How to Repot hortensia?

Repot your bigleaf hydrangea in early spring every 2 to 3 years to accommodate its bushy growth and avoid root crowding. Choose a container 2 inches larger in diameter to support its expansive roots. After repotting, maintain moist soil and partial sun, ensuring a gentle recovery for this temperamental beauty. Amply drained pots advocate for bigleaf hydrangea's thriving.
