Soil
Hydrangea prefers well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. The soil can be neutral acidic with a pH between 5.0 and 8.0. To increase the acidity of the soil, you may add sulfur, pine needles, or coffee grounds to the soil. To increase the alkalinity of the soil, you may add lime or wood ash.
Pruning
It is recommended to prune your Hydrangea during the spring season. Pruning should focus on removing only the withered flowerheads and any dead parts of the plant. When making cuts, place the pruning shears below the flowers and just above the new buds.
Propagation
Hydrangea can be propagated through softwood cuttings taken in the early summer or hardwood cuttings taken in the late fall. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and place them in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide bright, indirect light.

Container
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Tiffany Violet' can be grown in containers, making them a great addition to patios, balconies, and other small spaces.

Unlike Hydrangea macrophylla, Tiffany has cap-like flowers, blue or pink in color, with twisted petals. You can change the color of the flowers by altering the pH of the soil: acidic soil will produce more purple blooms, while alkaline soil will produce pink blooms.
