrangea blooms? It’s all about the soil! Hydrangeas are unique because their flower color depends on soil pH and aluminum availability. Here’s how you can influence their shade: 🔵 For blue blooms:
• Aim for acidic soil (pH 5.2–5.5)
• Add aluminum sulfate or acidic organic matter like pine needles or peat moss 🌸 For pink blooms:
• Shift to more alkaline soil (pH 6.0–6.5)
• Use garden lime to reduce aluminum uptake ⚠️ Keep in mind:
• Changes take time—don’t expect overnight results
• Not all hydrangea varieties respond (this works for macrophylla hydrangeas) #GardeningTips #HydrangeaCare #GardenEducation #gardening #TikTokLearningCampaign

zukeeknee :

I purchased two blue hydrangeas, added that Espoma soil acidifier, and now they’re pink and red/green. So it sounds like I need to use something with aluminum in it

sohcahtoa36 :

Mine has a mix of colors.

Shyana Dawn :

Carolyn Torres :

I live in CT, if I buy the plant from a nursery, will they bloom this year?

ghostmode1229 :

what color does it turn if not acidic

klassen.hannah :

These hydrangeas grow at a local park. I’ve successfully propagated a few cuttings, but they’ve yet to flower. I’m curious to see how they grow on their own but also wondering what might give them this two tone purple, thoughts?

Angela Nardone :

I’m in Cape Cod. I dead headed mine today. Will they still bloom? I only cut above the highest buds

middlechildmisanthrope :

Thoughts on coffee grounds? Just a myth?

Christina :

How do I make them pink

luckyshamrocks06 :

why wont mine bloom 😔

Whitney Rodie :

I have pine trees dropping a lot of pine needles, can I use that at the base of my hydrangeas to increase acidity?

JB :

Can you identify this please

Marina’s Moments :

So excited to see you on my fyp again 🥰🥰🥰

binderella78 :

Trayc :

Mine are super green now and already have flowers about to open

Jamieandher4saints :

Can it be used near roses I have hydrangeas and roses next to each other

jprangemd :

Does this also count as fertilizer or do you need that as well

Bryant :

Where can you get a soil test

Appaki :

Can you recommend a product with aluminum? I have the product you’re holding and was counting on it entirely!

zalma🍒 :

What if my hydrangeas are white ( Little lime hydrangea paniculata)?

Grant lemoine :

Do you have a recommendation for a acidifier that has both sulfur and aluminum
