AZALEA

LIGHT

Your Azalea flourishes in indirect bright light.

WATER

Your Azalea loves moisture. Make sure the soil doesn’t dry out. If possible, once a week submerge your potted azalea in a larger container of water, pot and all, so that the potting mix rehydrates thoroughly. When the bubbles stop, pull it out, and let it drain.

HUMIDITY

Your Azalea does well in average household humidity. However, if the air is very dry it will appreciate the occasional humidity boost.

TEMPERATURE

Your Azalea is most comfortable in temperatures between 60-65°F.

FOOD

Feed once a month in the spring and summer when it is producing new leaves with a general-purpose fertilizer at half strength. Always make sure the soil is damp before applying any fertilizer.

TOXICITY

Azaleas are mildly toxic to pets and humans. Typically, ingestion will cause mouth and stomach irritation and possible vomiting.
