I got a hydrangea but im kinda confused how to take care of it on a hot day? i tried to put ice cubes?

Leave it alone. Don't fuss with it. You can plant it in the garden where you can water it once a week. Mulch heavily over the roots to keep them cool.


Enjoy.

Hi:


Hydrangeas will do fine in the ground once established. Hyrangeas are unique plants as the soil plays a big role. Depending on the amount of acid you have in your soil, will result in the outcome of the color of your flowers. I am a landscaper and designer and have seen Hyrangeas that have blue flowers, (The Endless Summer) turn red tones when the acid content isn't right for the Endless Summer.





Your main goal is to get on a watering schedule with your Hydrangea. I live in zone seven and our summers can get warm. Hydrangeas shouldn't be placed out in the blazing summer sun. They need a little shade. Your Hyrangea will do fine if planted correctly in the soil. Add some mushroom compost when planting. This is an organic fertilizer that will last up to one year.





The main goal for you is to make sure it is watered properly. Hydrangeas like any other plant specimen will survive the heat if they have strong root systems and watered. You can also put some mushroom compost, pine straw, or decorative stones around the Hydrangea. This will help retain the moisture in the ground. I hope this has helped some and good luck to you with your Hydrangea. They are beautiful plant specimens.





I will link you to the site map of my website. This page has everything that is on the website. Browse through as there are a lot of articles, tips and techniques that may be useful to you. Have a great day!
