Potted Hydrangea Winter Watering

Question

I have potted hydrangeas that are on a covered porch. Should they be watered during the winter? Should I encase them in plastic or wrap the containers? Thank you for you help.

Answer 1

If it's already been accustomed to an indoor environment, then you could bring the plant inside for overwintering. Otherwise, you will have to provide adequate cold protection, such as wrapping the container/plant. Also, it will require watering only about once a month.
