I have a friend who has a problem with one of her rhododenrons. This plant is a year old and bloomed well. In the last several weeks, the new growth that has started growing is wilting, just as if someone pulled a plug on it. The older foilage is not doing this, just the new tender growth. The plant was in filtered sunlight and it received a couple of hours at most of direct sunlight in the afternoon.
She bought the plant from a local, private garden center. After taking a piece of the wilted stem so they could examine it, she was told that there was no insects or insect damage present. They offered to replace the plant at 50% the cost of the new one. I saw the plant myself when it was on its way back to the garden center to be returned. I've never seen anything like this either so I can't help her.
Any ideas on this wilting problem on the new growth?
