Care instructions for garden azaleas:
Azalea can be planted from spring to autumn, as long as the ground is not frozen. Planting should be done with the root ball (soil on the roots), respecting its growth requirements.
It prefers semi-shaded places and acidic soil. This can be made from a mix of acidic peat and conifer bark (this helps maintain soil acidity). Watering varies depending on the plant’s resting periods. During the growth period, watering is done in larger amounts so that the soil remains constantly moist.
