Rhododendrons have several adaptations that enable them to thrive in diverse environments. Their thick, leathery leaves help reduce water loss in dry or windy conditions, while the thick waxy cuticle protects against harsh weather and pests. Additionally, many species have evolved to grow in acidic soils, enabling them to absorb nutrients effectively. Their ability to produce large, showy flowers also attracts pollinators, ensuring successful reproduction.
