The azalea I just got seems much more droopy and have some yellow spots on the flower. Is it unhappy or dying? Any help would be really appreciated. It’s my first time taking care of Azalea

It might need water. Beautiful plant!

Thanks a lot! I water it every 5 days. It’s indoor and warm. Should I maybe water it more open?

### Leaf🌱 commented on 2026-02-24

Yes, but I would check the soil before watering it. If the soil feels dry, then it’s time to water.
