*Compatibility*: The Hydrangea macrophylla 'Wudu' is compatible with a wide range of plants commonly found in shade gardens or container settings. Avoid planting near aggressive root systems that could compete for resources. Regularly check the plant for any signs of pests or diseases and take appropriate action if needed.
*Care*: Pruning is best done after the flowering season. Remove any dead or damaged stems. Mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Ensure proper air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
