Frequently asked questions
Rhododendron hybridum Hot
Is every plant about 35 cm tall?
No. The current variants offer 30, 40 and 50 cm heights in different colours. The selected option takes precedence over the old general size note.
Can I use ordinary alkaline soil?
Azaleas need an acidic root environment. Choose an appropriate mix rather than trying to correct unsuitable soil with extra general fertiliser.
Can I discard it after flowering?
No. It is a shrub that can continue growing. Keep leaves healthy and provide suitable light, moisture and seasonal care for possible future flowering.
Why do buds shrivel before opening?
Check root-ball drying, excessive heat and environmental changes. Avoid soaking an already wet pot without checking roots.
