FAQ about Rhododendron – Classic

What kind of soil suits rhododendrons best?
Rhododendrons need acid soil with a pH of 4.5-6.0. The soil should be well-drained but moisture-retentive, and a mix of composted bark, ericaceous compost and grit works very well. Avoid limy soil, which causes nutrient deficiency and yellow leaves.
How often should rhododendrons be watered?
Keep the soil evenly moist but not wet. Extra water is needed during dry spells and flowering. Use rainwater or soft water, as rhododendrons dislike lime, and mulch to keep the shallow roots moist.
When and how should rhododendrons be pruned?
Rhododendrons rarely need pruning. Snap off the faded flower trusses straight after flowering, taking care not to damage the new buds beneath. If shaping is needed, prune lightly after flowering.
Which pests and diseases can affect rhododendrons?
Vine weevil, which notches the leaf edges, as well as aphids and red spider mite are common. Root rot can occur in poorly drained soil. Yellowing leaves with green veins usually point to soil with too high a pH.
How do I prepare rhododendrons for winter?
Most rhododendrons are hardy, but young plants benefit from protection. Mulch around the shrub to protect the shallow roots, and use fleece as a windbreak in cold, exposed gardens. Water well in dry autumns so that the evergreen leaves do not dry out in winter.
