How To Keep A Hydrangea Alive Indoors

Question

I was gifted a hydrangea in a small pot. I am in an apartment and putting it outside isn’t an option. The flowers all slowly got crispy and mom snipped them off. The leaves are left but look limp and wilted in spite of the soil being damp and I don’t want to over-water and totally kill it. I’ve read the article here about keeping the room cool and without air con that’s just not happening. I have plans to move it to a bigger pot this weekend but is there anything else I can do within the limitations of my living situation to keep this thing alive?
