Care
A rhododendron is a strong shrub that is not very demanding. Make sure that the soil around the base of the plant does not dry out. Carefully cut off overgrown flowers without damaging the new bud underneath. If the shoots become too long, they can be carefully cut back. The rhododendron likes acidic, humus-rich soil. Place the rhododendron in partial or full shade. Also make sure that the root ball is always moist.
