How much watering does a small hydrangea plant need daily?

Certified ExpertA.You only need to water it daily if it is outdoors and in a container. If it is outdoors in the ground, you can water 1-2 times a week so that it gets at least 2-3 inches of water, including rainfall. If it is indoors in a container, then water when the top of the soil just starts to feel dry.

August 4, 2011Q.Hydrangea Bloom
I have a hydrangea plant that was gifted from my dad off a cutting from one of his plants. This plant blooms pink early, but after the first blooms die off, a second wave of flowers does not appear, and the plant appears to look sickly. I water and feed often, but it still does not bloom throghout the summer. I prune it in the spring.

August 4, 2011Q.Hydrangea Tree Blooms
My hydrangea tree has many, many blooms but the blooms do not open out to the end of the bloom. This has been a problem ever since I planted it three years ago. The tree appears quite healthy.

My hydrangea leaves turned brown. What can I do?

Certified ExpertA.This could be a number of things--too little or too much water, over fertilizing, leaf scorch (if planted in too much sun), etc. It may help to prune the plant to help rejuvenate it. Here is an article you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/hydrangea/prune-hydrangea-bushes-hydrangea-pruning-instructions.htm
In general, you want a fertilizer that is higher in phosphorus. This helps with blooming.

August 8, 2011Q.Black Spot on Hydrangea
I keep getting black spots on my hydrangea, which makes the leaves yellow and then they fall off. My flowers never bloom. I have tried several professional solutions to no avail. Will the baking soda, water and dish soap do the trick? My other hydrangea so far is OK.

Certified ExpertA.It could be either black spot or sooty mold. Both are treatable and in most cases, not fatal to the plants. These articles will help:

August 9, 2011A.I read that Hydrangeas get black spots because of too much hot sun. I have the same problem and plan to move mine in the fall to an area where they get morning sun and afternoon shade. It's just too hot and even the Pee Gee Hydrangeas, which like all day sun, are loosing leaves.

August 12, 2011Q.Hydrangea-Propagation
I am new at this and don't understand the instructions. It says cover the pot with a plastic bag, making sure that the bag does not touch the leaves. Is that over the top of the pot (like a hot house) or around the pot to keep the soil warm?
