應該「避免種植在繡球花旁邊」的 5 種植物 - 以及原因

繡球花是一種美麗的灌木，為花園提供獨特的色彩，包括粉紅色、藍色和紫色。然而，並非所有植物都是繡球花的朋友。

Hydrangeas are a beautiful addition to any garden, but they can be particular about their neighbors. Here are five plants that you should avoid planting next to hydrangeas, according to Lindsey Chastain, the founder of The Waddle and Cluck.

繡球花是任何花園的美麗補充，但它們對鄰居也很挑剔。 The Waddle and Cluck 的創辦人 Lindsey Chastain 表示，以下五種植物應避免種植在繡球花旁。

1. Azaleas

1.杜鵑花

Both azaleas and hydrangeas produce attractive foliage that comes in many colors, but they do not make good companions. Azaleas prefer acidic soil, while hydrangeas thrive in soil with a pH that ranges from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. If you try to adjust the soil pH to suit one, you might end up harming the other.

杜鵑花和繡球花都會產生多種顏色的迷人葉子，但它們並不是很好的伴侶。杜鵑花喜歡酸性土壤，而繡球花則在pH值從微酸性到微鹼性的土壤中生長茂盛。如果你試圖調整土壤 pH 值以適應其中一種，最終可能會傷害另一種。

2. Black walnut trees

2.黑胡桃樹

Another plant to avoid is black walnut trees. These trees produce a substance known as juglone, which is toxic to many plants, including hydrangeas. The juglone is released into the soil and can stunt the growth of hydrangeas or even kill them. Moreover, walnut trees produce heavy shade which will inhibit the ability of hydrangeas to use photosynthesis.

另一種要避免的植物是黑胡桃樹。這些樹木產生一種稱為胡桃醌的物質，對包括繡球花在內的許多植物有毒。胡桃醌被釋放到土壤中，可以阻礙繡球花的生長，甚至殺死它們。此外，核桃樹產生的濃蔭會抑制繡球花進行光合作用的能力。

3. Invasive species

3. 入侵種

Plants like English ivy or bamboo can quickly take over garden space, crowding out hydrangeas and other plants. Their aggressive growth can limit the space hydrangeas have to grow and can compete for nutrients in the soil.

英國常春藤或竹子等植物可以迅速佔據花園空間，排擠繡球花和其他植物。它們的侵略性生長會限制繡球花的生長空間，並爭奪土壤中的養分。

4. Sunflowers

4.向日葵

Sunflowers are known to be allelopathic, which means they release chemicals into the soil that can inhibit the growth of other plants. Additionally, their large size and need for sunlight can overshadow hydrangeas, depriving them of necessary light.

眾所周知，向日葵具有化感作用，這意味著它們會向土壤中釋放化學物質，從而抑制其他植物的生長。此外，它們的大尺寸和對陽光的需求可能會遮蓋繡球花，剝奪它們必要的光照。

5. Water-hungry plants

5. 缺水植物

Plants like willows or birch trees that require a lot of water can compete with hydrangeas for moisture, leading to water stress. Hydrangeas need a lot of water, especially during the summer months, and competition for water can hinder their growth and blooms.

柳樹或樺樹等需要大量水分的植物會與繡球花競爭水分，導致水分壓力。繡球花需要大量的水，尤其是在夏季，對水的競爭會阻礙它們的生長和開花。
