They are a good 50 or 60 feet apart, and are both blooming bright blue. I would like one to be the pretty pink color i have seen, but don't know whether to increase or decrease the pH of the soil or how to go about so that the plant doesn't die of shock.

To make pink hydrangeas turn blue, mixture 4 tablespoons of aluminum sulfate right into a gallon of water, and pour the mixture around the backside of favourite vegetation. Repeat this technique returned in 3 weeks. Now you only would desire to attend a 365 days. that isn't any longer trouble-free turning blue!!....

dilute a tablespoon of "lime" in a gallon of water and water the plant with this mixture for the next 2 or 3 waterings and it will eventually raise the "ph" in the soil which will give u the pink color ur after!

It is easier to change from pink to blue, and if you want them a deeper like purple color bury some rusty nails close too but not touching the roots...check out this site for the blue to pink:)

Add lime to raise the PH for sweeter soil
pink = girls = sweet.
BTW It will not happen over night, and you will want to test the soil periodically as you attempt to raise the Ph gradually.
