After flowering

It hasn’t even started looking like it’s going to flower. Speaking to the previous owner, she says she hasn’t seen it flower. She had it about 12 month before I got it from her. Is it even a Azalea??

I would say it is an azalea. No flowerbuds as far as I can see. So flowering will have to wait for next year.

Can’t see any buds so doesn’t look like you’ll see anything this year. Like Leatherback said, maybe next year if you can get it that far

When would you recommend repotting it into the kanamu soil LB?

Azalea are actually often repotted in early may, just after flowering. I think I would still do it to be honest. But then again.. I have little mercy and do loose plants every once in a while ue to being impatient.

Were it in my garden I would do a gentle repot. Aftercare and weather the next weeks (Not hot & dry but cloudy and calm) is going to determine your succeslevel

I have a new pot on the way and I think I’ll bite the bullet and gently put it into the kanamu soil.
I noticed some of its leaves look almost dead but other are a nice vibrant green with a shiny coating.
Is it wise to take off the discoloured leaves or just leave it as it is for now?

The name of the acidic Japanese soil is Kanuma.
It is indeed an Azalea.
I would not repot this year, wait for the flowers next year and prune/repot in May.
I kill Azaleas regularly, so I tend to be conservative with them.

Thanks Clicio,
I’ll take your advise. Apologies for the miss spelling. Kanuma. Got it!
