This guy is great. The chatty format is excellent, lots of information passed on just by talking around the subject. He not only has the 'gift of the gab' but more importantly knows the subject inside out.

[@homegardens7682]

Thanks for your kind words.

I thoroughly enjoyed this, in fact. I'm a hydrangea lover and have lots in my acidic garden. I fell in love with pink hydrangeas watching programs from the UK on TV. Our soil here in Vancouver is very acidic, which they love, but blue is the dominant colour. Now they have lots of panicle hydrangeas that turn pink in the Fall and I'm going to give them a go. I have found two species(?) of hydrangeas that are pink, no matter what and I treasure them. Thanks for the video. I have a few hydrangeas in pots and we are about to go below zero next week so I shall put them in the unheated garage with all my other plants in terracotta pots. 👍🏻

Thank's for the great info. Oh, and just wanna let you know i appreciate how delicate you are this your plant, i see all these videos and they're so rough with them🌻

This was BRILLIANT! So glad I stumbled into another great gardening channel to subscribe to👍👍

[@homegardens7682]

Cool. You are most welcome here.

[@christopherjhall]

Looking v cool today. I love hydrangeas and am growing my first this year.

[@homegardens7682]

Sounds good to me.

[@dianac2596]

Great information. I enjoy “how to” videos. Some are just commercials but you really are compassionate about gardening. That’s why I’m subscribing to your channel. I’m looking forward to your other videos. Thank you for all the tips. 🌹

[@homegardens7682]

Nice to meet you Diana. Yes, I love gardening!

[@silvertonguedaywalker9116]

Hi i am new to yiur Vlog. We bought 4 small plants from Sarah Raven we have potted them up in single Pots. 2 now have no leaves the other 2 have some, they are Limelight ones. We we pot them up in larger pots after Christmas. 2are line and the other 2 will be pink. The are so beautiful when they are fully grown and look beautiful in the winter when established.

[@homegardens7682]

Glad your Hydrangeas are doing well. Nice to make your acquaintance.

[@tiamazzola5752]

I love Hydrangeas they are so beautiful. I just planted 7 today, 4 Mophead Bela and 3 Endless Summer. 6 of them in containers. I wish I had seen your video first. You are quite handsome!

[@homegardens7682]

Thanks for viewing Tia! I love Hydrangeas. I saw a beautiful blue one today. Seven is a good amount to plant. Should look nice.

[@renegadetherapist5664]

He's adorable!

[@nadastankovic5245]

Just found your Chanel and really like your knowledge and explanation of growing potted hydrangeas. This year May 2020 I potted my first ever hydrangea in a fake clay pot. I have only one brownish terra cotta colour and small blooms. I live in Southern Ontario, Canada zone 4-8?. I’m saddened that no blooms and one bloom is small like 3 inches wide. Hydrangeas are hard to grow for me and than I have to learn how to prune them. Maybe next year I can plant it in my tiny garden. Gets plenty of sun. Used compost, and regular potting soil. 😩

[@homegardens7682]

We are zone 8b in this part of the UK. We have zones roughly 6-10 in the UK depending on location. You may be able to fin a variety more suitable to your location. Hydrangea Paniculata could be worth looking into.

[@melissaobrien5014]

great how to Dan :) lovely that you can get different colours .. looking forward to see more!! video is crisp and sharp great content as always!

[@theresekastning2334]

Hi Dan, where should the potted Hydrangea be stored in the winter? Thank you in advance for your help.

[@homegardens7682]

Hello. It should be ok outdoors year round if you are in the UK. The flowers may benefit from frost protection though.

[@guyjulius8078]

I have a poorly place hydrangea, being it gets too much sunlight, but I use it only for early cutting propagation. I now have a lot of planters full of hydrangeas everywhere.

[@lamlam7526]

Hi Dan, thanks for sharing your video. I am new to gardening. I bought a small hydrangea (about 10 leaves and 5 inches height) from Wilko three months ago and I planted it in a pot. Referring to the label on the pot, it should have pink flowers. It is growing bigger in these few months but the color of leaves are light green. But some of them are turning to light yellow in these couple of weeks. I do not know what happens. Do I need to add vinegar in the water to water the plant because the water in UK is hard? I do not know how to fix the problem. Please advise.

[@homegardens7682]

Hi! You may have to wait until later this season or next year for the flowers. Regarding the yellowing of the leaves this could be Nitrogen deficiency. Try a feed. You can buy Hydrangea feed mix. Also, overwatering can cause nutrient deficiency by washing away nutrients in the soil. Try watering generously just once or twice a week. Hope that helps. Let me know how you get on.

[@jasminefrench1223]

I really miss New Zealand, our soil was fantastic for growing stuff. I now live in Sydney, Australia and seriously you've got two options: 1. Super duper sandy, 2. So much friggin clay LOL Hydrangeas will be my next project this year, and I can't wait! Soil mixture will be a tricky one to perfect however.

[@homegardens7682]

I have never been to New Zealand. I imagine it's amazing there.

[@jasminefrench1223]

Oh its brilliant! Stick just about anything in the ground and it will grow. I have seen people pull plants out of the ground and sort of leaving them on the side of the road and they come back to life again growing crazy

[@Marco-ys2he]

Tips for growing Watermelons in containers is to use Westland "farmyard manure" mixed with a general multi purpose with some coffee grounds. I did quite well with that as you have seen before! :) And tips for being resourceful (some I have learnt from you Dan!) is to get soil from molehills, cowpats from grazing cattle, even if it is just a few bags it makes a difference and coffee grounds from your coffee shops (waitrose) leaf piles and horse manure.

