Certified ExpertA.This is a tricky situation. If your other hydrangeas are the large leaf variety, then they will flower on old wood. If you live in an area where it gets cold, and they die back, then they may not ever flower. Here is an article that will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/hydrangea/hydrangea-not-blooming.htm

Certified ExpertA.This depends on your area. If you are in an area where the plant goes completely dormant, then you will only water once a month. This will be enough to just keep it alive. Overwatering will lead to rot and eventually the death of the plant. If the plant does not go dormant, than you will need to treat it like it is growing still. But this would all depend on your climate zone.

December 7, 2017A.I wish I had a picture! This could be a fungal condition. Make sure your plant is watered at the soil level to keep the leaves dry. Afternoon sun on wet leaves is a known hazard for fungal growth. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. The top one inch should dry out between waterings. The spots could be damage from a recent cold snap; if this is the case, the plant will recover nicely. If the brown spots seem to be spreading, remove the affected foliage and any debris under the plant. If the condition continues to worsen, apply a fungicide rated for hydrangeas. Water the plant the day before application and follow instructions thoroughly.

Certified ExpertA.At the very most, you will water once a month in there. They only need enough to keep them alive. Any more than that and they have the high chance of rotting.

January 31, 2018Q.Hydrangea
Moved to south Mississippi last August. Existing flower beds included hydrangea that had what we determined to be fungus. We sprayed with fungicide. Problem never got better but they survived. I was going to cut them almost to ground in late winter/early spring as some resources recommend, but because of our mild winter, they have begun to bud along existing stems. Help!

January 31, 2018A.Hydrangea pruning differs on the plant variety.
Since it is not clear what type of fungus that you are dealing with it is difficult for me to help you determine a treatment method.
Since you treated with a fungicide, you should likely wait out the results and health of the plants during this growing season.
