I got it in February but i just wanted to watch how it grows, how it likes to eat, what type of light/wind does it like before i started hacking and chopping at it..
I feel comfortable enough now to begin moving forward but i have a few questions (to start)...
1. There are a couple mature branches that i am concerned will cause a reverse taper, can branches be removed while its dormant?
2. Best time to re-pot; after buds break or after first growth hardens?
3. Per "Queen Judy" Kanuma is recommended, pure Kanuma or can i mix with a little Peat Moss? "My Azalea seems to love the added Peat"
4. Need help trying to figure out where to chop... I had 3 different ideas and a plain one for additional suggestions...
