Why Is My Azalea Not Flowering?

Question

I’ve had an azalea in a pot for almost 2 years now and it has flowered. The leaves aren’t fully going green either (see photo). I feed to once a week with specific azalea feed. Please can you help?

That is a lot of food for an azalea in container! It looks like a complete nutrient overload.

You may have to start over, but prepare the soil in advance and check it to make sure that there isn't too much fertilizer content. Make sure the pH is where it should be, too.
