Mike and Anne on Jan 29, 2012Fertilize both just after they finish blooming in the spring. Anne's choice of fertilizer is one of the organic products such as Espoma.Helpful Reply

Ricardo B on Jan 29, 2012For azaleas, you can fertilize in the spring or in the fall. If you've had it a long time and it hasn't died... it probably gets sufficient food from it's surroundings, like under a pine or cedar. They love having an acidic soil. I'd say a fertilizer that's granular and is a slow-releasing type would be OK. Regarding Camellias... don't know.Helpful Reply
