How to care for White Flower Rhododendron

Difficulty

If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, White Flower Rhododendron is a great choice to test your gardening skills.

Water

White Flower Rhododendron should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

White Flower Rhododendron loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Lighting

To ensure optimal growth, the White Flower Rhododendron prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Toxicity
