Watching my rhododendron burst into bloom was wild. I set up a time lapse, and every morning, there were more buds popping open. It’s like the plant was showing off. I always make sure to water it early in the day and keep the soil just damp, not soaked. I also give it a little mulch blanket to keep the roots cool. Turns out, that’s the secret sauce for these blooms. Every time I walk by, I can’t help but smile. Seeing all those colors makes the effort totally worth it. If you’re thinking about growing one, just remember: a little patience and the right care go a long way. #gardeningjoy #rhododendron #bloomwatch #planttips #Gardening
