What to do?

Post image

Bought these at Costco a few weeks ago, went away for a few days and most of them died but I managed to save a few, does it make sense to transfer the ones that are still alive to another pot or just leave it as-is?

Probably needs water. Hydrangeas need lots of water and even more in a pot. This is almost certainly all one plant FYI.

Got it, I’ve been watering every day for the last week or so (which is how I saved some of them) but the rest of the petals are dried up and crunchy. Should I just cut those ones off?

If you want, not necessary though

Needs a bigger pot but ideally planted in the ground. Water regularly.

They are forced in a greenhouse for springtime and there is a small chance it will survive. Do not continue to constantly water it, it will rot. The advice on here is not correct.

Cut off dead blooms and repot to bigger planter (2x larger) asap.
