How do I plant a Rhododendron 'Winsome'?

Proper soil preparation is crucial before planting Rhododendron 'Winsome'. This process ensures the soil is well-drained and rich in nutrients, which is vital for healthy plant growth. Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil improves water permeability and nutrient availability. 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 'Winsome', consider planting about 1 to 2 per m². Follow these planting instructions for best results.

Pruning a Rhododendron 'Winsome'

Rhododendron 'Winsome' benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Pruning is best done after the flowering period, typically in late spring or early summer. This helps to remove spent blooms and can stimulate new flower production. It's important to cut back any crossing, dead, or protruding branches to improve air circulation and light penetration. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make precise cuts and prevent disease. Regular pruning not only enhances the plant's appearance but also supports its overall health and vitality.

Watering a Rhododendron 'Winsome'

The Rhododendron 'Winsome' requires careful watering to thrive. It prefers consistent moisture but should not be overwatered. Watering deeply and less frequently is more beneficial than giving small amounts daily. The best time to water is early morning or late afternoon to reduce evaporation. During dry spells, ensure the soil remains moist. Rainwater can be used for watering, which is beneficial for the plant. Always check the soil before watering to ensure it is necessary. Good drainage is crucial, so excess water should flow away easily. Initially, water the plant directly until it is well-rooted, even if using drip irrigation later.

Fertilising a Rhododendron 'Winsome'

Fertilising Rhododendron 'Winsome' is essential for its growth, bloom, and vitality. Using organic fertilisers is recommended to avoid root and leaf burn, which can occur with improper use of chemical fertilisers. Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are excellent choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to support healthy development. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size, so adjust accordingly. Nutrients are absorbed when rain or watering helps them penetrate the soil. During dry spells, water the garden to ensure nutrients reach the roots effectively.
