A quick hand watering with a garden hose, when applied to dry soil, will not soak in deep enough and will only wet the surface. It takes a while for the water to penetrate the soil beyond the surface.Ī quick hand watering with a garden hose, when applied to dry soil, will not soak in deep enough and will only wet the surface.Ī soaker hose will help to get the water deeper in the soil profile so that the whole root zone is irrigated. However, once it dries out in the summer it can be difficult to re-wet. Most of our soils in western Oregon have a high clay content, which means the soil can hold a good amount of water. To do this, you can use a soaker hose or watering bag that applies a slow drip around the base of the plant. Watering deeply will help your plant pull through. If you did see damage to your hydrangeas, the burnt leaves themselves will not recover, but this does not mean that your plant will not survive. How can I help hydrangeas recover from extreme heat damage? This is most likely in places surrounded by heat-absorbing materials such as asphalt, black landscape fabric, etc. It is also possible for high heat itself to cause tissue death. This is why we see so many brown, crispy leaf edges. If not enough water is available in the soil, or it is lost to the atmosphere faster than it can be replaced, then the plant tissue where the water can’t reach will die. This occurs at a fast rate during the hot, windy conditions seen in heat waves. Plants cool themselves by drawing water from the roots, which then moves through the stems and out through the leaves.
