Feeding an Azalea Plant?

I have an azalea in a pot that is just coming into flower. What can I use to feed it other than buying an ericaceous feed?

First - you don't want to feed Azaleas until after they finish with their blooming. After that - coffee grounds and leftover brewed coffee!

Use pickle juice; when the pickles are gone fill the jar with water, shake well and pour on the soil. I used this for years while living in Florida, after my neighbor gave me his secret.

Azaleas are acid loving plants, mir-acid is all I use.

You can use oak leaves and pines needles raked around your plants to help acidfy the soil. This worked fine for me for years. jjs. W. Palm Beach, FL
