I live in Malta. It's right in the Mediterranean where it's humid and hot I summer and max 10°C in winter. Do you think they would live in our zone. Water is hard. Thank you for your advice.

Is it possible to use azalea fertilizer as a general fertilizer? I have 2 containers and will never use it all, so want to use one of them for general use on plants.

I have 1 that hasn't grown in 2 yrs but still green & no flowers has bloomed
so I have a nice size pot I can put it in & give it everything it needs & pray I
can get to grow it's barely a foot tall & if that doesn't work then it's going
to a friends place & see if he can get to grow cause it's not doing nothing.

I dont know is it acceptsble to snow fall over small Azalea or dont allow that?

I live in Utah and Utah State agriculture department says everywhere in Utah has alkaline soils. Should azaleas be avoided in states with alkaline soil? Or if I’m limiting it to one small flower bed can I modify the pH enough in that small area?

I planted 3 azalea bushes in my lawn about 2 months ago when they were in bloom but now their leaves r drooping down and one of the plants leaves have actually turned brown and I'm afraid they r dying. Is there any way I can save them?
