Planting a
Rhododendrons prefer soil with a pH between 4.5 and 6.0. If your soil is not acidic enough, you may need to amend it with materials such as peat moss or compost. Make sure the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogging, as Rhododendrons don't like soggy roots. Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper. Gently loosen the roots and place the plant in the hole, making sure it sits at the same depth as it was in the container. Backfill the hole with soil, gently firming it around the roots. Water thoroughly after planting.Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as bark chips or pine needles, around the base of the plant. Mulch helps conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain a more consistent soil temperature. Rhododendrons have shallow root systems, so they need regular watering, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering, as it can promote fungal diseases.
