Common Problems and Fixes

• Yellow leaves: May indicate overwatering, poor drainage, or lack of nutrients.

• Wilting: Often from underwatering or root damage.

• No blooms: Check for too little light, improper pruning, or fertilizer imbalance.

• Fungal spots or powdery mildew: Improve air circulation, avoid wetting leaves, and use a fungicide if needed.

 Tips for Growing Hydrangeas Indoors

Though typically outdoor plants, hydrangeas can thrive indoors with care:

• Place near a bright window with filtered sunlight.

• Keep humidity high using a humidifier or misting.

• Water consistently and ensure proper drainage — never let the pot sit in water.

• Use containers with drainage holes and quality potting mix.

 Final Thoughts

Hydrangeas are stunning, rewarding plants that can thrive with the right care. By paying attention to their water, light, soil, and pruning needs, you can avoid the common pitfalls that lead to weak or dying plants.

Whether you’re growing hydrangeas in your garden or in containers at home, consistent attention and care will be rewarded with lush foliage and breathtaking blooms season after season.
