Florist Azalea Dies After One Day in Shade: Not Meant for Long-Term Survival

A gardener received a braided-trunk pink azalea for Valentine's Day, left on windowsill with shades down one day; all leaves and flowers dried up. Removed dead material, kept watering and light, but no new growth.

Reality Check

Tom said it's a florist-grade plant, not bred to survive as a houseplant. They're fussy: constant water, limited sun, regular feeding, good drainage. If no response after a week of care, discard.

Florist azaleas are temporary gifts, not durable houseplants.
