Last year i had no flowers. This year i cut them back pretty good and put Rose Tone around both my shrubs once in april and may. This year my plants are gorgeous, large with many flowers. I get many compliments.

My husband decided to "prune" my favorite hydrangea plant (round flowers) back by removing ALL of the "wooden sticks" this year. Basically, removing all of the flowers for this year. 😬These blooms fill my house with flowers for several months each year. I guess I'll have to buy flowers this year!!
I have saved this video for him to watch, so thank you!!

Wealth of information!
I love hydrangeas. It is a sad realization that I have been doing everything wrong. Thank you for educating me.

Simple and to the point. So many videos are complicated that I just let the plants do their own thing. I give fertiziler and water and cross my fingers. Many helpful tips here, thank you.

My H. paniculata never grew well or had much blooms when pruned like is said here (one third or one half). Until I started to only snip off the old blooms and little brown stem later in spring, when the new leaves and buds were already out. Now it grows beautifully tall and big and healthy, and I have more blooms each year! :)

I have 2 hydrangea plants that were grown from cuttings last season. Bought them when they were pretty small still. I brought both inside to my basement for the winter(I live in Minnesota) since I didn't think they were quite ready to be put in the ground when it got cold. They stayed in a hibernation mode until about 2 months ago. At first they were fine and growing new stalks well. Then I noticed curling leaves and wilting. I changed pots w fresh soil and fertilizer when I saw how poor they looked. We had a major swing in Temps last week up into the 80s for about 6 days and it's back to cold and snow. I took them outside for the day during that 6 days. One of the plants was far worse than the other. After going outside the healthy looking one started to look like it's sibling. I've tested the soil in the pots and amending the shortness of nutrients and checked ph which was fine. The one that got sick first lost all new shoots and the buds on the old wood started to yellow and die. I've cut back that one to the closest healthy looking buds on the old wood part. Any suggestions to help get these guys growing and healthy again?
