I just planted a hydrangea plant yesterday. Today it became very droopy- what do i do???

Did you water heavily after-wards? Then just relax, it is called shock and it will pull out of it. No?! You didn't water? Well, do it now!

Mine does this all the time. Especially on hot days. I water it and it perks up. It's only been in the ground for a year, but it's doing ok.





I think that if you water it like twice a day and make sure it gets enough water when it's reallly hot, then it will be ok.
Reply:Water it like crazy.
Reply:I would keep on watering it at soil level. They do better in a semi shaded area. I would also use a transplanter liquid to help with the shock of transplanting. I wouldn't fertilize it yet, let it recover from the shock of planting.
Reply:Keep it well watered and give it time to get used to its new digs.
Reply:Hydrangeas are easy to grow. They prefer full sun to partial shade. In warmer climates, put them in a more shaded area, to reduce wilting in the midday sun. They prefer moist, rich, loam soil that drains well.





When planting, add generous amounts of rich compost. Add mulch yearly to help retain soil moisture, and to replenish nutrients for the plants. Keep the soil moist the entire season to promote lush growth and big blooms. Add a general purpose fertilzer monthly.





Flowers will begin to bloom in mid summer. Remove spent blooms. This will promote more blooms. To grow bigger blooms, thin some of the stems.





Prune bushes back in winter to early spring. If the bushes become too big or winter damaged, they can be cut back close to the ground.
