Got that slanted, bushy fellow. It’s already pulled out new growth and buds. I think I’ll leave just one bud to know what color is it. Which style do you aim for?


Repotted, but of course I broke a main branch from the top (bottom.. or.. so down in the top of the plant..)

But it needs a thicker trunk and...
WIRES!

not bad material

Yes Sir, yes
Thickness is.. Sometimes I can score good materials, with nice nebari, but sometimes not. I’ll pay attention to keep stimulating the thickness of the trunk. I’ll give place for the root growth, but I cannot put in the land.

Thanks Crent We’ll see if I can bring out the nice face from it.

Wired! I broke no more than 10 branches... :dry: With a little pruning, maybe we can see the movement what I try to achieve following the natural movement of the trunk. Finally I like that thingy... I hope to make something nice from it.

Pruned a bit..

Let it rest for a while...
My rate of killing Azaleas tells me they have a certain point of "no fiddling anymore!".

On the other hand, let's try to improve your wiring skills (that are already pretty good considering the little time you have been doing it):
- Don't leave loose wire around the turns, it will be less effective and hurt the branch when you bend it.
- Don't do it in a hurry, and finish your 45 degrees turns till the end. I am sure it is not laziness, so...


Keep up the good work on them!

Thanks Clicio, I’ll let it now. It’s enough torture for that short time
And thank you for the wiring suggestions, it’s really helpful! I’ll show on the new Serissa, when I feel it’s ready.

Repotted, wired and pruned a shy week ago.
Those are really growing like weed... Why I don’t see them much with beginners?

That's why the mantra goes:
"Do it in the Spring!"
