[IBC] Azalea cuttings
What is the best time of the year to get azalea cuttings for rooting?
Is woody, green or in-between the best type? ****** You may get better answers than mine, but the best time for Azalea cuttings for me is just after the plants have bloomed. * The best kind if wood is in-between. * What one book I have calls "firm wood" cuttings. * Not the limp green growth and not the hard wood that breaks fairly clean when bent but the firm wood which will not break all the way through when bent, but splinters. ****** Brent Watson at A HREF="www.evergreengardenworks.com"www.evergreengardenworks.com/A has some great tutorials on rooting cuttings.

[IBC] azalea cuttings
What is the best time of the year to get azalea cuttings for
rooting? Is woody, green or inbetween the best type? Whenever you are trimming your plants. While "in between" may be best, in my experience most azalea cuttings will root at most any time (except outdoors in midwinter). Use rooting hormone.

Billy is right. Wait for the new shoots to extend to a few inches and
all the new leaves to harden off. Snap the stems off cleanly where they join last years growth. Strip off the lowest leaves. Hormone dip and root in a 50/50 peat and drainage material such as sharp sand or vermiculite. Keep in partial shade and mist regularly. I don't water the soil on mine again until I notice new growth. Some root in a month or so and others take 2 or 3 months.
