Question
When is the appropriate time of year to cut prunings from azeleas for rooting in pots?

Answer
Hi Rob,
Thanx for your question.  Wait to take new growth cuttings after the shrubs have completed their blooming period.  The best time is late spring or early summer depending upon your part of the country.  Take cuttings from new, green growth and avoid taking woody cuts as they are more difficult to root.  The best time to root new cuttings is in the summer and fall.  Winter is not a good time unless you have an indoor light setup and heating pads.  I hope this helps.
