Azaleas (Rhododendron hybrids) enjoy moderately bright light (diffused sunlight), preferably near a sunny window, but not exposed to direct sun.

Keep the soil uniformly moist. Water thoroughly when soil surface is dry to the touch. Never allow the plant to become excessively dry. To avoid root rot, don't allow the plant to stand in water.

Azaleas thrive in cool temperatures, 60-65F (15-18C)during the daytime. Cooler night temperatures (50-60F/10-15C) will help extend the blooming period. Do not expose azaleas to excessively hot or cold areas.
