I have a rododendron that does not seem to be doing too well. What type of food should I be giving it and how often?

Rhododendrons like to be planted in an acidic soil. This is a bit of a problem in the Okanagan as the majority of our soil is alkaline. This can easily be ammended by adding some peat soil, which is acidic, to the soil around your rhodo. We do also carry a couple of fertilizers that can be used with your rhodo. I would recommend our Art Knapp's Rhodo and Azalea food and this is a good time of year to apply it. If you are still having problems, bring a couple of leaves in and we can take a look at them to see if there is anything else that may be causing your plant to not do so well.
