I have 2 vividly blue hydrangeas, how can i change one to pink without shockin?

They are a good 50 or 60 feet apart, and are both blooming bright blue. I would like one to be the pretty pink color i have seen, but don't know whether to increase or decrease the pH of the soil or how to go about so that the plant doesn't die of shock.

Hello,


i found this link a while back. I thought it was VERY informative!!


This guy shows you how to change the color of these flowers! Easiest for you to just go look at it, very good!
Reply:Add lime to raise the PH for sweeter soil


pink = girls = sweet.





BTW It will not happen over night, and you will want to test the soil periodically as you attempt to raise the Ph gradually.
Reply:my grandmother just emptied coffee grounds around the base of them.
Reply:I have pink ones here and I could buy a blueing agent from the nursery but the other way round I don'tknow . Just ask your nurseryman for help
Reply:It is easier to change from pink to blue, and if you want them a deeper like purple color bury some rusty nails close too but not touching the roots...check out this site for the blue to pink:)

Reply:dilute a tablespoon of "lime" in a gallon of water and water the plant with this mixture for the next 2 or 3 waterings and it will eventually raise the "ph" in the soil which will give u the pink color ur after!
