      Rhododendrons are among the plants that are very important in Landscape Architecture with many of their aspects including aesthetic usages like beauty of their flowers grown in different seasons with varying colors, autumn coloring in some taxa and beauty of their leaves, as well as their many functional usages.

      First, the sprout formation conditions were studied in production with seeds and adaptation investigations. The seedlings were then transferred to peat medium in the first replicate and after four months, they were transferred to 8 different media in the second replicate, and their growth-survival status was investigated. Soil analyses were performed and the interrelationships of the results obtained were evaluated both statistically and graphically.

      Two different study fields were selected in the search of appropriate temperature, light and humidity conditions. The growth-survival status, medium temperature, light and humidity levels were measured for both fields, and the interrelations of the results were evaluated both statistically and graphically.

      Our results showed that Rhododendrons present better adaptations in the soils at acidic pH and rich in organic matter, and in the fields half-shaded and humid.
