Pink Hydrangea Plants

What is so special about the pink hydrangea plants?

Pink Hydrangea indoor plants are purely hydrangeas with pink colour. The concentration of the pink colour is influenced by the amount of aluminium in the soil and the soil  P^H.

To achieve the pink colour, your soil P^H should range between 6 and 6.2. This is achieved by adding lime to the soil which prevents uptake of aluminium.
