If you’re struggling with hydrangeas that aren’t blooming, there are a few things you can try to get them back on track.

Prune them properly. Timing is everything.

Test your soil and see if there is too much nitrogen or not enough nutrition to feed the plant

Ensure it is getting enough water and that it is also not waterlogged.

Avoid fertilizing and instead, focus on improving soil quality.
