Leaves Drooping Near Top Of Branches And Leaves Fallen Off Lower Down On A 2-3 Year Old Azalea

Question

Was perfectly ok a week before given some feed. One week after feed leaves drooping top of branch and the rest have fallen off, so I can see through plant whereas I could not before. I gave it a bit more water a few days ago but it has not revived. The bark is still green further down. Please help, I don’t know what is wrong. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Azaleas don't really need fertilizer, so it may have been overfertilized, which results in a burn. The only thing you can do is keep flushing it with water to reduce the salt buildup.
