FAQ about Azalea – Classic

What kind of soil suits azaleas best?
Azaleas need acid, well-drained soil with a pH of 4.5-6.0. Use ericaceous compost. Good drainage is essential, as the plant does not tolerate standing water around the roots.
How often should an azalea be watered?
Keep the compost evenly moist but never soggy, as azaleas must never dry out. Check the compost daily during flowering. Use rainwater or soft, lime-free water, as azaleas dislike lime. A dried-out rootball can be soaked in a bucket of water for 15 minutes.
When and how should an azalea be pruned?
Prune straight after flowering so you do not remove next year's flower buds. Pick off faded flowers and shorten any overly long shoots to keep the plant compact.
Which pests and diseases can affect azaleas?
Red spider mite, aphids and thrips can attack, especially in dry indoor air. Root rot can occur with too much water and poor drainage. Yellow leaves often mean the water is too hard.
Where should an indoor azalea stand?
An indoor azalea thrives in a bright, cool spot out of direct sun, ideally at 10-18°C. Warm, dry rooms shorten flowering considerably. In summer it can stand outdoors in a shady spot and should be brought in before the first frost.
