So I have this azalea...?

I bought it maybe in late October or early November and I was dedicated to it for a week approximately, but I was ambushed with a bunch of tests and projects and I kind of ignored it for maybe two or three weeks. I gave it water maybe 5 times during that time pperiod but that would be it. I moved it to the sun and with another bunch of plants and started giving a lot of water a week. Maybe every other day and I don´t know if my uncle gave it water when he hoses. I live in chile so October/November is late winter or early spring. Right now we´re a week or so from summer. The plant has no flower and the leaves are somewhat dry.

    Most azalea's are planted in peat moss and if it ever gets dry watering it again is like pouring water

    on wax paper. It does not penetrate the soil. You almost have to set the plant in a container and

    let it soak.

    this may be the problem

    Unless you plan on putting it in a raised bed out doors, it will die inside.

    It needs to be in 100% peat moss and organic mix, at least 12 inches above the soil.

    If this is too much trouble, give the plant away.

    Now go drink a beer and relax.

    Azaleas prefer some shade for most of the day
