From the photo the plant appears extremely deficient in nutrients. This will make the plant susceptible to disease.
I recommend re-potting it into a larger container, using a nutrient rich planting soil like this one, designed for acid loving plants like azalea:

When your plant becomes established and puts out new growth, you can maintaing fertility with a flowering plant specific, slow release, organic fertilizer like this:
