Rhododendron Indicum
Heres a little azalea I have just gotten along with a few other different trees from a trade I made.
This one is about 18inches from soil to apex. It needs to be condensed down, or compacted if you will. I like the movement in the trunks and branches, however I wished that they were tighter and more compact. In due time. It is in need of a repot, and was in terrible shape. I havent done much to it, besides put it outside for about two weeks. Its former home was a university greenhouse, where it had lived for about 15 years. (Inside the entire time).
It began to flower last week. And is starting to show signs of rejuvination, however, with temps dropping now into the low 30's here, I am forced to bring it indoors and put into the grow room.
Your thoughts are welcomed.
Paul
