drooping hydrangea branches

Question

I have a hydrangea that was planted a little over a month ago. A couple of the branches are drooping. The others are fine. It’s had plenty of water, so that’s not the problem. What causes the drooping? What should I do?

Answer 1

It is likely transplant shock. This article will help with that:

You may want to just give it a bit more water. If it is getting a little more sun than the others, it may need additional water to get itself established.
