I just bought a 6 inch potted azalea at our local grocery. It states on the card insert under Temperature: average room temperature & under Bloom time: Grown for decorative display. Am wondering if this plant can be planted outside for year around or should I keep it indoors??
Yes, you can enjoy this plant indoors.

Hello, my question is about Azaleas. I recently bought one for a houseplant but the blossoms died quickly, I've removed them. Since I brought it home the leaves have been droopy. I've watered it until it came out the bottom and gave it a little fertilizer too. It been a day and still looks the same. As far as light, it sits in an East window with morning sun. Is it not getting enough light? Other than the droopy leaves it seems to be ok, no loss or color of leaves but a little new growth. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thank you! Cathy
There are several things to address here. First, moving them into a new environment will shock them. This will usually recover on its own. It is best to leave them alone, aside from watering when the soil is almost completely dry, until they recover. I would move it into a new, larger pot soon. Give it as much light as possible indoors. Any south facing window will work, as windows filter a great deal of light. So they will not be burning while exposed through a window.

I am very interested in these wonderful articles and would like to print out the information on how to take care of an indoor Azalea. I can’t copy and paste the information because of all of the advertising and I cannot print it out either. My memory isn’t what it used to be so I cannot type it out. How can I make use of this article?

I read your article about azaleas for winter IN GROUND. Mine are in a large pot, outside. This is the first winter for the 2 plants. They are under a roof overhang, on a carpet sitting on a rock base. Do I cover them, water them etc. First year I have these plants and I would like to make sure they survive.
You'll need to make sure the soil doesn't dry out completely in the cold weather, and that they have good drainage, but don't over-water. Surround the plants at their base with hay or straw or other mulching material. You can wrap the plants themselves in bubble wrap during especially cold periods. If you want extra protection, you can surround the pot with chicken wire and fill in with hay in between the wire and the pot. Aluminum warming blankets do a good job of insulating plants. Your local garden nursery probably carries special insulating wraps, as well. What you want to pay closest attention to is the roots, so if the plants are elevated, you may even want to tuck some insulation under the bottom of the pot.

Love the plant: Total flowers in December. Just hard to care for through the winter. If it is possible: need planting and care information.
I understand your concern. If you can get it through one more winter, it will be safe to plant it in the ground in the early springtime. You are in Zone 4b, and you might be able to do it now, but it would be safer to wait since your winters can get extremely cold.

In the past when I repot single azalea rooted cuttings they looked much thinner and spindly than those in the nursery store. This year I put two or three small rooted cuttings in a one gallon pot and some in a 3 gallon pot. Am I making a mistake to do this? I want my plants to be more full and bushy.
Yes, I would do that. But start with the 1 gallon pot and as they outgrow the pot, move up a size. It is detrimental to pot a plant in too big of a pot as you end up overwatering it.
