Temperature regime. During the growing season - about 20 degrees, and during the dormant period - from 7 to 10 degrees.

Humidity. Needs high humidity. On hot days, the bush should be moistened as often as possible with a spray bottle.
Fertilizers. Fertilizing is carried out in the period February-October. For this purpose, a mineral complex for flowering plants (heather, azaleas and rhododendrons) is used, and fertilizers are applied to the soil twice a month. In winter, the plant does not need fertilizer.

Transplantation. It is carried out only for indoor hydrangeas every year, and its life expectancy is from 3 to 4 years.
