Repotting another Azalea Stump

Post by kcpoole »

This tree is another part of the one I bent in this thread, viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2484 .

It was collected several years ago and split off the root mass and potted up separately

As all my azaleas have finished flowering now i thought it time to repot this one into Kanuma. It has a layer of large Kanuma, then medium size and topped with fine. finished off my medium size bag on this one tree :-(

the tree has 5 trunks in a clump style and main trunk on the right will stay the height it is.

Enjoy

Ken

Just beautiful! Very nice stock you have there mate. Could be a prized bonsai in the near future - I love azalea bonsai! :)
Always we hope someone else has the answer.

Just a little bit jealous Ken. I have such problems with them as it not conducive for them here. Believe it or not they dont like the water here.I am doing more experimenting and now watering them out of the dam and they are starting to respond

Ken, where do you keep these azaleas? Shade, part-shade, full sun? I got somehings like small silkworms that residing in newgrowth of my azaleas.
