Question
I was given a lace cap hydrangea.  I am keeping it as a house plant because we live in an area that is too hot and dry for it to survive outside.  The blooms are beginning to fade.  Should I cut the blooms off?  If so how?  Pleas give me any tips for keeping it alive.  It does have new growth from the bottom of the plant.

Answer
Susanne,
  I have hydrangeas outdoors and have never tried them indoors.  Here is a site that I have used for my plant and you should be able to get some info from it for growing indoors.
