It’s outside and in direct sunlight. I’m watering as often as my app tells me to & it’s brown. It’s been very hot here, so I’m guessing it’s just all burnt. Ugh - Do I cut all the dead/burnt leaves/flowers off for it to start over? #FrenchHydrangea

Leaves brown spots Hello, I recently purchased this hydrangea plant from amazon. I'm not a gardener but I love mopheads so, I potted it as I wanted blue and used acidic soil. Now I notice some leaves looking like this. Can any hydrangea owner share what is the reason? Over watering? Under? Lack of sun? Disease? Thanks

Hello! My French Hydrangea (hortensia as I call it) had beautiful pink flowers. Now they’ve become green as I believe is normal. Should I cut them? #FrenchHydrangea
