non flowering hydrangea email this discussion to a friend?

spiritualgirlygirl (6)3 years ago

I have a hydrangea that just wont flower. It was planted probably 8 - 10 years ago and has never flowered. I was thinking maybe the ground is not acidic enough, but I guess the acidity/ alkalinity just determines the colors of flowers. I'm stumped... any help out there????

Have you tested the soil? Is the ground fertile?Hydrangeas don't flower until the fall so it's a bit early right now .

I saw a program once about a fruit tree that wouldn't bear fruit
for many years,so the owner had a horticulturist come to take a look at it.Nature always seems to provide living things with the instinct of survival .What the horticulturist did was to take a
sledge hammer and slammed the tree numerous times.This seemed to alert the trees instinct to survive by bearing it's fruit.

I know that this seems outrageous,but what have you got to lose?

One of plants' instinct when they are about to die is to force itself to propagate. We do this fake killing of the plant by letting it go thirsty for a while. Do not water it regularly.

Another is using contraceptive pills in these plants. Just place 4 tablets in the soil and for 6 months to one year the medicine will take effect. After that time it will be very fertile and will bloom.
