Large, ruffled red bells adorn a small-leaved, dense, bushy shrub. This plant makes an excellent choice for containers due to its compact size and attractive foliage. It is a superb repeat bloomer, providing vibrant flowers multiple times throughout the growing season. This particular selection originates from a St. Valentine Rhododendron selfed, showcasing unique characteristics. When cultivating these distinctive cloud forest shrubs in tropical regions, bright light is absolutely essential, as it encourages healthy foliage development and produces vivid, long-lasting blooms. Conversely, in drier climates, a location with part shade is advisable to reduce stress from intense direct sunlight, allowing the plants to thrive more comfortably. These shrubs demand impeccable drainage to prevent issues like root rot, flourishing best when grown in well-aerated substrates such as bark or clean cinder, which mimic their natural habitat. Due to their sensitivity to cold temperatures, they cannot tolerate frost and require protective measures during colder periods to ensure survival. To maintain steady nourishment, applying a slow-release fertilizer is recommended, providing continuous feeding over time to support vigorous growth. When planting these shrubs directly in the ground, it is important to position the crown well above soil level, facilitating optimal drainage and closely replicating the natural growing conditions of an orchid. Additionally, using good quality water is crucial to avoid salt buildup and promote overall plant health.
