    There are a few reasons hydrangea leaves turn purple, which are all covered in this article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/hydrangea/hydrangea-leaves-turn-purple.htm

    My best guess is that the plants are suffering from a phosphorous deficiency, which isn't a big deal. You can apply some phosphorous fertilizer and test your soil's pH (low pH is often the cause of phosphorous deficiency). There's more information about how to do this in the article I posted above.

    It is best to check the soil, instead of watering on a schedule.
    Generally potted plants will need to be watered daily, but make sure you check the soil and that it is draining properly.
    You can 'lift' the pot off of the ground to aid in drainage. Garden centers sell pot feet to set your pot on.

    Personally, I like to mix a a tablespoon of honey, and an aspirin tab into a gallon container, and use this as rooting hormone to apply to the soil through watering. Keep the soil moist, not wet, and do not let it dry out completely until they are rooted. They will do just fine indoors over the winter in a semi brightly lit area.
