Azalea
A small flowering shrub covered in red, pink or white blooms that brightens a living-room table or entrance in season.
Description
The azalea is a small shrub that is covered in flowers in season, like a living bouquet on a living-room table or entrance. It likes a bright, fairly cool spot and soil that never dries out.
Why an azalea?
- Masses of flowers that cover the plant.
- Three colours: red, pink and white.
- A size that suits tables and entrances.
Where to put it
Near a bright window in a living room, indoor entrance or office, in a fairly cool room, away from direct sun and direct AC draughts.
Care in the Saudi climate
- Light: bright, indirect.
- Water: keep the soil moist; filtered or RO water is best, as hard water harms it.
- Temperature: likes it fairly cool; heat shortens flowering.
- Soil: prefers acidic soil; when repotting use a mix for acid-loving plants.
Caution
Azaleas are toxic to cats and dogs and can cause serious symptoms – keep it well out of reach of pets and small children.

Three quick questions.
We'll tell you whether Azalea suits your space, and which height to pick.
Pick the height that suits your space.
Heights are measured from the base of the nursery pot to the tip of the tallest frond. Each plant is unique — expect a few centimetres of variation.

Never let the soil dry out; use filtered or RO water, and if it dries badly, soak the pot for a few minutes and drain.

Keep the soil moist at all times – never let it dry out. Filtered or RO water is best, as azaleas like acidic soil and dislike hard water.
In a bright, fairly cool spot it flowers for several weeks. Remove faded flowers to keep it tidy.
Heat, dry air and dry soil are the main causes. Keep it in a fairly cool room and water regularly.
No. Azaleas are toxic to cats and dogs (ASPCA) and can cause serious symptoms even in small amounts – keep it well away from pets.
