How do I plant a Rhododendron 'Nova Zembla' C12 60-80?

Soil preparation is crucial for planting Rhododendron 'Nova Zembla'. Proper soil preparation ensures the soil is well-drained and rich in nutrients, which is vital for plant growth. Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil improves water retention and nutrient availability. Pot-grown plants can be planted year-round, except during frost. After planting, water the plants until they are well-rooted. The size of the plant determines the number of plants per square metre. For Rhododendron 'Nova Zembla', allow enough space for its bushy spreading growth habit. Follow these planting instructions for best results.

Pruning a Rhododendron 'Nova Zembla' C12 60-80

Rhododendron 'Nova Zembla' benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Pruning is best done after the flowering period in late spring or early summer. This helps to remove any dead or crossing branches, which can improve air circulation and prevent disease. Cutting back spent flowers can also promote new blooms. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make precise cuts and avoid damaging the plant. Regular pruning not only keeps the Rhododendron 'Nova Zembla' looking tidy but also supports its vigorous, bushy growth.

Watering a Rhododendron 'Nova Zembla' C12 60-80

Rhododendron 'Nova Zembla' requires careful watering to thrive. It prefers consistent moisture, so water deeply rather than giving small amounts daily. This ensures the roots receive adequate hydration. The best time to water is early morning or late afternoon to minimise evaporation. During dry, sunny periods, check the soil regularly to determine if watering is needed. Using collected rainwater is beneficial, as it is free from chemicals. Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether planted in the ground or in pots. Once established, drip irrigation systems can be effective, but initial watering is essential for young plants. This plant is not particularly drought-resistant, so regular attention is necessary.

Organic fertilisers are recommended as they prevent 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.
