I've been worried about the health of my Azalea for a while now. During the summer, it was super hot in Netherlands, some of the leaves started to turn brown. This while I was watering every day (sometimes even 2x, on the 33+ celcius days). That brown color was explainable then, but the tree is now almost completely brown and quite some leaves are falling off as well. This started happening recently. I now water every 2/3 days and have stopped fertilizing for a while. Can anyone advise me on what to do now? Is it normal for the rhododendron to have leaves fall off at the end of autmn?
Thank you very much!

That plant looks dead to me. I can't tell if it is inside or out but if it has been inside then that is a problem.

I agree. Looks totally dead. My guess is that it is kept a glass conservatory and the reason for the death was too much sun and overheating in summer. Azalea is a shade plant and likes cold conditions. If you are to try again, put it in full shade during heat waves.
