How do I plant a Rhododendron 'Cunningham's White'?

Soil preparation is crucial for planting Rhododendron 'Cunningham's White'. Properly preparing the soil ensures good water drainage and nutrient availability, which are essential for plant growth. Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil can greatly enhance these conditions. Plants grown in pots can be planted year-round, except during frost periods. After planting, it's important to water the plants until they are well-rooted. The size of the plant determines the number of plants per square metre; for Rhododendron 'Cunningham's White', approximately 1 plant per m² is recommended.

Pruning a Rhododendron 'Cunningham's White'

Rhododendron 'Cunningham's White' benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its shape and health. Pruning is best done after the flowering period in late spring. This helps to remove any dead or crossing branches, which can improve air circulation and prevent disease. Cutting back spent flowers can also encourage new blooms. Use clean, sharp tools like secateurs or pruning shears to make precise cuts. Regular maintenance ensures the plant remains bushy and vibrant, enhancing its appearance in the garden. Remember, clean tools help prevent the spread of any potential plant issues.

Watering a Rhododendron 'Cunningham's White'

The Rhododendron 'Cunningham's White' requires careful watering to thrive. It prefers consistent moisture, so water generously when the soil feels dry. Avoid daily light watering; instead, soak the soil thoroughly. Early morning or late afternoon is the best time to water, reducing evaporation. Rainwater is an excellent option for this plant. Always check the soil before watering to ensure it's necessary. Ensure excess water can drain away, whether in the ground or a pot. Drip irrigation systems are effective once the plant is well-rooted, but initial watering should be done manually. This plant is not particularly drought-resistant, so regular attention is needed.

Fertilising a Rhododendron 'Cunningham's White'

Fertilising Rhododendron 'Cunningham's White' is essential for its growth and vitality. Regular feeding ensures lush foliage and vibrant blooms. Organic fertilisers are recommended to avoid root and leaf burn, which can occur with synthetic options. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are ideal choices. Apply fertiliser twice a year, in spring and summer. The amount depends on the plant's size, but generally, a handful around the base is sufficient. Nutrients are absorbed when dissolved in water, so during dry spells, watering the garden helps release them into the soil for the roots to uptake.
