Bring the hydrangea into the house in good time
The hibernation of the hydrangea lasts from November to the end of March. Since many hydrangea species develop their buds in the previous year, potted plants should be moved to winter storage before the first night frosts.
The optimal conditions in the cellar
The basement room for the wintering should ideally be two to ten degrees warm. Ventilate the room daily so that the humidity can escape and the shoots and buds do not start to rot.
Don't forget to pour
Make sure that the soil in the flower pot does not dry out too much, which then clumps and suffocates the roots of the hydrangea. Water the plant moderately but regularly whenever the top inches feel dry.
Tips & Tricks
As soon as the hydrangea sprouts again in spring, you can give it more light. First, set up plants by the hour the balcony or the terrace, so that you can slowly get used to the changed conditions.
