Can I water the azalea after repotting? How to save it from falling leaves if I water it too much?

1. Can I water it?

The azalea can be watered after being repotted. Watering it at this time is the rooting water, which is to allow the plant roots to better contact and adapt to the soil. When watering for the first time after repotting, the soil needs to be watered thoroughly, and never stop watering halfway. Watering should be done along the edge of the pot, and the water should be poured into the soil, not onto the plant.

After repotting, in addition to watering to help the plant take root, you should also pay attention to the ventilation of the maintenance environment and place it in a ventilated place with weak light. Don't let it be exposed to sunlight, because it is still in the acclimatization period after repotting and has not fully adapted to the new environment. It will easily wilt if exposed to the sun. You should wait until it recovers its vitality before carrying out normal maintenance.

2. How to save fallen leaves

When you water azalea too much, the accumulated water will cause the plant's roots to rot. Its roots cannot normally supply nutrients and water to the leaves, causing the leaves to fall off. Once discovered, you need to remove the plant from the pot immediately, cut off the rotten roots with a knife, then disinfect and change the soil before replanting it. After that, you should water it less frequently. If the soil is moist, you don't need to water it. If water accumulates in the pot, it is necessary to drain it as soon as possible to avoid it accumulating in the pot soil for a long time.
