Soil Acidity for Azaleas – Preparation, Adjustment, and Long-Term Care

Azaleas demand precise soil acidity to develop healthy roots, sustain nutrient uptake, and produce vigorous blooms. Soil pH directly controls the availability of iron, phosphorus, and other micronutrients critical for their metabolic function. Inadequate acidity leads to chlorosis, reduced flowering, and stunted growth. Success with azaleas in home landscapes depends on accurate soil testing, methodical…
