Hydrangeas?

I have a potted hydrangea that was thriving really well up unitl this week. I water it every other day or every 2 days. I give it lots of sunlight(maybe too much??) I dont know much about flowers, can some one tell me how to care for these?
Hydrangeas?
Hi:

Hydrangeas can be temperamental. I agree with the first answer as Hydrangeas do need acid in their soil make up. The amount of acid will determine the color of your flowers.



I am a landscaper and designer and it sounds like you may be watering the Hydrangea too much. Hydrangeas do well in the ground, but with you having it in a container, make sure your container is big enough to allow the root systems to grow properly and mature. Hydrangeas can take sun but will do well in partial shade. I will link you to the garden project section of my website. There is a page on Hydrangeas that may help you out.



I hope this has helped some and if you need further help, let me know. I will also link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if you can find any other articles, tips or techniques that can be helpful. Good luck with your Hydrangea and have a great day!

Reply:YOU NEED ACITIC SOIL FOR THE FLOWERS. SO YOU SHOULD ASK A LOCAL NURSURY OR GARDEN STORE ON HOW TO GET IT TO BE MORE ACITIC. THIS TYPE OF SOIL ALSO DETERMINES FLOWER COLORS
Reply:It sounds like you are growing this as a house plant so i would cut back the water and fertilize with a brand for hydrangias at half strength i hope this helps.
