Rhododendron fertiliser can I use it in other plants

gfplux

I have been given (don't ask) a small box of rhododendron fertiliser. I have no rhododendron so can I use it as a general fertiliser or are there certain plants that will be damaged.
Thanks

It will probably only do for plants that like acidic conditions

If you spread it lightly over the soil, it will do more good than harm. Ideally, do it before light rain.

There are plenty of plants that prefer it, even if they aren't acid-lovers. It's good for clematis, quite good for roses, and lawns do fine with it, again spread lightly.

As we say round yer, "Ort is better'n nort!"

....though it usually applies to partners in love rather than garden plants.

(Mind you, swinging the other way: e.g. putting lime-heavy fertilizer, like mushroom compost, on lime haters, is not recommended.)

Will be ideal for blueberries if you have any of these.

Thanks everyone, I decided to give a light sprinkling a go. Planned or otherwise we then had 6 hours of rain. So hoping all will be well.
