Default indoor azalea

Sounds like overwatering and feeding. When I was working I would let
them get a bit dry - feel the weight, then dunk them until the bubbles
stop, then they don't get any more until they've nearly dried again. I
didn't feed 'til they went into the shade house and started growing
again. Lime free water (rain water or fridge water) of course. Some
leaves always fall off in the house but once you see really
substantial leaf loss the plant is usually beyond help - sorry.
I always lost a few of the small newly bought ones each year but any
that survived were then usually OK in subsequent years.



Oh dear, it's on its way out then ...
