Tiny Buds on 4th year Chinoides Rhodo?HELP
Comments (3)Are the leaves a healthy green? If so the soil acidity should be OK. It might be low on phosphorus or potassium. It think your tiny buds are foliage buds, not flower buds. Hopefully I am wrong, but I don't think so. There is nothing you can do now to make it bloom this year. But what you do now will make it bloom next year. First and foremost it needs good drainage and not too much water but some during a drought. Second, it needs sunlight which you seem to have. Third, it needs good soil. I would add some Hollytone before the leaves open this spring. Use at half the rate recommended on the container. Do not dig around the roots, they are very shallow and easily damaged. Fourth, it may be root bound. If you didn't open up the roots when you planted it, they may be strangling each other. The only way you can tell this is to dig it up and look. The roots must be kept moist when you do this or it will die. When you plant it you must open up the roots. I fun a box knife down from top to bottom on 4 sides of the root ball to cut any roots growing circularly. Fifth, make sure you mulch it. This won't make it bloom, but it will help keep it happy and healthy. Here is a link that might be useful: How to grow rhododendrons and azaleas....See MoreNOID 3rd-4th. year hosta
Comments (9)Well, could it also be Francee? In the last photo, it is showing a good bit of corrugation and some cupping. Francee was among the ones sold at Lowes this year, and I succumbed to temptation and bought it. However, with deep regrets I sat the potted hosta to the curb later that week, and it disappeared within the hour. BUT, the pictures of Francee in HL remind me of these leaves shown here.

Comments (12)I'm no expert in these, although I have a 3rd year titan from a friend's leaf cutting, The question is how much did the corm weigh before you planted it this year? My other question is how much light your plant is getting, because where you have it set now doesn't look like it would get enough sunlight to actually bloom regardless of the size? It's hard to tell how deep the container is, but I suspect that many people plant the corm too shallow, which means that roots growing from the top of the old corm are also too shallow, causing new growth to fall over too easily. Can you move it outdoors into bright shade, where wind won't knock it over? I could be all wrong but these are my impressions.
