Question

Why my hydrangea seems it’s dying (leaves are turning yellow) after I planted it in my backyard. It was absolutely great while in the pot. I water it every other day but see no sign of improvement.

Answer

Your hydrangea appears to be stressed and needs more water. Rather than a light overhead watering, give it a good soaking. And, mulch at the base to help preserve the moisture and protect the roots.
