My new water vessel, Ingrid.

The name Hydrangea, comes from two Greek words... hydro meaning "water" and aggeion meaning "vessel". I’m learning that this variety of flowering plant requires lots of it (water)!

I was recently gifted a floundering indoor Hydrangea. Her leaves were parched and she needed a little attention. My mission now, is to revive her so I can watch her reach her full, flowering potential! I’ve learned that Hydrangeas like cool conditions and soil that is not allowed to dry out. They enjoy bright light but no direct sun. So, I have watered her daily and checked in frequently to watch for progress. It’s only been a few days but, I’m seeing something... Check this out!



Rucchi named her for me. Ingrid Hydrangea.
