Acidifying Soil for Azaleas: Aluminum Sulfate Works Faster Than Miracid

All Fertilizers Acidify Slowly

Azaleas need pH 5.0–5.5. Even with iron in clay, high pH makes it unavailable. Fertilizers acidify slightly, but process takes years. Fastest: dissolve 8 oz powdered alum (aluminum sulfate) in 1 gal water, pour around azalea—lowers pH by 1 point. If yellow leaves not from pH/iron, this won't help.
