What fertilizers/when to use on Gardenias (and others)
Hi! I bought a gardenia for the first time and read they are pretty difficult to get them to bloom. Will it bloom this season since I planted it a month ago? I don't see any buds. Also, I have a granular azalea/rhododendron fertilizer, and then a liquid Miracle grow fertilizer I use on my roses...can I use both of them and how often would you apply them? I should have tested my soil first..I just used one of those home kits and it said our soil is about 6.5 I believe. Should I be adding something else toot o acidify the soil? I also have azaleas and rhododendrons nearby, though I've never done anything to the azaleas besides used the granular fertilizer and they've bloomed well. Thanks!
