? How to Care for Your Azalea Plant ?

1. Light

• Indoors: Place in a bright spot with indirect sunlight. Avoid direct afternoon sun as it can scorch the leaves.
• Outdoors: If you move it outside, choose a shaded area with filtered light.

2. Watering

• Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy.
• Water when the top of the soil feels slightly dry to the touch.
• Pro Tip: Azaleas prefer rainwater or distilled water because tap water can sometimes be too hard.

3. Temperature & Humidity

• Prefers cool to moderate temperatures (15°C - 22°C).
• Loves high humidity! You can mist the leaves occasionally or place the pot on a tray with pebbles and water for extra humidity.

4. Soil

• Azaleas thrive in acidic, well-draining soil. If repotting, use a mix designed for acid-loving plants.

5. Fertilizing

• Feed your Azalea with a fertilizer for acid-loving plants every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring & summer).
• Avoid over-fertilizing, especially in the fall and winter.

6. Pruning

• After flowering, lightly trim back branches to maintain a compact shape and encourage more blooms.

7. Watch for

• Yellowing leaves could mean overwatering or poor drainage.
• Brown edges may suggest it needs more humidity.
