Rhododendrons offer spectacular flowers but they are among a particular group of plants that require acidic soil in order to thrive. While most plants can tolerate a wide range of soil types, rhododendrons cannot. They will not tolerate alkaline soil and if they are exposed to it, their leaves will turn yellow, their growth will be stunted, and eventually, they will stop growing entirely and look very sickly.

Welcome to my site, my name is John and I have been lucky enough to work in horticultural nurseries for over 15 years in the UK. As the founder and editor as well as researcher, I have a City & Guilds Horticultural Qualifications which I proudly display on our About us page. I now work full time on this website where I review the very best gardening products and tools and write reliable gardening guides. Behind this site is an actual real person who has worked and has experience with the types of products we review as well as years of knowledge on the topics we cover from actual experience.
