Signs of Cold Stress in Pink azalea

Symptoms

Pink azalea tolerates cold well and flourishes optimally when temperatures exceed 60℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 50℉. If temperatures drop below 30℉, while winter changes might be unnoticeable, branches can become brittle and dry by spring, preventing new growth.

Solutions

In spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new foliage.

Signs of Heat Stress in Pink azalea

Symptoms

During summer, Pink azalea should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures surpass 85℉, the plant's leaves may lighten, tips might dry and wither, and it becomes more prone to sun damage.

Solutions

Remove any sun-damaged and dried sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
