Moving dwarf? Rhododendron from pot to the garden?
Hi all,
We have this beautiful Rhododendron (dwarf?) in a pot which we have had for well over 10 years I think, we have already repotted it to a bigger pot once a few years back and it is very healthy and seems happy where it is, but I can help think it is now too big for the pot its in?
So...... do you think its time to make room in a border and move it there, freeing up the pot for an azalea that doesn't seem too happy in the pot it is in.
The last thing I want would be to lose it, will it take in the garden soil as I know they like ericacious compost and soil?
Anyone got any advice or tips? Or would I just be better getting an enormous pot for it?
Cheers.

Keep it well watered and cool. Do you know if they will grow in your soil, do the neighbours grow them in the ground?
I am not sure if the neighbours grow them tbh, I can ask.
It can stay where it is for now then, its very healthy and happy (feed it every 10 days or so) as it is, and has a good growth spurt on it at the moment.
The answer could be a bigger pot maybe?
Thanks.
