frequently asked questions

How do you care for the hydrangea?

To properly care for hydrangea cut flowers and prolong their life, it is first important to cut the stem at an angle with a sharp knife. This promotes water absorption by the stems. Also cut off any leaves that would be submerged in water. This prevents rot and bacterial growth. Next, place the flowers in a clean vase with fresh water. It is important to change the water every few days to keep the flowers fresh. Also put the vase in a cool place, out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources such as radiators. This way, you extend the shelf life of these beautiful cut flowers.

How are the different colours of hydrangea created?

Hydrangea come in many different colours. This is due to a combination of genetic factors and the pH of the soil in which they grow. The initial colour of the hydrangea is determined by the type of pigment present in the petals, ranging from white to purple and blue. In acid soil, a hydrangea usually develops a bluer hue, as the pigment binds aluminium ions in an acidic environment. In less acidic soil, the hydrangea tends towards pink or even red, as the pigment can absorb less aluminium. If the soil is neutral or slightly alkaline, the hydrangea cannot absorb aluminium ions. Instead, they produce flowers without any colour pigments, resulting in white flowers.
