  • Anyone identify what's wrong with my rhododendron ?



    Can anyone identify what's wrong with this rhododendron leaf ? Several of my plants have this problem. The leaf seems rather dry, as well as discoloured.

    Have you had it for a long time? Are you growing it in a pot or in the ground?
    Rhododendrons need acidic soil to grow well and don't like being watered with tap water.
    Have you fed it recently?

      Have you looked on the underside of the leaves? Could be a sap sucking insect like a lacebug

          Thanks for your replies, everyone. The concentration of the discolouration along the veins, rather than all over the leaf, makes me think it's not a lacebug, However, although it's in the ground, it hasn't been fed, and in dry spells it's been watered with tap water, so maybe altering the last 2 variables might help !
