What to do if the leaves of azalea turn red

1. Low temperature

Low temperature is a very important reason. We know that if it is too low, it is likely to enter a dormant state. At this time, the glucose in its leaves is likely to turn red due to the stimulation of low temperature. If it is not in autumn and winter, we can consider transplanting it to a place with higher temperature.

However, if this happens after summer and autumn and into autumn and winter, we don't need to worry too much, because by the spring of the following year, its leaves will most likely turn from red to green again. And some varieties, such as summer azalea, begin to turn red in autumn, and if it reaches winter, it will become even redder. In addition, some varieties may turn red after winter, and some may turn yellow and then fall off. These are all normal and there is no need to worry too much. Generally speaking, when something is abnormal, we just need to provide it with the necessary environment to make it become normal.

2. Lighting

Strong light is also a very important reason why its leaves turn red. Generally speaking, it does not need direct light. If we still give it a semi-shaded environment, its growth will be better. Of course, it may also be because the soil in the pot is too dry or too wet. At this time, we still need to water appropriately and control the amount.

In short, under normal circumstances we don’t need to be too nervous. It is normal when it is in a dormant or semi-dormant state. Other abnormal situations require us to quickly find a solution to restore it to normal.
