How to Revive a Dying Azalea
What should we do if our azalea is dying? Below, I recommend several common situations and their solutions for everyone to check out.
Leaf Dryness: Spray More Water
Wild azaleas grow in foggy valleys with high humidity. Many plant enthusiasts who buy new azaleas find that the leaves are withered due to the dry indoor environment. If the air is too dry, the tips of azalea leaves will dry out. If not taken seriously, the entire leaf will eventually dry up and fall off. When we notice dryness on the leaves of an azalea, we must increase humidity. Spray water with a spray bottle every morning and evening. However, we should be careful not to spray water on the petals as this can easily lead to petal rot.
Black and Yellow Lower Leaves: Increase Air Circulation
Azalea leaves are very dense and require a good ventilation environment. If indoor ventilation is poor, various bacteria can thrive on the leaves, especially on the innermost leaves with the worst ventilation, leading to black, yellow, or even rotting leaves. When the temperature exceeds 15°C, potted azaleas are best placed outdoors or on a balcony. If kept indoors, windows must be frequently opened to maintain indoor ventilation. Especially in hot and stuffy weather, poor ventilation can easily lead to the death of the azalea.
Don't Repot a New Azalea
When buying an azalea, it usually comes with some flowers or buds. Many plant enthusiasts rush to change to a nicer pot after bringing the azalea home, resulting in the buds falling off. Azalea roots are quite delicate. Changing the pot at this time can easily damage the roots and cause the buds to fall off. If the root damage is too severe, the leaves will also fall off. Don't rush to change the pot for your newly bought azalea. Wait until the flowers have faded before repotting.
