I recently bought a 5 gallon hydrangea (lacecap) that was listed as
sun/part-shade tolerant. I planted it in a spot that gets a fair amount
of sun and it has been drooping in the middle of the day even after I
give it plenty of water.

I am wondering if I should transplant it or try to give the plant some
time to 'adapt' to the location I put it in; do plants adapt to their
light exposure?

Sonja, I find that goodsized (LARGE) potted plants ALWAYS have issues
after they are set in ground.

You can drench the rootball, but have no idea where the water goes....
actually the rootball of a potted plant is used to its confines, and will
stay within the confines of the potting medium for several weeks

Water WON"T stay within the confines of the potting medium, so there is
always a period of "transplant shock" until the formerly potbound roots
venture outside the original potting medium to the surrounding natural
strata .



Water well as you feel the need, and steel yourself to seeing droop in the
heat of the day for a week or so. Yes, bottom leaves will brown and you
might percieve a "leggy look", but it is more than likely all will be
well.

happy to see you again.
