Care of Azalea


Question
Hello I received this beautful azalea plant when I was in the hospital. I brought it home place it on the entainment center in front of a window and it dropped all of its leaves and looks dead. The plant has this pinkish color to it. Is there any hope in bringing the plant back to life?

Thank you in advance.

Answer
Kellie,

Azaleas are very touchy about water. They hate to be soggy all the time but they also can't dry out to much.

It also needs light bright enough to read a paperback book by but does not like the sun shining on it. Move it to a bright but not sunny location and be careful not to water it too much. If it has not sprouted new leaves in a month it is hopeless. Good luck.
