Unfortunately Miracle-Gro Soluble Plant Food for Azaleas, Camellias & Rhododendrons is no longer available. The range has been condensed to three variants: All Purpose, Flowers & Blooms and Tomato, Herbs & Vegetables.

Also, unfortunately, none of the three available products is suitable for use on Australian native plants, because the phosphorus content is too high.

We were very sad to see the Azalea, Camellia & Rhododendron product disappear from the range, because it was the only water-soluble plant food available in Australia that could be safely used on native plants. Despite the pleas of this Home Garden Advice Team, the company chose to delete it - we are not exactly sure why.

As an alternative, we recommend Miracle-Gro Seafeed 3in1, which is a seaweed, fish emulsion and liquid manure product with added trace elements. It is suitable for Australia native plants because it has a low phosphorus content.


This is my last post on this matter but I thought all you guys would like to see the last word on Miracle Gro for Azalea, Camellia & Rhododendron that I got from Scotts so we will all need to find an alternative for our Natives, any suggestions

Ouch! Doesn't seem like they are too happy about it either! lol

Why your last post on the matter Paul?

Hi Bretts
Only because I have run into a dead end and don`t know what to suggest as Scotts are not going to bring it back just for me and a few other thousand bonsai enthusiasts,also no one else seems to offer an alternative.

I have posted an alternative to it. Yates flower and fruit. I am also going to try Searles, Flourish soluble plant food. The NPK is 19/ 4 / 25.75/with all the micro elements.

Miracle gro all purpose is still available in WA, as I have had a ready supply of Azalea Camellia, I have not been looking to hard.I obviously will have to if it is not being made .
