Hippeastrum

AmaryllidaceaeKeep it completely dry for 8–10 weeks from late August, then restart it for Christmas blooms.

Hosta

AsparagaceaeProtect the emerging shoots from slugs in spring – blue-leaved kinds are tougher.

Howea

ArecaceaeCopes with low light and dry heated air – one of the best palms for darker rooms.

Hoya

ApocynaceaeNever cut off spent flower spurs – it reblooms from the same spot.

Huernia

ApocynaceaeKeep it above 10 °C in winter or the stem bases rot easily.

Hyacinthus

AsparagaceaeForcing needs 10–12 weeks of dark, cold (5–9 °C) pre-chilling.

Hydrangea

HydrangeaceaeBlue on acidic soil, pink on alkaline; only thin out bigleaf hydrangeas in spring.

Hylotelephium

CrassulaceaeCutting it back by half in early June keeps it compact so it doesn't flop when flowering.

Hypericum

HypericaceaeHarvest the flowering tips around midsummer on a sunny morning.

Hypoestes

AcanthaceaePinch the tips regularly to keep it bushy rather than leggy.

Hyssopus

LamiaceaeCut it back to just above the woody base in spring to keep it dense and compact.
