Planting a

Rhododendrons prefer soil with a pH between 4.5 and 6.0. Test your soil pH and amend it if necessary by adding organic matter such as peat moss, compost, or pine bark to increase acidity. Ensure good drainage by incorporating organic matter into the soil. Dig a hole that is twice as wide but just as deep as the root ball of the plant. Loosen the soil around the hole to encourage root growth. Gently remove the plant from its container and loosen the roots. Place the plant in the center of the hole, making sure the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill the hole with the amended soil, lightly tamping it down as you go to remove air pockets. Apply a 2 to 3-inch layer of organic mulch, such as pine straw or bark chips, around the base of the plant. Mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.Water the newly planted rhododendron thoroughly to settle the soil and ensure good root establishment. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, especially during dry periods. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
