Rhododendron Culture 
Rhododendrons are easy to grow, and stand extremes of 
heat and cold much better than most people believe. There 
are just three important rules to follow in planting and 
caring for these lovely shrubs. One: Provide some shade. 
Planting under trees is best. Two: Maintain an acid soil 
condition. Three: Provide ample moisture through fre- 
quent watering and by use of a peat mulch on the top of 
the soil. 
Since these are naturally woodland plants, create as near 
woodland conditions as you can by incorporating sand, peat 
moss, or leaf mold in the ground at planting time to make 
a loose, loamy, well-drained spot. When you fertilize, 
which you should do in early spring and again early in the 
fall, use either an acid type fertilizer or a regular balanced 
commercial fertilizer like Vigoro. If you use Vigoro, then 
also sprinkle a cupful of Epsom salts on the ground around 
each plant to give the desired acidity. Water freely when 
fertilizing. 
Overhead sprinkling is a good method of watering these 
plants, since they like to have water on their foliage. But 
don’t sprinkle in the heat of the day when the sun is di- 
rectly on the leaves. A peat mulch will help keep the 
surface of the 
irrigations.
