    There are many reasons a plant may not bloom. The most common is that the plant is not getting enough sunlight. While rhododendron like shade, if they are too far back in the shade, they may not have enough light to bloom.

     

    Another reason can be a lack of nutrients in the soil. Particularly phosphorous. Try adding a little bone meal to the plant and also have your soil tested at the local extension service to see if it is lacking any other nutrients.

    Although it has a low toxicity, it is best to treat all Rhododendrons as poisonous and keep out of reach of children and pets. Rhododendrons are toxic to many domestic animals, including dogs. Do not to allow your dog to remain unsupervised around these plants. They have potentially toxic leaves and flowers and even the honey from their flowers can be poisonous. While human fatalities from eating these plants are rare, victims who consume a lot suffer from nausea, vomiting, abdominal upset, and low blood pressure.
