Default Leaves going brittle. Help

Thanks for the link, altho' I have a problem with getting any subsequent
pages up as I get error message saying 'URL not found'
Anyway, the pots they are in are about 20 inches across, and they have1
single hole in the bottom. They are also raised up off the ground a little.

Thanks

'Bob',

Having read this site http://www.hydrangeasplus.com/faq.html
I am of the opinion that (1) your pots are either too small for the
roots to develop properly (2) that the drainage is inadequate or (3)
they are sitting in a heat trap. The latter is probably unlikely. I
favour (2) as being the most likely cause.

Regards,
Emrys Davies.

Hi,
we have 2 hydrangeas in pots, on a North facing wall as advised,

since
back end of last year. Now I notice that some of the leaves are going

brown
and brittle.
Is that due to overwatering, underwatering or too much sun/dry

weather?

I have give them and other potted plants a good soaking about 3 days

ago.

Thanks
