Rhododendron, help?

My rhododendrons is 10 years old and dying. All the leaves are drooping and falling off, it has Plenty of flowers this year. Another rhododendron of a different variety beside it is thriving. why is this happening, and how could i go about fixing it?


Also does anyone know of a website for reference on this subject matter

Rhododendron, help?
Is it in a pot or in the ground?





If it is in the ground, you might have something getting into its roots.





If it has been dry where you are, it might need more water, or if it is wet, then it might be getting too much.





Try searching on yahoo! and you should find thousands of rhodendron fanatic websites with all sorts of info.
Reply:I agree, it is strange that the one beside is doing fine while this one is dying. One thing you could try is fertilizer for Rhododendrons (I believe Miricle Grow makes one). Rhododendrons have quite specific needs (I think high soil acidity is one), so a fertilizer specifically for them (its the same one as for azaleas) is the best way to go.
