Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to transplant rhubarb?

The best time to transplant rhubarb is in the fall, after the plant has gone dormant, or in early spring before new growth begins​.

Can rhubarb leaves be composted?

Yes, despite containing oxalic acid, rhubarb leaves can be safely composted as the acid breaks down during decomposition and is not absorbed by plants.

How often should rhubarb be watered?

Water rhubarb regularly, especially during dry spells, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Typically, watering once a week is sufficient.
