Put it in small pot.Bring Azalea branch which prepared came planting cuttings,1 pot with 1 branch only. (My experienced ever make multiple branches, it effect as well, but tend to be a problem subject to rot because of overlap and leaf mold and rot the seedlings will necrosis) Keep the pot in crystal plastic bag and tie the bag securely stored in the shade without direct sunlight because azalea be necrosis .Time in culture for 2-3 months, start to unfold the bag, the outside air into the bag, but do not open wide.
