Rhododendron bureavii

Acidic peat-based mix with pine bark or perlite for drainage; pH 4.5-6.0 required.

Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use rainwater or soft water to avoid lime buildup.

Prefers dappled light or morning sun. Protect from harsh afternoon heat to prevent leaf scorching.

Apply ericaceous fertilizer in early spring. Avoid high nitrogen late summer to protect buds.

Minimal pruning required after flowering. Remove dead wood and shape lightly if needed.
