Gardeners hoping for lush, vibrant hydrangeas this summer have a simple secret at their fingertips: eggshells from the kitchen.
Experts recommend adding crushed eggshells to the soil around hydrangea plants to naturally boost their growth and flower size.
Eggshells are rich in calcium, an essential nutrient that strengthens cell walls and supports healthy root development in hydrangeas. By sprinkling finely crushed eggshells at the base of the plants, gardeners can improve soil quality and give their hydrangeas the nutrients they need to produce bigger, more beautiful blooms.
This eco-friendly tip not only recycles kitchen scraps but also helps maintain the ideal soil pH for hydrangeas, encouraging a vibrant display of flowers throughout the summer.
Simply save your eggshells, crush them well, and work them into the soil for a natural, sustainable plant boost.
