Sprinkle about a tablespoon of Epsom salt in the water.
Hello Margaret; This is what I do personally.
I cut my Hydrangeas at an angle. I place them in cool water immediately after cutting.
I then mix up in the vase one Tablespoon of Sugar and one Tablespoon of Epsom salt. Mix this very well.
After the water looks clear, add the cut flowers.
I hope that this helps you!! Take Care!
I have heard you are supposed to put the stems in super hot water for 5 minutes! Have not tried this but hope it works for you!
