Rhododendrons grow very strongly, and they are usually pruned and propagated.

Rhododendron is a shade-loving plant, and direct sunlight is not good for its growth. Therefore, it is best to choose a shady place, or take this into account when designing greening, and deliberately arrange trees in a special garden.
