How to fertilize climbing hydrangea
![Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for climbing hydrangea: repot after 2X growth](https://media.greg.app/static/plantx-website-assets/care-pages/nutrient-graphic.jpg?format=pjpeg&optimize=medium&auto=webp&width=600)
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your climbing hydrangea after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I’ve had this climbing hydrangea vine for 10 years, and it has never once flowered. We do not have a sprinkler system so it relies mostly on rain water. Should I give it some kind of fertilizer? #ClimbingHydrangea

Hydrangea Help I bought 2 big pots of hydrangeas about a month ago, and they started off great. But this TX heat seems to be browning them out too fast before they bloom? Should I move them inside during the day? They’re large planters, so I wouldn’t necessarily want to move them every single day in and out from being in the sun. First time hydrangea mama; help please! I haven’t seen their color in weeks 🥲

My hydrangea hates me :( it was looking dry so I watered it according to the app. Then it was looking soggy, so I put it outside to hopefully evaporate some of the water, but that seemed to make it worse! How do I save it? #FrenchHydrangea
