Hydrangeas Dropping Leaves and Buds? A Simple Solution from TerraBloom Nursery Hydrangeas, known for their vibrant blooms, often suffer from leaf and bud drop. This issue, common among home gardeners, can be frustrating. But according to TerraBloom Nursery, a US-based gardening expert, there's a simple solution. The nursery, known for its US-only shipping, recently shared a video outlining a technique to revive struggling hydrangeas. "Many people don't understand that hydrangeas are acid-loving plants," explained the nursery in their video. They often use tap water, unaware of the alkalizing substances it contains, leading to weakened plants. The solution? Every 10 days, mix 5 liters of water with 5 grams of baking soda and 10 milliliters of white vinegar. This mixture effectively adjusts the soil's pH, creating an acidic environment that hydrangeas thrive in. "This method will make your hydrangea leaves lush and green, and the plant will bloom abundantly," the nursery claims, demonstrating the results with healthy, vibrant hydrangeas. This simple, cost-effective solution offers hope to gardeners struggling with unhealthy hydrangeas, promoting healthier plants and beautiful blooms.
