Care Instructions
Azaleas are beautiful and easy to maintain with the proper care. Water your azalea regularly, ensuring that the soil stays moist but not wet. Place in an area with plenty of indirect light and mist frequently. Provide azaleas with a balanced fertilizer every two weeks. Prune as desired to maintain shape and size. Be careful when handling as azaleas are prone to breakage. Regularly check for any pests or diseases and take necessary action if found. With proper care, your azalea can bring life and beauty to your home.
