Hydrangea

[Miano19]

Hello all.

I bought a hydrangea just over a week ago from B&Q. I was told that it would be fine in a pot with general all purpose soil as long as I added some Westland Ericaceous food to it. Fast forward a few days and the plant now looks highly dehydrated and looks very floppy. I have watered it regularly and I have ensured that i haven't overrated it.

Any advice on how to bring my plant back to life ?

How much fertilizer have you applied to the plant?

... and does that pot have drainage holes?

Just the one

Others here with more experience may give you more useful advice, but I suspect you have been sold a "duffer". Okay the weather and feed may not have helped, but that plant does not look good. Do you have details of the type of hydrangea it is, and did you tell them you wanted to keep that colour? I'm wondering why they advised ericaceous food (apart from an extra sale).

Oh that poor plant. From what I see the leaves are singed and dry, looks like you left it in full sun, bad for any hydrangea. move it to shade. do not feed it anymore. If you watered, it leave alone for a bit. it may respond if out of sun, will take a while. poor baby. and that color thing that right now should be your last thought.

do you know the type of hydrangea it is? and no clue what a B&Q is. if it is like our Walmart and Home Depo and Lowes in America then you just got a less quality plant.
