When the ground warms up (early April to mid-May), rhododendrons are planted. Planting from containers can be done at any time, as long as it is not during the flowering of the rhododendrons and not during the intensive growth phase of shoots.
Rhododendron shoots start to grow immediately after flowering, and in some species during flowering. When planting a group, the whole area is cultivated, and a hole 3-4 times the size of the root system is sufficient for one plant.
A substrate suitable for rhododendrons is added, such as acidic Sphagnum peat, decomposed compost and pine needles, and the shrubs are watered. The planting must not be too deep or too shallow. Once planted, the plants should be protected from the wind and secured with a support stake until they are wellestablished.
