CARE of Azalea (Rhododendron):
The Azalea is a very multifunctional roommate and an exuberant bloomer. With a few copies in your house, your ability to concentrate increases considerably, scientific research has shown.
Temperature: The plants can be kept in the living room at a moderate temperature of 15 to 22 ° C. A slightly cooler place such as the entrance hall or a corridor are also suitable as a place.
Light: Azaleas require a light spot, especially the modern varieties. Direct sunlight is to be avoided, then the flowers wither quickly and the plant evaporates too much water.
Water: The root ball of azalea must always be moist. Preferably water with rainwater (tap water contains too much lime). The root ball must be able to let the excess water through, compare the root ball with a sponge that retains water.
An extra care tip is to place the plant in a bowl or pot with sand in it; when there is too much water, the water flows downwards and at the same time forms a reserve in the event of a shortage of water.

If you do not have the time to check the root ball every day, you can immerse the plant in a bucket once a week so that all the air has disappeared from the root ball and then let the root ball drain. Your azalea now has a few days reserve.
-
Fertilization: A healthy quality plant does not need immediate additional fertilization. An azalea is very sensitive to too much salt in the root ball.
