This is basically my East Texas bonsai soil mix, except I get some red lava rock and break it up into pea or pebble sized chunks and add it to the soil too. Drains great, works great! I also add some cactus/palm potting soil to help with drainage.

[@kurtauerbach5883]

Great one for bonsai too.

Hi Jim how are you Jim I live in zone 4 can you help me for outdoor plants I buy new house last year I like jasmine plants.......

[@emc14000]

thats a gorgeous shrub and very cute pooch. question is how much watering? i heard they dont like wet feet, correct? also for winter in nyc now how much would you cut down that shrub size you have there or leave it? thankyou of any thots

[@remcat3572]

I think my late husband used potting soil, peat moss, vermiculite and sand. Not even sure he used potting soil, but all peat moss would be too acidic, right? Trying to remember his exact recipe to re-pot the azaleas and camellias he left us. Wherever it is you live, it is beautiful!

[@Tommytoolsqueezer]

Peat moss is good for Azaleas, they like it slightly on the acidity side of the pH scale.

[@4everandever11]

Beautiful Azalea 🌺 do you sell it? I wanna buy some good Azaleas, mine dried out((

[@sammysworld5485]

Hi Jim. Do you still have this Encore Azalea in this container? I had to dig one up & container plant one last Spring. It’s still doing nicely. I plan to root prune maybe next Spring so I can keep it in the same pot. Not sure what kind it is but it only blooms once & stays real small.

[@sunshinecarnivores1919]

Can you also use compost mixed with succulent soil and perlite for the potting mix?

[@martinicu]

Can you tell me the brand of the pine bark you used. I have an Encore Coral in a three gallon container also going to plant in another pot. Thanks

[@Encoreazalea]

Any fine pine bark will do! If it's unavailable, you may use compost. Happy planting!

[@JV-dx5uv]

So what's a good size in cm for a pot to put them in permanently? En is 1 enough?

[@tionnislane12]

Can the azalea stay in the pot through the winter?

[@Encoreazalea]

It can! Here's some helpful tips: encoreazalea.com/plant-care/overwintering-keeping-encores-indoors/

[@learngardeninguk66]

Don’t you need a acidic soil for azaleas?

[@lovely.ameeeee485]

Yes

[@sunshinecarnivores1919]

People keeping telling me you can't grow azaleas in a container and need to be in the ground.

[@manasapk]

Are they fragrant?

[@khizerchoudhary5614]

No

[@abisho12017]

Smell like a wet fart with the fertilizer for the first few days.

[@julieharris6095]

Get your health checked out , you were out of breath doing that

[@Treeofwysdm]

Julie YOU try potting plants while talking the entire time! 😂
