Bloombux® Blush Rhododendron Bush

1. Planting: Choose a location with well-draining soil and partial to full sun for optimal growth. Dig a hole that’s about twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Gently place the plant in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.

2. Watering: Water the Bloombux® Blush deeply after planting, ensuring the soil stays moist but not soggy. During the first growing season, regular watering is essential to establish strong roots. Once established, reduce watering frequency; however, ensure it's watered during prolonged dry spells.

3. Pruning: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and promote bushier growth. Remove any dead or crossing branches as needed. Renewal pruning can be done every few years if the plant becomes too crowded or overgrown, but avoid cutting too much at once.

4. Fertilizing: A balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring will help support robust growth and flower production. Follow package instructions for application rates. Be cautious not to over-fertilize, as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms.
