Azalea

Muniz, thanks for posting your Azalea. I also have a small one that has just decided to bloom. Thought they did that in spring! I, too, have it in a large pot so it will continue to thicken up some.I plan to cut the branches back somewhat after it's finished blooming. I also brought it in the house temporarily because that 100 degree heat was causing it to wilt.

Matt, it is in desperate need of re-potting. Am I correct that it is OK to do that after it's done blooming even if it's mid-summer?

Usually the best time is just before the last flowers have opened, but if they have already, that's OK too. There is an article on azalea repot at TreeBay Bonsai Tools & Supplies (in the Articles section) with additional details. Nice flowers!
