I have two Rhodadendrum bushes. There are plenty of buds ready to flower but they will not bloom. I have put tomato feed on them as a fertilizer. It has worked a little but only a few buds blooming. Should I repot to a bigger pot. the one they are in is quite big. Any advice.

Lots of varieties are not yet in full flower. Be patient and your buds should open soon in this better weather.

Hi Lathbury and welcome to GoY. Rhododendrons need ericaceous feed not tomato feed which is to help grow fruits. Rhododendrons flower at different times, from late February through to June, July time. Make sure you have in semi shade and keep well watered.
