Do potted Hydrangea's thrive better when root bound?

Okay, I know the amount of soil %26amp; ph makes a difference with the color of the flowers. Well, I bought my potted Hydrangea recently and it gets droopy about every other day, but I keep it indoors and water it with about 16 oz of water about every other day. Is it root bound?

Let the soil get a little dry, gently lift the plant up by the trunk and look to see if it is root bound. No plant likes to have limited access to food and nutrients. The soil should be allow the roots to grow out. Add some moisture retaining pellets to keep from having to water the plant every day and place bark or moss on top to retain the water. Watering once a week should be your objective.
