How to fertilize Rhododendron oldhamii
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Rhododendron oldhamii after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Some of the tips of my Azalea’s leaves have a brown line followed by a pale green. I checked the soil before watering and it doesn’t feel moist at the top so I don’t think it’s over watering. Any ideas? #PinkAzaleaBonsai

I ordered this plant and it was already in bad shape. Still trying to save it, I can't tell if I should give up or not. It's still drinking water but those leaves. #PinkAzaleaBonsai

Browning and curling leaves on azaleas! My azaleas are having a super rough time this summer. I saw their leaves start to brown and curl, so I moved them into a little@more shaded area. I thought maybe the sun was beating them up too much. Then I noticed they were drying out faster between waterings so I started watering everything the soil was dry (3-4 days). But they look like they are still getting worse. Pleas help!
