I have a rather large Hydrangea , it hasn't bloomed in 2 years. Can someone tell me why?

The plant itself looks very healthy, %26amp; has no bugs on it.

Here's an excellent site. He lists different reasons why hydrangeas don't bloom and gives some great advice. Goodluck!

Reply:Have you pruned your plant. If so....Stop. Hydrangeas bloom only on second year growth. The canes that are growing this year will not bloom until next year. After they bloom, let them hang out for awhile, and then prune only the canes that flowered this year - I prune mine after the first frost. All the green foliage that you dont prune will flower next year. Most people add acid to the plants to change the color of the blooms...the more acidic the soil, the more blue the blooms will be. You can buy an inexpensive bag of Ammonium sulfate at any garden store or nursery. good luck
Reply:you have a pointer instead of a siter .buy a siter and plant it next to the pointer .and you will be amazed .sort of like birds and the bees.. buy the way send me a check for the sex education class..C U NEXT blooming season..
Reply:check the soil ( with a soil tester) probably needs acid pickle juice or coffee grounds are good
Reply:Maybe it needs fertilizer and also someone told me that hydrangeas are acid loving and need coffee grounds at the base of the plant. I hope I helped and happy gardening .
