lack of any pertinent information upon which we might guess???

I just noticed there are brown spot on the leaves and some of the leaves are dried. I do water than every other days since it’s hot in zone 7a.

Every other day sounds a lot for established shrubs, whatever the temp. Are they newly planted? Is the soil dry several inches down? If not my guess is fungus brought on by overwatering.

Thank you. They are not newly planted. Any advices how to fix this?

Good drainage or wet? Full sun or part sun? Have you fertilized recently or sprayed with anything? Near a wall or foundation? How long since it was planted? What was your winter like (minimum temp)?

I believe it has good drainage. The hygendras and camellias are doing fine. I have not spray anything or fertilized recently planing to do fertilize on Saturday or Sunday (I’m in Silver Spring, Md). It has been planted for around 2 months. The plant not near the wall. It has 6 hours of sun. Below are my other two azaleas of the 3 planted at the same time and same location in the front of the house. They seem not as bad.

At two months it is relatively newly planted. How deeply do you water and have you checked the moisure at depth as floral suggested?

No, I have not and how do I check? I am relatively new to planting.

Just dig a small hole 4-6 inches deep into the rootball and see if it feels moist.

Nikki, I lived in Silver Spring MD for 10 years! I also had a very hard time with newly planted azaleas. My neighbors had nice, established plants, and I couldn't get mine going.

Looking back, I think the main issue was that the plants I got always arrived pot-bound and, even after "roughing up" the roots, they never quite got adjusted to the clay soil. No matter how nice and wide the planting hole was. Older leaves would turn yellow and brown. When I dug them out after a few months, the root ball looked exactly the same with no new roots developing in the surrounding area.

Just something to consider... And I definitely wouldn't fertilize them if they are stressed.

Thank you, Jojo. One house down, has a nice established azealas.

@tsugajunkie z5 SE WI, if it’s moist I am good?

Is there anything I could do to save this plant? I really wanted to save this plant

If you azalea was pot-bound and you didn't loosen the roots, the rootball will stay dry even if you water the surrounding area. This could be the issue here.

This link explains it in more detail:

I bought it from Home Depot and I did not loosen the roots

Check out the NYBG link -- it'll give you step-by-step instructions.

If the rootbal is dry put hose on slow trickle mear the base and let it run for 1/2 hour or so.

I had a similar issue; yanked out the new plant, filled the hole with water and stuck it back in. Next day and the following week it improved a lot.

Thank you everyone so much! I will test out the soil tomorrow.
