There are a number of reasons why rhodos do not bloom. • not enough light or too much light • too much fertilizer (especially too much nitrogen, which promotes foliage) • the age of the plant • weather: cold weather can kill buds • the variety: if it came form the seed of a hybrid plant, it will never produce (or produce poor) flowers. • planted too deep or has soil mounded beneath it. Roots are shallow and they need air; light mulch is adequate, once the plant is set. • You might also check the pH of the soil (do a test). See above for advice on that. We hope this helps! Reply
