How do I save a hydrangea?

I planted this hydrangea in a large pot, it wilted the next day, totally drooped over. So we replanted it under a shade tree next to some other hydranges, it is still wilted. Can I save it and how??

How do I save a hydrangea?
Hi:


I am a landscaper and designer. Hydrangeas need the right soil to properly grow. They do like some acid in the soil. They can take sun, but if it is hot in your location, the Hydrangea can very well be under shock. Loosen the dirt and add some organic mushroom compost to the soil. This is an organic fertilizer that will last up to one year. Make sure you are watering properly. If you weather is humid and hot, the Hydrangeas need water. It sounds like your plant is in shock. When growing this plant specimens, it is good to know if you have acid in your soil.





I will link you to the variety of more plant section of my website. There is a page on Hydrangeas. I will also link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. There are many articles, tips and techniques that may give you some additional information. I hope some of this information helps. Good luck, and have a great day!
