Hydrangeas thrive in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with a pH level that can vary depending on the desired flower color. For blue blooms, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5 to 6.5) is ideal, while pink flowers prefer neutral to alkaline conditions (pH 6.5 to 7.5). Incorporating organic matter, such as compost, can enhance soil structure and fertility, promoting healthy growth. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot and ensure optimal hydration.
