I really like rhododendrons so maybe I'll try again. I want to get more shrubs and such next spring but I have to make sure I can keep them alive before I spend all that money lolBrittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152498231561093827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675929036738159621.post-3431647619866396542010-12-27T13:03:06.580-05:002010-12-27T13:03:06.580-05:00Did you like only water them once after you plante...Did you like only water them once after you planted them? My (humble) guess is that it was a water problem. I don't think planting them in the spring would be an issue. If anything I would think planting them in the spring would be better. Its warm so its a little less stressful for transplanting. But I really am no expert, I didn't work much in the nursury yard, I did more with flowers.Brehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283521154540130293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675929036738159621.post-46722138324992585372010-12-27T10:52:13.807-05:002010-12-27T10:52:13.807-05:00I think I planted them in the spring/early summer....I think I planted them in the spring/early summer. After I did that, someone said it would be better to plant them in the fall. One started dying before the other but they both eventually wilted up. Right now they look a mess. I haven't ripped them up yet but they look like goners.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152498231561093827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675929036738159621.post-80011424349097580252010-12-27T09:39:05.624-05:002010-12-27T09:39:05.624-05:00When did you plant them?

Because like all the roots are just all in the root ball up top. The ones that have been there for years have roots deeeeeep in the ground so they can draw moisture from down there. You can also like loosen up the root ball a little bit to encourage new root growth. How did they look when they started to die?Brehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02283521154540130293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675929036738159621.post-16939553866448055782010-12-26T17:07:07.207-05:002010-12-26T17:07:07.207-05:00I see all these rhodos that have been alive for ye...I see all these rhodos that have been alive for years and years and years, never watered other than by rain and they thrive. We plant ours, water them, and they are shriveled up dead. We have to figure out the secret. Maybe it's in when they should be planted?Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152498231561093827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675929036738159621.post-5249574224642094382010-12-26T16:30:38.529-05:002010-12-26T16:30:38.529-05:00You killed rhodos?
