Step Three
Check your soil's PH balance. Rhododendrons grow best in an acid soil. It should have a a PH of 5.5.
Step Four
Keep them moist. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but do not over water. The soil should have good draining properties.

Prune young plants. Pruning a young plant will encourage growth for a fuller plant. Avoid pruning established plants as you could damage next year's blooms. Pruning should be done in early spring for best results.
Step Six
Mulch your plants. Adding mulch around your rhododendrons will help protect their shallow roots and keep the soil moist.
