Hey everybody,
So I got two azaleas, one very young, the other a couple of years old.
I own them since last year, they spent the entire time outside, were not harmed by frost and are kept in a shaded space with direct sun in the evening only from 4ish to 8ish.
Kept in sphagnum and kanuma, watered with rain- or filtered water.
They were both doing great, after repot this year had wonderful flowers (picture 1 &2)
When I was away for 5 days I brought them to my Mom. They came back with browning leaves and haven’t stopped browning and shedding since. They even show new growth which also browns before it gets to full size. I suspected overwatering.
As it didn’t stop browning (dying?) I was finally considering emergency repotting (being at picture 3 by now) But when I took the one on the photos out of the pot, I had the impression the roots actually looked great and filled the pot perfectly (picture 4).
Can it still be root rot? Am I wrong thinking that the roots look good? Can it be anything else and especially: what can I do.
Is there hope for next spring?
