应该“避免种植在绣球花旁边”的 5 种植物 - 以及原因

绣球花是美丽的灌木，为花园提供独特的色彩，包括粉色、蓝色和紫色。然而，并非所有植物都是绣球花的朋友。

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.

绣球花是任何花园的美丽补充，但它们对邻居也很挑剔。 The Waddle and Cluck 的创始人 Lindsey Chastain 表示，以下五种植物应避免种植在绣球花旁边。

1. Azaleas

1.杜鹃花

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.

杜鹃花和绣球花都会产生多种颜色的迷人叶子，但它们并不是很好的伴侣。杜鹃花喜欢酸性土壤，而绣球花则在pH值从微酸性到微碱性的土壤中生长茂盛。如果你试图调整土壤 pH 值以适应其中一种，最终可能会伤害另一种。

2. Black walnut trees

2.黑胡桃树

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.

另一种要避免的植物是黑胡桃树。这些树产生一种称为胡桃醌的物质，对包括绣球花在内的许多植物有毒。胡桃醌被释放到土壤中，可以阻碍绣球花的生长，甚至杀死它们。此外，核桃树产生的浓荫会抑制绣球花进行光合作用的能力。

3. Invasive species

3. 入侵物种

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.

英国常春藤或竹子等植物可以迅速占据花园空间，排挤绣球花和其他植物。它们的侵略性生长会限制绣球花的生长空间，并会争夺土壤中的养分。

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.

众所周知，向日葵具有化感作用，这意味着它们会向土壤中释放化学物质，从而抑制其他植物的生长。此外，它们的大尺寸和对阳光的需求可能会遮盖绣球花，剥夺它们必要的光照。

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.

柳树或桦树等需要大量水分的植物会与绣球花竞争水分，导致水分胁迫。绣球花需要大量的水，尤其是在夏季，对水的竞争会阻碍它们的生长和开花。
