I purchased healthy Azalea Encores and they remained beautiful. Then I noticed that some of the tips on the leaves are turning brown. Now, more and more leaves are doing that. There are still healthy green leaves, and I have been watering them regularly. I can not seem to find any diseases which give this symptom. Also, they have not bloomed nor do they have any buds on them. Being encores they should bloom atleast twice a year. I live in the south and have alot of clay in the soil.

Brown leaf tips usually means not enough water-- OR frosted tips in the winter. However, Azaleas love acid soil and I want to say that clay soil is more alkaline-- so get the soil tested and then amend as needed-- Pine needles for mulch will help-- heap them on-- and acid plant fertalizer. There is an azalea fertalizer.
Mine had been neglected for untold years-- after I bought the house I applied the azalea fertlizer and scouted around for pine needles-- they are much bigger and happier and had wonderful full blooms this year.
good luck

Your pretty bushes are pot bound. You should plant them directly into the ground. Dig a hole 1/3 larger all round and as deep than the present size of the pot. A 25 pound bag of good potting soil is sufficient for planting. After the hole is dug. pour in a bucket of water and let it soak in. Crumble half a dozen egg shells and lay them in the bottom and around the sides. Acquire a fish at the fish market and chop it up and spread it around the hole. then put some potting soil in Turn the pot the Azalea is in up side down and tap around the sides and bottom till the plant dislodges. Place the bush into the hole and making sure the top is about an inch above the hole. Use the potting soil to pack tightly around all sides of the root ball.Add water as needed to help packing. put a thin layer of potting soil over all. Water daily for two weeks then alternate every 2/3 days and gradually taper off letting nature take over.

Hollytone and a acidic fertilizer should help.Holly tone once in the spring and again in the fall. I would go ahead and sue the hollytone now. Then again in the fal. And apply the ferilizer monthly.
