I just repotted 4 azaleas and ~20 hours later they are drooping. Before repotting they were blooming and had very dry leaves, almost like a artificial plant, though the soil was moist. The roots of 4 plants were well watered but a solid mass with very little soil in the original pot. There were no insects visible on the plants or in the soil. I used miracle grow potting soil (seems to be the same as what they were in) with a little miracle grow seed starter soil mixed in.
The white and pink plants looked great and only just started drooping. But two others started drooping hours after replanting. I used liquid miracle gro plant food/fertilizer on those two but still no change. I've read that's not a good idea right after repotting.
They had indirect sunlight today, room temperature, but most leaves and blooms are drooping. Full sun did not help.
How can I keep them from dying?
Is there a specific soil out there I could buy? Other than online, I'm limited to Lowe's, Home Depot, Meijer's, Kmart type of stores.
