{Rooting Azaleas Is Easy}

You have seen our Admiral Semmes Confederate Azaleas, of which one has been rooted by husband Pieter himself. Gardening on a scale like we do, is asking for quite a large budget and this way you can easily multiply the beauties you already got! Give it a try at home. Now is the TIME!
Saved from a Southern Living Magazine I had this page with Easy tips by Steve Bender.
Maybe some of you would love to know this or try out yourself.

    This is very interesting and sounds fairly easy!
    I'm trying to grow catmint in a pot on our deck now. Green leaves began to come out, and hopefully we will have blooming catmint flowers one day :-)

    Liebe Mariette,
    das habe ich nicht gewusst, dass man Azaleen per Stecklinge vermehren kann. Vielleicht versuche ich es einmal, denn ich habe ein prächtiges Exemplar draußen im Topf, das jedes Jahr ein bisschen geschnitten wird. Danke für den Tipp.
    Liebe Grüße, Johanna

    Ik heb een Azalea die een onbedwingbare aantrekkingskracht had op mijn nieuwe poes. Toen ze net bij ons was heeft ze hem helemaal gekortwiekt. Elke ochtend vond ik de takjes op de vensterbank naast de pot liggen. Gek genoeg is hij daarna heel goed gaan groeien en bloeien, ze heeft blijkbaar groene "pootjes"....

    Lieve Mariette,

    Lang geleden was ik ook wel eens in de weer met planten stekken en stekpoeder en zo.....
    maar door gebrek aan ruimte in huis en tuin ben ik er mee gestopt.
    Planten die ik mooi vind koop ik wel bij kweekerij.
    En Azalia's vind ik wel mooi in grote tuin met statig huis,maar niet in mijn ''landelijke'' stadstuintje.

    Fijne dag en liefs,Ger

    Taking cuttings is a very satisfying thing to do. It does help a lot with the budget as well.

    Liebe Mariette,
    danke für die Hinweise. Ich habe bislang so etwas
    noch nicht gemacht. Es ist aber einen Versuch wert.
    Einen schönen Wochenteiler wünscht dir

    For many many years, I have been saving pages and even whole gardening magazines with precious instructions, but as one can find anything on the web nowadays, I am presently getting rid of the old paper. As for the azaleas, I have been trying for years, but the do not thrive in my area. I still love them a lot!!!!
    Many many hugs!!!

    Questa sì che è un'dea,Mariette cara. Ma tu hai provato? le azalee e i rododendri sono tra i pochi cespugli fioriti che crescono bene nel mio giardino (nord Italia) però non ci ho mai pensato .
    Seguendo queste chiare istruzioni però..... Grazie cara, ottimo suggerimento!
    un bacio
