Hello!

I bought 3 hydrangeas last year and planted them individually in a pot. Something's chewing on the leaves, I blasted it with water. I looked at the leaves and it look like it's aphids. I might resort to spraying them if the problem stll persist. What do you recommend? Also, the leaves are curling at the end(see attached picture). What could be the reason of that? It's in a shaded area so I don't think it's too much sun. Perhaps little water? Oh, all 3 plants are experiencing the same problem. Can you please shed a light to my problems?

Also, when do you fertilize these beautiful shrubs and what fertilizer are you using?

Take care and have a great week!
