How can I revive my dying azalea? Please help

11 years ago

So I'm really horrible at keeping plants alive, but this is probably my record for the shortest time it took me to kill a plant. A few weeks ago I bought a potted azalea, it was blooming. I watered it about three days after I bought it and it was still fine, then I didn't water it for like three days, because I figured I'll water it once a week like most plants need, but after those three days passed it started dying. The blooms suddenly became sag, so I remembered reading somewhere that azaleas need to be water a lot, almost every day, I started doing exactly that. For about a week I watered it every day and there was no change. Then yesterday I didn't water it and I woke up this morning to find the plant black and, well pretty much dead. My grandma seems to think I over watered it and it rotted out, but according to her floweres should be watered once a week. I really want to save this plant, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Should I repot it? Keep on watering it like I have? Please give me some advice. I keep it indoors, right by the window, there's a lot of sunlight early in the mornings, but pretty dark during the rest of the day. I don't know what humidity is here, but I live in Lithuania, a European country right by the Baltic sea.
