What to do if the leaves of azalea turn yellow

1. Normal maintenance

Reason: Although azalea is an evergreen plant, its leaves also need to be renewed. If only the old leaves at the bottom turn yellow or fall off after flowering or when new buds sprout, this is normal metabolism.

Solution: Don’t worry too much at this time and no special treatment is required.

2. Improve the environment

Reason: If there are a large number of yellow leaves, it may be related to an unsuitable growing environment. Azalea will grow better in a growing environment with relatively high air humidity and relatively loose potting soil. If the air is too dry, or the amount of watering and fertilization is too large, or the azalea is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, or the soil is too alkaline, it may cause large areas of yellow leaves on the azalea.

Solution: Improve its growth environment. When the air is too dry, spray water mist in time to increase the air humidity. Watering should be appropriate, just keep the soil in the pot slightly moist, neither too much nor too little. You can apply more fertilizer during the growing season, but apply it in small amounts and frequently. Do not apply too much fertilizer at one time. When watering, try to use slightly acidic water.
