A miniature azalea with a big personality! Lustrous, deep green leaves make for a contrasting backdrop to the ruffled pink flowers. Considered a very pretty, and much longer-lived, alternative to a bouquet of freshly cut flowers, Azalea flandresse ‘Pink’ does have a few essential requirements (see the care tips below) but will reward the patient and attentive houseplant gardener with a superior pot plant for indoors or a warm, winter greenhouse.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. - Home care: Keep in a cool, humid room where it will receive plenty of light, and keep well watered - taking care to never let the compost dry out completely. If possible, water with rain water, particularly if you live in a hard water area. Maintain temperatures around 15°C and mist with water on a daily basis. After all risk of frost has passed, the plants can be moved outside during the warmer months before being moved back inside again in the autumn. Feed in spring with a diluted (half-strength) liquid feed that is suitable for acid-loving plants.
