Hydrangea

[Breakingpoint1961]

I have an Hydrangea in a pot, very established but not looking good. Can anyone tell me what I need to do with it? It was given to me some time ago, but looking somewhat forlorn now.

Lots of water and feed it if it’s in a pot as it may have depleted the nutrients. Do no chop the dead flowers off before spring.

@Hollyhead thank you for your response..do you mean I should NOT deadhead the flowers?

Can you move it into a bigger pot ?

Yes, don’t deadhead until spring, the flowers protect the plant through colder weather.

They're also very easy to take cuttings from (anya the money saving gardener does some good demos on instagram) - you could try that so that if it was a gift and you want to keep it, you can.

@DustyLee123 the pot is already quite big.

There is new growth so I'm hoping all is well!
