Water: Hydrangea hybrid thrives in consistently moist conditions, preferring evenly moist soil with moderate drought tolerance. Watering should occur twice a week. As an ornamental outdoor shrub, mulching is beneficial to retain moisture during the active growing season.

Fertilize: Hydrangea hybrid requires specific fertilization: Bigleaf and Oakleaf need fertilizing every few months in spring to early summer, whereas Panicle and Smooth require annual and pre-winter fertilization, respectively. Iron deficiency leads to yellowing leaves; soil acidity can be adjusted for better iron absorption or use foliar/root application.

Pruning: Pruning methods for hydrangea hybrid vary: bigleaf and oakleaf hydrangea hybrid require early summer pruning, focusing on shaping and maintaining bloom structures. 'Endless Summer' hydrangea hybrid can be pruned year-round, avoiding spring. In contrast, smooth and panicle hydrangea hybrid bloom on new growth, allowing flexible pruning but necessitating support due to large flowerheads.

Propagation: Hydrangea hybrid, a member of the Hydrangeaceae family, propagates well through stem cuttings from healthy, non-flowering shoots. Use rooting hormone and plant in a moist, well-draining medium, burying one node. Maintain humidity and warmth for root growth, then acclimatize before permanent planting.
