I am usually a non-fertilizer person but I am getting anxious and want to speed up the progress of some azalea seedlings and rooted cuttings. I plan to ...
Mike, You asked for it, so here it is. My azalea data base is done in a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet, so if you can't work with Lotus, then you will have to ...
Mike, I have used a diluted fertilizer on my inside grown seedlings for over 30 years and I seems to work very well. This process does help in preventing...
Bill, Thanks for posting your Satsuki Lotus spreadsheet. You and I may be the only people left who use Lotus. I loved the integrated graphing capability (*.pic...
Tom, Yup, when I was having fun working at the Naval Research Lab, I was directed by my boss to get schooling on Lotus Ver.1 (back in the IBM AT days). From...
Bill and Mary, Since I also do azaleas (native only), rhodys, and camellias, I will be happy to swap you some native azalea seed from this part of the county...
Thanks for the offer, Jim, but Mary and I don't get involved with propagating at all. I'd be willing to send you seed from camellias.................if I...
Michael, I have found the heartnuts at Reflection Riding Arboretum, but not the tree that produce them. We suspect the critteres have collected them and...
During lunch I visited a chain store that starts with W and ends with art, and made quite a find in new material for my clear or translucent propagation domes ...
I am no expert on plant damage to azaleas, but the photos seem to indicate a combination of three causes: improper nutrition or drainage, exposure to severe ...
... In general, plant physiologists explain plant behavior by showing how such behavior assists in plant survival. Such characteristics are naturally selected...
Has anyone ever had any luck in rooting an evergreen azalea or rhododendron by simply sticking a short woody piece of stem into the media (or ground) in a pot...
Hi Mike! Your many experiments may very well yield great new ways of propagation. I wish that more people would be trying a lot of different ideas, as you are...

Barry, thank you greatly for speaking up. I was about to think I had been black-balled from the azalea yahoo list since people so seldom reply when I say...
Hey Mike.. Keep up the work and sharing. Please remember that some of the "Readership" is getting older, (this one especially) and as I recall in my dotage,...
Hey Mike, I tend to agree with Jim Minor about the 'dog days of summer', so do not despair on not getting any feed back. We older folks, eg. "Geezers", get a...
Hello everyone. I'm a newbie to the message boards/society so pardon me if I am covering an old topic. My experience with sucessful cuttings taking hold in...
Besides being an Azalea Nut, I am a plant drainage enthusiast, if there is such a thing, and think that most pots are poorly designed in terms of effective ...
I looked up Kanuma. It is manganese rich acidic "Kitty Litter" with the ability to absorb toxins and odors, like zeolites or activated charcoal. In long term...
I recently added an image to the photo section. I ran across this unusual azalea last year and am hoping someone will confirm its identity. I believe it to be...
Dear Kawikasc, Please do not sell yourself short on azaleas. Many of us will never have the guts to bonsai an azalea let along get it to live in the stringent...
Hi "kawikasc", 'Otakumi', listed as a Wada hybrid (one i and in single quotes to indicate a cultivar name as listed in the IRRC), is pictured in one of the...
Hi Bill, I found what little information I have on the azalea in Galle's book, 2nd printing page 134. It states that "it is a relatively newly identified...

Bob, How'd you do that. I couldn't figure out how to attach a photo to this group message board. Are you folks hiding the attach file button from me as some...
