Jobe's Fertilizer Spikes for Azalea, Camellia and Rhododendron, 9-8-7 Time Release Fertilizer for Acid Loving Plants, 10 Spikes per Package

Works great easy to use and doesn't burn my Azaleas.

5/2018 update:I still have the same 15 potted blueberry bushes and still use these spikes with great results. Early this year I did re-pot all of them. They were still doing great but most of the pots needed more soil. So I slid them out of their pot, put some fresh bagged soil with some peat moss into the pot before putting the blueberry back in. Then topped it with some more soil, peat moss and one of these fertilizer spikes. They loved it and are putting out some huge blueberry's in mass quantities again this year.Regular watering and these spikes still make me look like I know what I'm doing. I started planting these over 4yrs ago when my wife was first pregnant because I wanted my kid to enjoy them. Well my daughter is a little over 4 yrs old now and she absolutely loves them. I have a ridiculous amount of berry's.My 4 potted "triple crown thornless blackberry's" are also loving these spikes. They haven't ripened yet but they definitely look happy. It's looking like I am going to start using these spikes for blackberry's also.If you grow tomatoes, check out the Jobes tomato spikes. They have been giving me great results as well.Nobody has given me anything for my reviews. I'm just a fan of there products.--------------------------------------------------------------------Original post (Jan 10, 2014):When I first got into my blueberry obsession I would buy the granular type fertilizers and either over did it and burnt them or under did it by forgetting to apply fertilizer for too many months. During winter they would frequently lose all of their foliage and just hibernate for the winter because of my neglect.I now use a single spike for each of my 15 potted blueberry bushes. I put a spike in about once every 4 months (3 per year) and almost immediately after spiking the pot there is an explosion of growth. The blueberries now keep their leaves all year and produce wayyy more blueberries. Amazing what feeding your plants will do...These are what I use. I'm no botanist and i'm sure there are better things that can be done but for a regular Joe like myself, these spikes work great. When guests look at all of my blueberries it now looks like I know what I'm doing.If anyone knows of a better product for "the forgetful gardener", let me/us know in the comments.

Roses are growing beautiful.

Like the ease of doing the job as it is slow release.

They are half the size that they used to be. The buy more to get the amount you really need. Have some respect for the customer and stop treating us like money cows. I hope my plants appreciate the fertilizer- too early to say. It takes a few months to see the impact. This product usually is beneficial to the azaleas and camellias. Evergreen shrubs.
