What could cause my hydrangea to do this??

I bought it 2 days ago. It was beautiful yesterday and today it looks like this. Put it outside a few hours ago hoping it would help but it seemed to make it worse.

Extreme conditional changes like moving it from inside to outside abruptly will be very harmful. This looks very thirsty. Has it been watered recently? I’ve never seen a hydrangea thrive in a pot like this

I'm new to the plant life😣 I noticed it drooping today so I put it outside a few hours ago hoping the sun would help but it got worse quick. It was watered 2 days ago when I brought it home. What kind of pot do you recommend? This is what it was in when I received it.

I’ve honestly never seen a hydrangea potted, they really like to be planted in the ground I think, but I’m no expert. Those blooms won’t bounce back but the leaves will be ok. I’m guessing because it’s potted like this it might have different watering reqs

When you water make sure you do so until the water runs out of the bottom of the pot to make sure it’s thoroughly wet

They need to take in water through the leaves apparently. Try putting it all the way in a bucket of water or watering with a watering can for it bit. Maybe move it back inside to a sunny spot. I killed mine really quickly through sooo… they are just picky.

Ohhh this makes sense. Outdoor shrubs, getting rained on, ground water

This happened to my beautiful hydrangeas too! They were also potted. I moved them to a shadier spot and watered them. The blooms afterwards did survive!

Inside or outside?

#### EmJabs님이 2024-05-09에 답변했습니다.

Outside!

Is this the original pot or did you repot?

#### Maddi님이 2024-05-09에 답변했습니다.

Not sure if it's the pot from the store, but it's the pot it was given to me in

#### Sunny님이 2024-05-09에 답변했습니다.

I was wondering if it was recently repotted which can put stress on plants.

As weird as this sounds, hydrangeas are weird flowers… if you’re able to place the flowers face down in a bowl of water for a while or overnight, they’ll look as though they just bloomed. This tip is probably best for when they are cut from root though.

I recently got one from lowes, a beautiful dark blue color. Now they are totally green but still beautiful. Mine struggled at first but I finally found the right spot for it and it is much happier now. On my front porch where it gets some shade. I bet I have to water every other day. I usually water when the top of the soil feels dry. I think the blooms will perk up after a while once it gets acclimated to its new conditions.

#### Maddi님이 2024-05-10에 답변했습니다.

Do you bring it in when it rains? It's been raining like every other day where I'm located so I've been bringing it in and out, but I'm worried it's stressing it out.

#### Anna님이 2024-06-02에 답변했습니다.

Sorry just now seeing this. I have a covered porch so it doesn’t get any rain.

Turns out she just needed some water, she perked back up🥰
