Why does azalea drop its leaves?

1. Sudden changes in the environment

Reason: The growth environment of the newly purchased azalea suddenly changes, especially the sudden change in air humidity, which can easily cause it to drop leaves.

Solution: Place the newly purchased azalea in a relatively cool environment for a period of time.

2. Air drying

Reason: Rhododendrons have high requirements for air humidity. The humidity in a greenhouse is generally 70-80%, while the humidity at home is generally just over 20%. If the air is too dry, the azalea will drop its leaves to reduce water evaporation.

Solution: Increase the air humidity around the azalea. You can use a spray or place a basin of clean water around it.

3. Overwatering

Reason: Excessive watering will cause the azalea's root system to rot, further aggravating its leaf fall.

Solution: Reduce watering and wait until the soil is dry before watering again.
