[IBC] azalea
 

I have never had much success keeping azalea alive. I'm not sure how to
overwinter. I have one that I won in my club's raffle. I'm trying to keep it
going through the winter (Cleveland, Ohio) by keeping it in a heated garage
that stays right around 40°f. It sits about 5 feet from a west window. the
light is generally diffused except for a brief period in the afternoon. I
keep the soil moist. Currently it is losing bottom leaves. In the past that
has spelled a general demise of the tree. Would it be ok to bring it in under
lights and try to revive it? Is it too early? I'm afraid if I just continue
as I am the tree will die. I would love to learn to keep these alive. I have
good success with most other trees.
