Water deeply and thoroughly 3 times a week when establishing a plant. Use a slow release fertilizer when possible. Mulch a plant to retain moisture. If a leaves are drooping, it is time to water a plant. If a leaves are yellowing and turning brown, check for standing water or a clogged drainage hole.
It is important because damaged leaves and stems can actually be an energy drain on your plant. By removing those dead parts, you're taking some of that work off your plant’s plate and allowing it to divert its energy into healthy leaves and new growth!
Effectively, a hydrangea should be able to sustain a temperature of minus-10 degrees. But in the real world, temperatures as low as 12 degrees — and late fall or early spring freezes — may reduce the flowering capability of this hydrangea.
Whether it be plastic or clay, make sure the pot you select has drainage holes in the bottom to prevent over-watering.
