How can I tell if my hydrangea turning brown is from under or over watering?

Not always. Causes are

Too much fertilizer  
Too Hot/Excess Heat  
Underwatering  
Soil PH Levels

Rule them out and find your solution hopefully. I’d say it’s probably a natural concern like heat. That would be my guess

I would also like to figure this out ! A neighbor has some pretty blue ones, I’ve been watering their yard wondering if they’ll come back full bloom

If you mess with Ph it might change the color so be careful lol 🤪
