Rhododendron periclymenoides aka Election Pink

Election Pink is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

Election Pink should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Election Pink 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.

To ensure optimal growth, the Election Pink prefers bright diffused 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.

Election Pink is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

The Election Pink does not necessitate supplementary humidity. Plants primarily absorb water through their roots, rather than their leaves. Hence, the most effective way to supply humidity to your plants is by watering the soil.

The growth of Election Pink is gradual and it doesn't necessitate any additional fertilizers. Replacing the soil in its pot once a year should suffice to provide the plant with sufficient nutrition. It's important to keep in mind that plants derive their energy from the sun's rays, not fertilizers.

Election Pink’s native range is Asia and North America.
