Signs of Cold Stress in Sweet azalea

Symptoms

Sweet azalea exhibits high resilience to cold, yet winter temperatures should remain above 40℉. Should temperatures fall below this point, while no immediate issues might be apparent in winter, branches could become fragile and desiccated by spring, with no new growth appearing.

Solutions

During spring, remove any lifeless branches that have not developed fresh foliage.

Signs of Heat Stress in Sweet azalea

Symptoms

Sweet azalea does not tolerate elevated temperatures well. When temperatures surpass 75℉, it might shed a considerable number of leaves, and in extreme instances, the entire plant could wilt and perish.

Solutions

Remove any sun-damaged and shriveled sections. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or employ a shade cloth for cover. Irrigate the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
