It could be lack of water if it is in it's original peat ball still. It
needs a good dowsing until it gets going properly Sabaa Mundia wrote: : hi there, : i bought a very big rhody plant this year and it flowered also very : well. it made new shoots but all of a sudden the shoots are drying up : and then dying (first starts drying up towards the extreame end the : leaves droop downwards then it follows back towards the inner part of : the plant) what does this mean. please help, : thanks , : sabaa -- praise the lord and pass the ammunition |

We've had a lot of hot dry weather in the last few weeks and a freshly planted rhody won't have got it's roots out into the soil yet to seek moisture (I assume it's not still in its pot). Water it very well, several times over the next few days. It may help the water to wet the soil if you add a few drops of washing-up liquid to the water; it won't hurt the plant. When the root-ball is really moist (but not before), mulch it well with a two-inch thick layer of moist peat to help stop the soil drying by evaporation. Water it regularly from now on (say twice a week) until the autumn. -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |
