Do hydrangeas that I´ll keep in our home like direct or indirect sunlight?

We live in Germany, and I don´t understand all of the directions in Deutsch.





Does this plant like direct or indirect sunlight?





How often does it need water?





Is there something natural I can feed it instead of chemical food?

Do hydrangeas that I´ll keep in our home like direct or indirect sunlight?
first of all i just want to say i never ben to germany but i work at a nursery so heres some tips * Most hydrangeas enjoy morning sunlight with peppery afternoon shade.


* Keep your hydrangeas growing happily with a nice layer of mulch around the base of the plant.


* Only prune your hydrangea to remove dead wood or to shape the plant after it has bloomed.


* Aluminum sulfate may be added to the soil around your hydrangea plants to turn pink hydrangeas blue.


* Lime may be added to the soil around your hydrangeas to turn blue hydrangea blooms pink in color.


* Adding a balanced fertilizer late in the Winter or early in the Spring is all that is usually needed to properly feed hydrangeas.


* Keep hydrangea plants well watered during dry spells.


* Fresh cut hydrangea makes a wonderful bouquet for special occasions.
Reply:They don't mind the shade although they can grow leggy keep trimmed back to fresh growth after the flowers have died off.


They are beautiful I treated myself to 3 plants last year they are in one of my shadiest spots I don't think they care for too much sun. But most things enjoy a bit. I live in the east of England.
