Thanks John!

... I know, I know, pot is not good ...

In a new pot, it looks better! ... Do you think the same?

Hi Mario,

I think the shape of this pot is fine for your tree, and the color is pretty with this variety - 'Gyoten'.

If I may offer you a couple of suggestions concerning azaleas...

First, they have a fine root system that needs protection. Your tree is planted a little too high, but that may because this pot is really too shallow.

Second, azaleas are always happier when slighty overpotted - this pot is too small - and like I mentioned, could be deeper. Although the color was terrible (for the flowers), the first pot you showed from when your tree was taller is a well proportioned azalea pot.

Check out my "Elaeagnus" thread about the sphagnum, that would help here too.

Good luck!

Russell

Hi Russell,

Well spoken! Today I put in a bowl of moss, preserving the fine roots. I have no more appropriate pot. After a few days I will put the photos!
Thanks

regards
Mario

I put moss, which will keep moisture in the pot. Next 3 years, more than anything, I change ... I am satisfied!

Hi Mario.

Nice development and nice tree.

Stunning Mario. Do you remove flowers to keep an overall shape? I remove up to 60% of my flowers on Satsuki to prevent an overall loss of shape.

Yes, I put out flowers, this weekend! Thanks

Fantastic plant, Mario!
Is the photo taken after some rain or after misting?
I misting permitted when there are flowers on the plants?
