What is the best fertilizer for Miss Belgium hydrangea?

Answer 1

Compost and nutrient-rich seed starting mix for sowing and transplanting and liquid, non-nitrogen-heavy, organic garden fertilizer and organic mulch in spring describe the best fertilizers for Miss Belgium hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Miss Belgium'). The mulch must have at least a 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) separation between when it begins and the hydrangea base ends and must not be mounded any higher than 2 to 3 inches (5.08 to 7.62 centimeters). Any fertilizer schedule needs to be coordinated with light checks of partial shade to full sun, with moisture checks for upper 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) of soil no drier than a wrung-out sponge, with soil analyses (since Miss Belgium hydrangeas require soil pH levels between 4.5 and 5.0) and with space checks of 48 inches (121.92 centimeters) between plants.

Answer 2

Miss Belgium Hydrangeas are generally easy to grow with little required maintenance. If the plant is doing well, consider adding only organic matter, like compost or peat moss, that will improve the condition of the soil. If the plant is waning some, you can add a slow-release, balanced fertilizer formulated for shrubs and trees once a year.

Answer 3

Do not apply any fertilizer containg lime.
