A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Droopy Hydrangea

I planted a couple of Hydrangeas shrubs about 2 weeks ago near the corner of my house. Mostly sun with some after noon shade starting around 2-3pm. I noticed yesterday that one of them was extremely droopy. I don't mean the leaves they looked fine, but top 3-5 inches of each stalk was pointing downwards. It was still droopy this morning. The soil was rather moist as it had rained earlier that day, so I know its not water shortage. They were fertilized with miracle grow when they were planted. The two plants are only a few feet apart and the second plant only showed minor dropping (2 or 3 stalks and only an inch or 2 turned down) but it perked up in the evening yesterday?

Any other suggestions what caused it?

Do you water them daily ? At first one should .

Only when it was when it was hot or the tope few inches of soil were dry, they day i noticed the droopy one the top three to four inches were quite damp. Its been overcast the last few days and it seems to have perked up.

Sometimes it takes a bit for the roots to settle in their new home..just give them time and keep them watered as Dodge stated.

will do, rhanks
