Morning everyone. For the first time since I’ve had this azalea it doesn’t appear to have any buds. It has often flowered very early but I don’t know what’s happened this year I can’t see any at all 🤔 #foliagefriday #azalea-indica-inga

I wouldent never have tried celery pelly if it wasent for you, l didn't have any luck with the lettest. Iv planted some potatoes peelings only about a week ago and they are sprouting through already. I can't believe how many potatoes l had the last time by just doing that, and they were new potatoes has well. They don't tell you that in the gardening books do they. 🤔🤔

I’m delighted to see this looking healthy again as it got a nasty dose of rust. I took off all the affected leaves and sprayed it with Rose Clear and it’s done the trick 💚💚

It's amazing how fast plants recover and look beautiful again. I had rust all over my hollyhocks, so I sprayed them with Rose Clear and this year they're massive. I must remember to take a picture.

Morning Jane, with all these frosts it won't be a surprise if you find it drops a few buds. If it's in a pot is recommend you bubble wrap the pot or fleece the whole plant as I've done @pelly

I didn’t get any info with mines Jane..mines is a small bushy plant just now but it was covered in blooms in the spring so it will make a lovely standard if your going to train it as one..I’ve just done just the usual acid soil and feed and it’s coming on slowly but surely 😘

Azalea grow best in 4.5 to 6.0 pH, well-drained, organic soils. Add composted Pine bark, peat, wood chips as much possible. Since they are shallow rooted plant the root ball higher.
