princess flower tibochina bloom

Question

My princess flower tibochina hasn’t bloomed this year. Any suggestions about pruning, fertilization, etc…? I live in Northwest Florida. Also, what is the best kind of spray and fertilizer to use on roses? Thanks.

Answer 1

Make sure you are adequately watering your plant.
Fertilize your plant with an acid based fertilizer, Azalea and Rhododendron formulas will work.
Follow the application directions on the packaging.
If plant grow still seems poor you should have your soil tested.
If it is extremely alkaline (which I suspect), you can work in pine needles or redwood compost to make the soil more acidic.
