Leftwood said:I would use straight peat, myself. There will be less fungal problems. Your azalea seeds should be super tiny, and if you get them to sprout, you'll see how super tiny the seedlings are. Then you'll understand why they are not planted directly outside.


I've got mine setup now hopefully they do well!

I wouldn't say tiny makes them vulnerable lots of plants start out Itsy bitsy, it's the need for acidic soil and the right humidity and water combo that makes growing outside at first hard, once they get 4-6 true leaves they grow good outside.
