Techniques for propagating azaleas: mainly by cuttings. Selection of cuttings: take current-year semi-lignified branches, snap them off with a heel, remove the lower leaves, and keep 4 to 5 leaves at the top. Cutting time: Western azaleas from late May to early June, hairy azaleas from early to mid-June. Cutting method: home growers mostly use pot cuttings, with river sand or perlite as the medium. When working, insert the cutting one-third or one-half deep, then spray with a fine-nozzle pot and place under a shade shed. Management: within 1 month after inserting, focus on shading and spraying water. Keep the cuttings
