I like the "bluerple" colour jaja Very well done, by the way. Thanks

Wow Lovely Flowers ^^ Like it My friend, thank you for good sharing Have a good relationship

[@leiaclark8388]

For the blue color I feed my hydrangea coffee grounds. Two years ago, I fed it a lot of coffee grounds and it was a very intense blue. Last year I didn’t feed it nearly as much in coffee grounds and it was a noticeably less intense blue. Pink hydrangea does sound pretty. Maybe I can feed it some old baking Soda or expired milk.

[@sofis4608]

Do you have to mix the coffee ground into the soil or can you sprinkle it on top of the soil?

[@cutexlily9717]

can I just add fresh coffee ground?

[@leiaclark8388]

[@mawmawdowling4]

Thanks for your tips on the hydrangeas. I have pink but want the blue. Now I know what to do!

[@shopgirllewis]

+Saundra Dowling Mix the lime and AS together and you can purple

[@mawmawdowling4]

+J Gray Goose Thank you so much! Got the lime and AS yesterday.

[@beadsofparadise]

Very well done, exactly what I was looking for. Very clearly explained and precise!

[@ManekiNeko50]

p.s. I want to stress the message in this video... YEARS... I think a lot of people expect instant gratification and nature doesn't work "Instantly". He didn't say how long it would take to change the colors of the flowers, but he did say YEARS so don't expect to go to bed and wake up to a rainbow.

[@billyandrew]

Not so. See my earlier comment. It produces the desired result the _following_ year!

I have some in a container. They're more light pink at the moment, but it's the weirdest plant because it goes blue, pink, burgundy and green.

[@pacomarveeny9640]

I have a potted Hydrangea that does the same. I bought it with no label.. I think it might be the “Revolution” variety.

[@rosavatel4735]

Thank you for the great tips on how to change the color of hydrangeas. I have too many pinks and want some blue ones.

[@billyandrew]

Tea bags or rusty metal, introduced around the roots does the job efficiently. I've used this method successfully for decades.

[@SandyKH]

For what color?

[@billyandrew]

@@SandyKH Red or blue.

[@Luckingsworth]

Yup! Planting a rusty nail at the base of the plants is the classic trick.

[@hdy2569]

Thank you so much for this very clear and straight fotward explaination, I was exactly looking for someone to tell this You should b a teacher .. 💖💖💖💖💚💛🧡❤💜

[@anitahaney9496]

Thank you for making it so simple.

[@caseroo]

When should you add the alum+water? Does it matter? Should I do it in the spring?

[@dougsimons7475]

You had a very good explanation for changing colors.....much appreciated. But I have been told that many of the newer cultavars will not change colors as the older more common hydrangeas. I planted one called "Forever Pink" two years ago and it was a very pronounced pink....... This year, 2022 it is a very pronounced blue and I added nothing. Can you you explain? is it just my soil is too basic in PH.......... ????

[@elvisfranco5738]

Thanks for the info, would be trying on my hydrangeas.

[@lindapapa2565]

Thank You so very much! Blessings!

[@somebody_me_th]

Wow..this is amazing. Can we do the same concept to other flowers to turn pinkish or bluish this way, too?

Beautiful flowers sir.

[@ashtonmendoza6209]

Who else is here because your hydrangeas are boring white

[@angelkotilainen]

How does he know I slept through chemistry class 😂😂

[@pepercat17]

I let go and let God- and low and behold! My hydrangeas are a deep rich purple! One that I've not seen before in hydrangeas. I adore the color- and now I know why they are such a color. My soil is neutral! Love it

[@perennial-garden]

Still one of my favorite videos! Thanks for sharing.

[@aprilwaller123]

so do you need to add lime every year to the plant?

[@colinbryan8265]

This is so true. I read about aluminium sulfate too. I didn’t have any, so I got me a piece of alloy and ground it down on my grind stone wheel. Took the grindings and put them in a pint of water, and poured it on the roots. The same year I had blue hydrangeas. Just couldn’t believe it. Ain’t KZbin fantastic? Will report what happens in 2021,

[@fateh.khursheed]

How can I change color of "Tabernaemontana divaricata" flowers from white to Red, Blue, Yellow or any other color?

[@phoenixaomi2390]

So sad there's not even a single reply .. needed some information

[@arrowlaylowpepper]

The vid is 10 years old. You can find current info on P. Allen Smith Garden Home. He has an extensive video on Hydrangeas and many other plants.

