Your azalea is beautiful. Also, I have recently got a new azalea and was wondering how you get such beautiful blooms. Is there a specific fertiliser you use? My azalea is currently in 100% kanuma. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the late reply—I’ve been busy and haven’t logged into this site in a while.
I’m also growing mine in 100% kanuma and using Osmocote as fertilizer.
Until it reaches the size and shape you’re aiming for, it’s best to grow it in a large pot to promote strong root development and overall vigor.
The photo below shows the tree as it looks today.
Compared to other azaleas, the flowers seem smaller and bloom more densely.
Unless it was propagated from the same tree through cuttings, even azaleas of the same species seem to have their own unique genetic characteristics.

Wow, it looks stunning! If you do not mind, could you specify the exact name of the fertiliser you use, or perhaps a link?

Thank you!
This one’s called Koushun(煌春, こうしゅん). I don’t think it’s a very common variety.
