This azalea is very aggressive this year! Man!
I wonder if I should repot next spring...
Might cut back those longest ones tomorrow.

Its coming along nicely! Look at all that growth compared to first post just a year ago, what are you feeding this thing? Muscle milk?

Probably won't cut it back again until it blooms next year.....and its been 2 full years in this pot.....gonna leave it until see a drainage issue or some other issue.

My flowers are beginning to open up....they are noticeably smaller than before....
Sup wit dat?
Possible result of Mancozeb overspray?
I've used daconil this year once as well.

Very delicate and pretty color.

Do you do full sun or part shade? I like the new pot.

It gets basically full sun....partly shaded by other taller trees in the hottest part of the day.

Thanks. I need to move mine into morning sun instead of full, it’s not doing so hot. Also I am going to try the miracle gro, that may be a lot of the reason.
