Water: Hydrangea longipes requires significant water, with a frequency of at least three times a week. In dry or hot conditions, increase this frequency. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged, and adjust watering based on seasonal changes. Supplement water if leaves start to wither.

Fertilize: Fertilization needs vary for different hydrangea longipes: Bigleaf requires multiple applications in spring to early summer, Panicle once in spring, Oakleaf bi-monthly in spring to early summer, and Smooth once before winter. Iron deficiency slows growth, causing yellowing leaves; amend soil pH for better iron absorption.

Pruning: Hydrangeas pruning methods vary based on blooming types. Bigleaf and oakleaf hydrangeas require early summer pruning, focusing on developing flower buds. 'Endless Summer' can be pruned year-round, except during spring budding. Smooth and panicle hydrangeas bloom on new branches, allowing flexible pruning but avoiding spring budding to prevent flowering issues.
