watering
Small-leaved Rhododendrons need to be watered deeply and frequently. Water thoroughly once or twice a week during the growing season (spring and summer). When done watering, ensure that the top 5 inches of soil are moist but not soggy. During the rest of the year, water every other week, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Be careful not to overwater, as this can cause root rot.
sunlight
Small-leaved Rhododendrons (Rhododendron 'Ginny Gee') prefer full or partial sun exposure when grown outdoors. These plants should receive no less than 4 hours of direct sunlight daily, ideally between the late morning and early afternoon. During the hottest parts of the summer, some more shade may be beneficial. If grown indoors, this species should be kept near a window or other area that receives bright, indirect sunlight.
pruning
Small-leaved rhododendrons like 'Ginny Gee' should be pruned after flowering in the early summer or late spring. Pruning should involve removing faded blooms and deadheading, as well as selectively trimming to shape the plant and thin out overcrowding. Other pruning activities may include removing diseased, damaged or dead wood, as well as removing overbearing branches. It is also advisable to prune off any weak or overstretching stems. To prevent the size of the plant from becoming unwieldy, prune the branches back by up to 1 third of their original length. When pruning, always use sharp, clean tools to ensure clean and healthy cuts.
