How to fertilize Flame Azalea

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Flame Azalea after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Sick plant? #CatawbaRosebay New to gardening in general and lawns and plants and well everything in general. I got this gal at a local nursery on clearance for $5 hoping to bring it back to life. Some of the leaves are grey and crispy, and it just looks sad in general. Can you tell me how to make it happy? Also can I plant it near (7-10 feet away or so) a creek? Does it need a stake for support? How deep will it root? Basically I’m just looking for literally any advice, thank you. Blessings.

Hi, I was on vacation and forgot to tell my neighbour to water my red azalea 😞 Is it still alive? And what are those tiny hairy white hairs in place of the falling dried flowers? Any help would be appreciated if I can still save this plant 💔 #PinkAzaleaBonsai

#HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #Azalea #FreshLeafFriday I purchased a mandarin Azalea from an Etsy shop in January and to my dismay, it arrived completely dormant with bare branches! I thought it was dead but it was only sleeping. I repotted it and set it outside on the patio where she gets sun from the south and she’s finally waking up and growing leaves! Yay!! I can’t wait to see the beautiful orange flowers! So exciting!!!
