Default Azalea chlorotic

Check for tiny mites/insect damage. If there is no sign here, give it
a half dose of acid fertilizer (such as Miracle Grow or a fertilizer
for azaleas). You should see results in 2-3 weeks.


Miracle Grow is more of a problem than a cure. It is very high in
nitrogen which is not what azaleas need. It is water soluble so it is
only a temporary measure designed to sell miracle grow. Hollytone is a
good organic slow release, long-lasting, fertilizer but I only recommend
using it once in the spring and at half the rate on the package.
