If it is raised indoors, it should be placed in a brightly lit place, too shaded environment is not conducive to the growth of rhododendrons. When the sun is too strong in summer, pay attention to shade and do not expose to the sun. In winter, it should be raised in a sunny place indoors, and the temperature should not be too low.
