Azalea

(Rhododendron hybrids)

A moderately bright light (diffused light) is preferred, near a sunny window but not exposed to direct sun.

Uniformly moist soil is preferred. Water thoroughly when soil surface is just dry to the touch. Do not allow plant to become excessively dry. Drain excess water in saucer at base of pot to prevent root rot and to protect furniture.

Cool temperatures are ideal: 60-65 F (15-18 C) daytimes. Avoid excessively hot or cold areas.

Key tip for success: Placement in a cool environment at night (50-60 F/10-15 C) will help to extend the flowering period.
