Hi all

Okay first of all can anyone tell me the name of this pant please.
I inherited this plant in the spring last year it flowered really well
towards the end of the summer i think.
The problem is its not looking very healthy i really want to do
something about it to make it well again.
I think it needs repotting in some fresh soil but im not sure which soil
to use i'm pretty sure my dad used to use the acid soil but not 100%.
Also i am not sure what feed to give it as i'm not sure what the plant
is called.
The leaves are going light yellow and quite a few has black/brown spots
on them.

Thanks for everyones help in advance its such a nice plant i will be
gutted if i lose it this year.

Someone else will be along to tell you what it is, but I'm thinking
rhododendron. Don't bet any money on my being right. I don't have
rhodies.

Does it have to stay in a pot? I think it would be much happier in the
ground.
