My hydrangea is wilting. I removed it from the ground and potted it so I could control sun exposure and water levels. It’s still wilting. Am I overwatering it?

Probably a bad time to transplant. They are sensitive. Be consistent with the watering schedule you had and give her time to adjust and recover from the shock
