CARE GUIDE

How to keep Dichroa Versicolor.

Light

The Blue evergreen hydrangea typically thrives in areas with substantial sunlight exposure, yet it can also prosper in environments with lengthy periods of intense sun if adequate filtering is provided to avoid leaf scorch. Its ability to adjust to different sunlight levels stems from its native environment that has varying degrees of sun. Nevertheless, its growth might decelerate if there is an extreme deficiency of light.

Temperature

Blue evergreen hydrangea originates from areas with a temperate climate and grows best in temperatures between 15 and 35 ℃ (59 to 95 °F). Modifying the environment may be necessary in severe weather to sustain ideal growth circumstances.

Fertilizer

The scheduling of fertilizer application is vital for the Blue evergreen hydrangea. Apply fertilizer at the start of spring and keep applying it on a monthly basis until the beginning of summer. Fertilizer aids in the creation of beautiful flowers and provides the necessary energy during both dormant and active growth stages.