[@shilpisinghal6079]

Very useful rare information. Thanks a lot sir.

[@TheGreenpetal]

I will give it a go. Do you know anything about Hellebores and why they change colour...…… would that also be about the PH.

[@edelinyo]

Thank you! very helpful information!

[@la196]

It's now (obviously fall) here in southeastern MI. I will be putting my new hydrangeas in this weekend. If I chose to add it, should add it in the spring to give them time to get somewhat established first?

[@paru60]

Thank you for explaining.

[@ep1929]

I changed mine from pink to blue by putting rusty nails in the roots.

[@billyandrew]

Ikr. Used rusty nails for decades. Tea leaves or bags has the opposite effect.

[@jakefriesen326]

Are they Outdoors or indoor flowers what is the reason why their flowers are laying down all numb

[@PhilLesh69]

Is it changing color as a result of the aluminum, while aluminum sulphate lowers pH? Or, is it changing color as a result of lowered pH, and aluminum sulphate is just one way to lower pH? In other words, does it need aluminum or acidic soil? Or, both?

[@hassinatokhi1887]

I've only ever used teabags to turn them blue or a few rusty nails to turn them red. (Or is it the other way round? Lol) Anyway, you've now given me the option of a third colour. Much obliged!

My hydrangeas were pink when we planted last year. Now they are growing white. What happened?

[@paradisoperduto4900]

N Bee Your soil changed.

[@billyandrew]

The soil in the pot was of a different acidity balance to that in your garden.

[@a4eyg32]

I have yellow sulphur? Is it the same as what you use

[@RRAMir]

Aluminum sulfate is not available here locally neither any online company ships here any soil acidifier ( if any please let me know). Can I use sulfur instead of aluminium sulfate to make soil more acidic for blue hydrangeas.. please help.... Thank you.

[@user-ks7qi5vb8b]

Rr Mir if you drink coffee you could use coffee grounds that worked on my hydrangeas

[@billyandrew]

Rusty nails, pushed into the soil, near the roots, will produce blue flowers.

[@billyandrew]

@@user-ks7qi5vb8b I thought coffee grounds turned them light yellow. Maybe that's if you start with blue or white.

[@julie4613]

If you're hydrangea is white can you still manipulate the color

[@Rudhayaini]

Thanks for the video. It made understanding the process easier. But I was wondering, I got myself a small mop-head 2 weeks back. When I got it, it was a sort of whitish. And then after a few days it started changing color and now it's lavender-ish and day by day it's becoming blue. So, I was wondering, does this mean that my soil is acidic? Or does it have something to do with the fact that I have been keeping the plant in a shaded area?

[@thequiltedkitchen]

what about to keep them white?

[@bobbrawley4544]

The Quilted Kitchen who wants white? That's your great grandma garden. This is modern times. We got black multch. You wouldn't want to go back to wood color multch now would you?

[@normacid5144]

WHAT ABOUT WHITE??

[@TaLeng2023]

Is aluminum sulfate the same alum powder sold as deodorant?

[@christinep.]

My hydrangeas used to be a nice blend of pink and blue (kind of a lavender), then as they settled in with the soil they just turned pink. For 3 or 4 years I have tried different acidifiers to turn them blue. But instead, they end up white. Ok, I know add some lime to make them pink again right? But how will I ever get to blue? (they are the type that is able to do this)

[@KyaniMosaic_Crone]

I homeschool my daughter. 2 years ago I gave her an ongoing science experiment & let her change the Blu Hydrangea we planted to pink. I used the old Irish trick my grandpa taught me, 3 rusty nails stuck in the soil around the roots.

My soil is very alkaline and my 5 year old Nikko blue hydrangea has kept it's delicate blue. I've never done anything but water it.

[@hrperformance]

I've seen single plants with all three colours. How does that work?? I just assumed that all the flowers would change at the same rate, but perhaps what I saw was a plant in transition and different parts of the plant change colour at different rates?

I've had endless summer hydrangeas for 5 years. This year the normal pink blooms are very, very pale. (we've had a lot of rain and I suspect that is the cause?) What do I need to add the soil?? (I was gradually adding the aluminum sulfate to make it blue which is what I want)

If I plant a few hydrangeas near my hostas, will the aluminum sulfate be a treat to the hostas? This will be my first go with the hydrangeas. One thing is, the location I'll be planting the hydrangeas once had a 40 ft pine tree that was taken down after an ice storm. I'm thinking that soil should be on the acidic side.
