Feeding & Fertilising

 Fertilising Your Rhododendrons 

Healthy, vibrant rhododendrons need the right kind of feeding. The secret? Slow-release acidic fertiliser rich in magnesium and iron — and small, regular doses beat one big annual feed every time.

Our top tip:
Divide the recommended fertiliser into three parts and apply:
 One-third just before flowering
 One-third just after flowering
 One-third in March

This helps prevent fertiliser burn and keeps your plants happy all year round.

Remember:
 Regular watering helps release the nutrients evenly
 Spread fertiliser on the soil surface around the drip line (where the branches end)
 Avoid lime — it can cause yellowing leaves, so watch out if you have lime chip nearby

Keep your rhodos thriving for years to come!
