Olga, I can't speak to season or your growing
conditions, but I can tell you abit about azaleas.
Your soil mix sounds fine. Commercial azaleas are
usuall planted in pure peat, they have lots of fine
roots that resemble the peat. If your new soil is in
good contact with the rootball you left behind and you
keep the plant moist not muddy, you should have no
problem. Do not feed until you see new growth
starting.

Hello,
I live in Toronto, Canada. Few days ago I bought
Azalea in Home Depot.

I noticed that roots filed the pot and there was
almost no soil. There were tree plants in one pot.
So I decided to report it. (Not a good idea?)
I trimmed the roots, removed all the flowers, and
repot in three deferent containers. Soil: 2 parts
peat moss, 1 part vermiculite.
Is there any hope?
Since I am in Toronto I have to keep it inside. All
of them are in the basement under fluorescent light
at 10-12C. Any advice?
Thank you,
Olga
