Beginner Gardening: Need some advice on an AZALEA, 2 by llest

Hi!

I bought an azalea in a pot a month ago. It looked nice and healthy with white blooms then. Now, the blooms are turning brown and some green leaves are dry and falling off. On the lower part of the stem, there are some young light green leaves that still look healthy and happy.

I have been giving it water every 2nd day, as they recommended in the shop, so that the soil is always not really wet, but moist. I don't pour water directly into the pot, but into the bowl, from where the soil soaks it up. Most of the time the plant has been in the back of the living room, on the opposite side from the windows and light, but lately I put it close to the windows.

I uploaded some photos also. Two of the photos, where the blooms are brown, are taken today and one, where the plant still looks healthy, approximately half a month ago. Yes, I have already read some information over the internet, but still, it is not clear to me if my plant is dying or just getting rid of what needs to be let go?

Thank you!
