About this plant
A flowering pot plant, 30 to 40 cm, covered in white, magenta or pink flowers. It does best in a cool, bright room out of direct sun.
The indoor azalea (Rhododendron simsii) is a compact, evergreen shrub originally from China. It is grown as a flowering pot plant and, when in bloom, is covered with funnel-shaped flowers that can almost hide its small, dark green leaves. We offer it in white, magenta and pink.
In Dubai, azaleas are best treated as long-lasting flowering plants for indoors. They like cool, bright rooms out of direct sun, and air conditioning helps the flowers last longer. They need acidic, constantly moist soil, and Dubai's hard, alkaline tap water slowly yellows the leaves, so filtered or RO water is better. Outdoor heat is too much for them, and getting them to rebloom here takes effort.
They suit dining tables, entrance halls, bedrooms and gift giving, especially in the cooler months. We offer them at around 30–40 cm, in a nursery pot or a ceramic pot.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Azalea healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light in a cool room; no direct sun. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 2–4 days, keeping the soil evenly moist with filtered or RO water; never let it dry out. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: acidic ericaceous mix (peat or bark based). Feeding: an ericaceous (acid) plant feed once a month after flowering, from spring to summer. Common mistake: letting the root ball dry out, which drops the flowers and leaves quickly. Where it works: dining tables, entrance halls, bedrooms and as a gift.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs (grayanotoxin; can cause vomiting, diarrhea, weakness and cardiac failure).

Azalea FAQs
How long do the flowers last?
In a cool, bright room with steady moisture, the display usually lasts several weeks, with buds opening over time.
Can it grow outdoors in Dubai?
No. Dubai heat and alkaline soil do not suit azaleas, so they are best kept indoors as flowering plants.
How often should I water it?
Keep the soil evenly moist, usually every 2–4 days, ideally with filtered or RO water. Never let it dry out.
Is it toxic to pets?
Yes. The ASPCA lists azalea as toxic to cats and dogs, and it can be serious, so keep it well away from pets.
