# We bought this hydrangea on Saturday and it doesn’t seem to be doing…

_Pubblicato da Hydrangea il 2023-06-20_

We bought this hydrangea on Saturday and it doesn’t seem to be doing great. I repotted it and have only watered it once and it rained today. Not sure what the leaf color means and they are curling up. Any ideas?

It looks like it either is getting too much sun or it needs to be watered more? I do not know where this beautiful girl lives, but I grow a lot of Hydrangeas in Northern California. I have to water them twice a day this time of year.

I will also add, when my soil looks as dry as yours, it’s time to water mine in. When I say water, I really soak that soil.

Okay that’s good to know because idk anything about plants but I’m trying to learn. I saw to water them like 2-3 times a week…and it’s in full sun. At the store it said it needs 6+ hours so that’s where I put it

So a tag may say 6+ hours but that really depends on your growing zone. I’m in a zone 8a, smooth hydrangeas get morning to mid morning sun with dappled shade/ shade from the midday or scorching sun. Where as my panicle lime light hydrangea gets dappled shade and late afternoon sun.

Sorry, my Little lime.. Not Lime Light. Is yours a Tuff Stuff Hydrangea?

#### Hydrangea ha risposto il 2023-06-20

It just said bigleaf hydrangea so I don’t even know . How do you know your growing zone?

Just google what is the growing zone for your location. It’s crucial for growing your outdoor plants successfully.
