Azaleas require light, acidic, well-drained and preferably constantly moistened (but not waterlogged) soil rich in iron and phosphorus. Use special fertilizers for rhododendrons and azaleas or for heather plants.
To maintain soil moisture, it is recommended to keep it constantly mulched. The ideal mixture for planting is 1/3 peat, 1/3 leaf humus or compost without lime and 1/3 soil from the planting site. The roots of azalea are small and grow wide, so do not plant them too deeply and in any case not in heavy, impermeable soil. Frost resistance to -29 ° C.
