| Q: Do Camellias and Azaleas need a different kind of amendment when transplating?: |
Answer:
Yes. When transplanting Azalea, Camellia, Hydrangea and other shade plants, use a soil amendment with plenty of organic matter to decrease the pH of your soil. We recommend EB Stone Azalea, Camellia Mix for all of your acid-loving plants. It is enriched with ample amounts of peat along with pumice, cottonseed meal, bone meal, feather meal and blood meal. Everything you need to get your shade plants off to a great start. |
