If a soil test reveals that nutrients are extremely low, fertilize azaleas in the spring or fall. Use a granular, slow-release fertilizer that is acid-forming and apply a very light scattering around the edge of the root zone of the plant.f a soil test reveals that nutrients are extremely low, fertilize azaleas in the spring or fall.

Too much water or poorly drained soil might be another explanation of sudden azalea death. Azaleas have very fine, fibrous roots that are easily damaged by waterlogging, even for short periods of time. Before you plant your azalea, dig a hole and fill it with water. If the water has not drained out of the hole within one hour, the soil is poorly drained and you must correct the drainage problem before planting. Install a perforated pipe or drain tile in the garden, making sure that the outlet is lower than the bottom of the planting hole, or build raised beds.
