Got my first azalea one has a pink flower for $20 each.

Do these need something special in the soil for ph? Or can i use my existinng mix which is mainly pummice, bark, zeolite and add some supplement for ph?
I was thinking a twin trunk thus picked these two? Thoughts!!

My azaleas are all growing in my standard mix like all the trees here.
Pumice is neutral, pine bark should be a little acid so your mix should also be fine for azaleas.

I have all my Azaleas in Kanuma exclusively, but a good well draining mix will be fine.
