Miracle-Gro Water Soluble Azalea, Camellia, Rhododendron Plant Food, 5 lb.

I have used Miracle grow on all of my inside and outside plants, shrubs and trees for over 30 years, and I find that it is the best fertilizer I have ever used. Never fails. I admit I used a fertilizer for my hollies that was highly publicized, but it was actually more expensive and did not do the job, so am back with Miracle Gro from now on. I have the Miracle Gro sprayer, which I would highly recommend as it makes it much easier to use with a lot of azaleas and other plants.

Works great for acid loving plants . Like the resealable bag , much better than ziplock bags . Seals great as long as there is no fertilizer left on the Velcro.

I’ve been using this fertilizer on a wide range of acid-loving plants in containers—including Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Mountain Laurels, Blueberries, and even some more unusual acid-loving pachycaul trees—and it’s performed consistently well. What I really value is its high concentration of macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), which makes it easy to customize my feeding schedule. I typically dilute to about 100 ppm nitrogen (roughly 1/3 teaspoon per gallon of water) and apply with every watering during the active growing season (spring through fall). With this routine, my plants show strong growth, healthy foliage, and reliable blooms/fruit set. Because it’s a synthetic fertilizer, the nutrients become available to my potted plants right away, which is essential in container culture where leaching and nutrient depletion happen quickly. I prefer to reserve organic fertilizers for in-ground plantings (added benefit is that organics help improve soil health) and use them sparingly there, but for pots, this formula is both efficient and dependable. Overall, it offers excellent value, is easy to measure and apply, and delivers exactly what acid-loving plants need to thrive.

On time. Works very well.

Not a fan of your new packaging. I’ve used this for years and will continue to, great product, however the new packaging ( one large plastic bag with Velcro closure) is a big fail. It’s hard to handle and the product coats the Velcro making it useless to seal up the bag.

This truly helped our rhododendron to recover and look stunning this summer. Excellent product for all plants that need acidity. Great on azaleas and holly bushes also. Easy mix ability in watering can or with hose. Definitely helped with greening up all the bushes.

This completely turned my brand new azaleas from yellow and leaves falling off to thriving. So much new growth!

Excellent fertilizer