[@homegardens7682]

good stuff there Marc. Cowpats are incredibly good for plant nutrition. Your giving me ideas now.

[@williamj.stilianessis1851]

One in the city must think outside the box indeed. I went to my local pet shop and bought the least expensive tank strata. (stones). A bag needed for my 20 inch pot (depth) was about $8.00. Not bad for a well drained plant vs soil leaking out the bottom of the pot.

[@homegardens7682]

Good thinking!

[@hazelhatswell4268]

Best instruction video ever! Thank you sooooo much! I’m now well and truly subscribed 👏🇫🇷👏

[@homegardens7682]

Cheers for viewing!

[@renegadetherapist5664]

Great video! I just subscribed. I'm in Florida and I just bought a star Hydrangea, it was on clearance, they just finished flowering here in FL.,gorgeous large flowers. I have a yard but I'd like to keep it in a pot. And...you are very cute!!

[@homegardens7682]

Thanks for viewing. Greetings to Florida.

[@barrycartwright8400]

i bought hydrangea paniculata vanilla fraise last month cant wait till its fully grown

[@lyndacupit4686]

I once had the prettiest purple hydrangea in my flower bed! I wish I had thought to get a cutting from it when we moved. Although I would have to amend the soil to get that color again!!

[@homegardens7682]

Sounds lovely. I am thinking of making another Hydrangea purchase myself. Thanks for viewing.

[@loveyastillthen8994]

Great info! You answered my concerns about pot size

[@homegardens7682]

Excellent.

[@4ndy123]

My local B and M has an excellent outdoor garden area. Really good quality compost and top soil.

[@homegardens7682]

Some good stuff!

[@tonbitstv1814]

How often do you water it?

[@homegardens7682]

Once or twice a week depending on the weather. Deep water ideally.

[@AllenOxendine]

Thanks for sharing, my wife loves Hydrangeas

[@renegadetherapist5664]

I also save my broken pots, you can use the pieces instead of stones for drainage.

[@homegardens7682]

Certainly can and it's a great bit of recycling.

[@eduardochavacano]

I want lots of these flowers on pots too.

[@homegardens7682]

Enjoy

[@ThedaBurke]

Great day. Hope all is well and I hope you can assist. I am an appartment dweller. I purchased a begonia and hydrangea. How can I effectively put them to sleep (indoor potting) without killing them and they being able to flower next spring? Help. Can you tell I'm a newbie?

[@homegardens7682]

Hello. Are you in a tropical climate?

[@ThedaBurke]

@@homegardens7682 no. NYC

[@homegardens7682]

The climate there should be fine for Hydrangeas.

[@homegardens7682]

Best thing would be to try and find a place to out them outside in the Autumn so that they can get their period of Winter dormancy.

[@mrsillywalk]

I have one in a pot in contact with the soil. It seems to act as a pump as it is always filled to the top with water, when others remain normal. Poking sticks through makes no difference!

[@joannesmith3991]

any idears why my lovely blue hydranga has gone from a sky blue to a dirty green colour im told i need to plant it in potting soil not compost , can you help ty

[@homegardens7682]

I'm sorry I dont have an exact answer for you but this can happen. Hopefully next year they will return to their original colour.

[@kimmyceeisme]

Using only compost will usually burn the roots so that may be the problem. Idk. But I do know that a mixture of potting soil AND some compost mixed together is best. The compost helps to feed the plant.

[@barnsgold]

Lots of helpful tips thankyou.

So you never got back to me regarding my Concord grape vine I purchased from Naples.... I'm going to plant it south facing but in the ground or pot ....or would undercover be wiser. I figured you would have a better idea than me ....lol 👍

[@homegardens7682]

Go undercover Beebob if you can and take cuttings after a few years. There you go!! xx

[@homegardens7682]

In the ground if possible xx

I feed my plants making bon fire ash and wee and its great combined .

Yes!

[@tambij]

I have tried many times to grow my favorite flower “Hydrangea”. I planted 3 blue hydrangeas 2 years ago, I’m left with only 1 that looks like it may die. I’m in US zone 5. Any suggestions? 🌺🍃🌼

[@homegardens7682]

Hey. They like organic matter like rotted manure and good quality compost. Try some ericaceous compost if your soil is light. Water regularly but not too much to avoid browning of leaves. Full sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon is good to avoid burning of the leaves and flowers. Let me know if that helps.

[@g-max2810]

Home Gardens it helped me 😃

Cool.

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

I went the over way I like ground growing lol 😅

[@homegardens7682]

That is very effective! Large Hydrangeas in the ground look great.

[@StoneWallFlower]

This is the most long winded repot I’ve ever seen 😂

[@sicplano]

I was thinking the same but I’ll add that I enjoyed the chattiness of it. Life is so fast paced these days and it’s nice to mentally amble through things. Kind of like a vine through our garden.

[@jonathanblake1868]

Looks like Sergio from kasabian

[@homegardens7682]

That is actually a new one!

[@sarawestwood3427]

Had mine for over 10 years but it never flowers :(

[@homegardens7682]

Prune in late Winter (Not to hard though). Dont overhead and water regularly. They like full Sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon. Enjoy!

[@TamVo-uk8je]

Try fertilizing your plants! That really will boost the blooms!

[@marijuanicole]
