Your Rhododendrons and Camellias might look like they are just resting, but they are secretly building next year’s flower buds right inside the stems!
If they dry out now, those tiny buds can drop off before they ever get a chance to open next spring.
Give them a deep, thorough soak at the roots once a week if the weather is dry.
Use collected rainwater if you can! Tap water can be too alkaline for these acid-loving plants and can hurt their blooms over time.
