Planting
You may add organic matter, such as compost or peat moss, to the soil before planting to improve drainage and acidity, as Rhododendrons prefer a slightly acidic soil with a pH of 4.5-6.0. When planting Rhododendron Capistrano, be sure to space them according to their mature size, with a recommended distance of 2-6 feet between each plant, depending on the specific cultivar. Dig a hole with twice the width of the root ball, but only as deep. Be careful not to plant the Rhododendron too deeply as they have shallow roots that could suffocate if buried too deep. Gently remove the plant from its container and loosen any tightly bound roots before placing it in the hole.

Water thoroughly after planting to ensure good root-to-soil contact and maintain consistent
