Trimming: Trim lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches throughout the year.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers immediately after flowering to promote additional blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.
Fertilising: Apply a specialised azalea or rhododendron fertiliser in early spring and after flowering. Avoid fertilising in late summer or autumn to prevent new growth that can be damaged by frost.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the establishment phase and in dry periods. Azaleas prefer acidic, well-drained soil. Mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Pest Control: Watch for lace bugs and azalea caterpillars. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil.
Disease Management: Be vigilant for signs of root rot, petal blight, and powdery mildew. Ensure good air circulation, avoid overhead watering, and apply appropriate fungicides if necessary. Remove and dispose of any infected plant material responsibly.
