Repotting azaleas this way makes keeping them alive not difficult

Repotting azaleas requires attention to four aspects. The first is whether this pot of azaleas of yours has adapted to the local environment. The soil used for growing azaleas is composed of six parts leaf mold and four parts kanuma soil. Kanuma soil has fairly strong water absorption, and its particles are relatively large.

So this kind of soil has fairly good water absorption, and at the same time fairly good drainage. For a plant like the azalea with a relatively weak root system, it is quite suitable. The second aspect is about choosing the flower pot. First, regarding the material of the flower pot, everyone had best choose a clay pot, not a purple clay pot. Clay pots have the best breathability, which is the most beneficial for growing azaleas.

The third is the choice of flower pot size. The newly changed flower pot must not be larger than the azalea's original root ball. When a large pot is used to grow a small plant, watering cannot soak through. Otherwise, for a fragile azalea with a relatively weak root system, the risk is relatively great.

The fourth point is pruning. Pruning includes two aspects: first the roots, and second the branches and leaves. The purpose of pruning is to remove the older part of the root system on the outside, exposing the more vigorous roots inside.

In this way, after the azalea is repotted, it can quickly come into contact with the new soil, which is relatively beneficial for the azalea's growth. The role of pruning branches and leaves is to reduce the azalea's water evaporation. This can effectively raise the azalea's survival rate. Do not prune the roots too harshly; we only need to lightly trim them, just refreshing the old outer roots.
