Height and Spread

The height and spread of your ericaceous plants will vary depending on the specific species and variety you choose. Here are some approximate height and spread ranges for common acid-loving plants:

• Azaleas: Height - 2 to 8 feet (approximately 60 to 240 centimeters), Spread - 3 to 6 feet (approximately 90 to 180 centimeters).

• Rhododendrons: Height - 3 to 12 feet (approximately 90 to 360 centimeters), Spread - 3 to 10 feet (approximately 90 to 300 centimeters).

• Camellias: Height - 6 to 12 feet (approximately 180 to 360 centimeters), Spread - 4 to 10 feet (approximately 120 to 300 centimeters).

• Heathers: Height - 6 to 24 inches (approximately 15 to 60 centimeters), Spread - 6 to 18 inches (approximately 15 to 45 centimeters).

Maintenance Tips

Planting:

• Choose a suitable location: Select a spot with partial shade to full sun, as per the plant's specific requirements.

• Amend the soil (if planting in the ground): If the soil is not naturally acidic, mix our Ericaceous Planting & Potting Mix with the existing soil to enhance its acidity.

Potting:

• Select the right container: Use a container with drainage holes to prevent waterlogged roots.

• Repot when necessary: Transplant your acid-loving plants into larger containers as they grow, ensuring they have sufficient space for root development.

Watering:

• Keep the soil consistently moist: Ericaceous plants prefer consistently moist soil, but avoid waterlogging.

• Rainwater is best: If possible, use rainwater to water your acid-loving plants, as tap water can be alkaline and affect the soil's pH.

Feeding:

• Use ericaceous fertilizers: Provide specialized ericaceous fertilizers to nourish your acid-loving plants with the right nutrients.

Pruning:

• Prune after flowering: Trim faded flowers and shape your plants after their flowering period to encourage bushier growth.
