# Hi! We’ve had this hydrangea plant in my yard for as long as I can…

Hi! We’ve had this hydrangea plant in my yard for as long as I can remember. We’re in a heat wave right now and she’s looking a horrible. This app says it’s underwatered but I have been staying on top of watering her. Maybe it’s right, any ideas or tips?

More than likely too much direct sunlight, this also completely scorched mine 😔

Ugh!! We just removed a tree next to her so definitely gonna make it worse. Thank you!

I would def water her more at least. But if you don’t provide some sort of shade soon, it will suffer more 🥺

Do you think a shade cover will work during late morning and afternoons?

#### Audrey replied on 2025-06-25

Yes, I would say 12pm-3pm, at least

Okay thank you so much! I’ll update
