Nothing is more beautiful than an azalea shrub in spring bloom. These easy-care shrubs come in so many colors . Azaleas can be grown in nearly any garden, instantly adding interest and color to drab areas.
How to Grow and Care for Azaleas
Growing and caring for these shrubs is easy. That being said, there are some things to consider when adding them to the landscape.

Proper Azalea Care
To keep azaleas looking healthy, it is essential that you choose an appropriate planting location and practice proper azalea care. Azaleas actually look the most attractive when they are planted alone; however, mass plantings work well in larger areas, such as wooded sites. Since the flower coverage on azaleas encompasses the entire shrub, placing them in a background of conifers, such as pines, or other acid-loving plants will help set off their colors while minimizing their heavy effect. These shrubs should be planted in the spring, preferably within cool, lightly shaded sites. Full sun, especially in southernmost climates, can actually burn the leaves while heavy shade can deprive them of necessary oxygen, resulting in poor blooming and weaker growth.

Best Soil for Azalea Plants
Azaleas have shallow roots and require a well-drained, acidic soil. In poorly drained areas, azaleas should be placed in raised beds. Azaleas can also make exceptional candidates for containers. It also helps to amend the soil with compost beforehand. To help conserve water, maintain soil temperature, and discourage weeds, mulch these shrubs with pine straw or composted pine barks and replenish annually. Organic matter added to the soil and an adequate layering of mulch will generally provide azaleas with sufficient nutrients; therefore, frequent fertilizing is often not required. However, if there are low amounts of nitrogen in the soil, applying fertilizer may be necessary in order to prevent a nutrient deficiency. Symptoms of deficiency in azaleas include stunted growth, smaller greenish-yellow leaves, or early leaf drop. Fertilizing of these shrubs should take place in late spring to early fall.

Common Azalea Diseases & Pests
Although azaleas are generally free of pests and diseases with proper azalea care, common azalea diseases and problems do exist. Insects that can affect azaleas include lace bugs and spider mites. Lace bugs are more likely to target shrubs that are grown in areas of full sun. Petal blight, leaf spots, and root rot are common diseases associated with these deciduous shrubs. Placing azaleas in areas with good drainage and conserving water by applying mulch usually helps reduce the chances of plant damage due to these problems.

How to Trim Azaleas
To maintain a more compact appearance or simply to encourage bushier growth, trim azaleas after their blooming period has expired. Taking time to trim azaleas by cutting back the branches of these shrubs will also help renew overgrown plants. Keeping your azaleas healthy throughout the growing season with good azalea care will ensure an abundance of beautiful blooms for many springs to come

  1. Very useful video.Mr.Mohit sr I have this plant in 3 years but I don't know the name of the plant.and no flowers.I keep it in the full sunlight the summer all the leaves are dry the winter grow again because I don't know luckily it is not died.now I will follow your instructions thanks.

  2. Sir ye last year men's khareeda tha per San pattiyan jhar gaye nahi chala .Is saal mene phir khareeda hai jab nursary se liya tha to do flower the uske baad nahi aya an phir se leaves jhar rahi hai .kya phir se khatam ho jayega ? What to do ??

  3. An important point for the good growth of a plant is correctly picked up temperature condition. Then the bush actively grows. For an azalea, air temperature within 10-18 degrees of heat is considered optimum. Maintenance of such conditions in the apartment is extremely problematic, especially in the summer and in a heating season. But to be given and back away from the intention to have houses such a beautiful flower, is not necessary. Long-term experience of cultivation of a plant in our climatic conditions, allowed to find opportunities for the creation of necessary conditions. In the summer the azalea in a pot is laid over ice, put near a bottle with the frozen liquid. source https://theplantsgarden.com/houseplants/blossoming-plants/secrets-of-growing-for-azalea-proper-care-of-the-azalea-flower.html

  4. I bought it in January and kept it in full sun,thinking it behaves like Hybyscus..butslowely it dropped all its flowers and yet did not grow any but till now.. Now I kept it under green net and fertilised using mustard cake and compost mix matured over fortnight.
    Plz suggest…and also share it's flowering season too.
    Thanks..

  5. Nice information.. Much timely indeed.
    I have a query..
    My plant was bought last year which stopped blooming soon during season.
    Since then all my efforts have been to keep the plant alive instead of getting blooms and weather becomes very hot and dry at my place.
    But it's October now and I am reporting it.. I haven't added anything to it except sea weed fertiliser since last May.. Should I hope it will survive for blooming?
    Can I add little DAP?
