What's the best way to handle a plant that you know has a nitrogen deficiency? Should I just start her on a regular feeding schedule? Any special tricks?

feeding it some nitrogen should work.

An alternating feeding schedule that slowly rises the nitrogen level along with light foliar feeding should fix it up quick.

30-10-10 Azalea Plant Food should work. Just make sure to dilute it to 1/4 teaspoon per gallon.

I don't see why you couldn't soak worm-castings in water then pour over soil----Don't quote me but I believe worm-castings are high in nitrogen.

You can put any vegetable trimmings (anything green) on the soil and let it just rot there for a few days. Fresh green cuttings (celery leaves, spinach, beans, etc.) are all rich in N.
