How To Look After Your Hydrangea. Unless you have pruned your bush back before the cold weather hits a hydrangea. Gently loosen the roots then plant using plenty of rich soil.
Before August spent blooms should be cut back to a larger branch on which new buds are present. Immediately after cutting each bloom drop the stem in the water. They thrive in moist but not overly wet soils.

Hydrangeas can also be transplanted easily but this should only be done during dormancy in fall or winter. As a deciduous shrub hydrangeas lose their foliage and go dormant in winter. Cutting off about 13 of the oldest stems will give you a fuller plant. Hydrangeas should get a deep watering about three times a week.
