Hydrangea quercifolia aka Oakleaf Hydrangea

Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Oakleaf Hydrangea due to its easy-going nature.

Oakleaf Hydrangea should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Oakleaf Hydrangea loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Oakleaf Hydrangea thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Oak Leaved Hydrangea.

During the wintertime, it's common for Oakleaf Hydrangea to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.

Oakleaf Hydrangea is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

The Oakleaf Hydrangea is not in need of supplementary humidity. Most water is taken in by plants through their roots, thus soil watering is the most efficient way to provide humidity to your plants.

The growth of Oakleaf Hydrangea is not rapid and it doesn't necessitate any extra fertilization. By replacing its potting soil once a year, it should receive ample nutrition. It is important to note that plants obtain their energy from the sun's rays, not from fertilizers.

Oakleaf Hydrangea grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.

Oakleaf Hydrangea’s native range is Asia and the Americas.
