For an organic approach, many gardeners use commercial manure on the soil around hydrangeas such as Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea. This enables the plant to increase its vigor, and become healthier.

Knives, hand cutters, saws, and shears should be sharpened if necessary before pruning any hydrangeas. When pruning established hydrangeas where no labeling is present on a variety to identify it, you need to look at the general growth patterns of the...
