Bobert,

The azalea seedlings P-vine and you brought me are doing right well.   I'm wondering when I should pot them up to a bigger pot. Should they be root-bound, or simply have a nice network of roots that lifts the rootball fairly intact from the pot? Also, when I do pot them up to a bigger pot, should I take it slow and do graduated pots, or go ahead and put them in a standard azalea pot?

Insecticidal soap is controlling the lace bugs well enough on the Kohmo Shekebu, tho' that azalea appears to be a little sensitive to the insecticidal soap. The lace bugs had also just started on the two seedlings. I treated them also, at the first sign of trouble. Neither of them seem to be as sensitive to leaf burn from the soap as the KS.

I may go ahead and use pyrethrum (spelling?) on the KS, and try to eliminate them all together.

I also bought some "all-season" organic dormant oil spray, as I read somewhere that a combination of insecticidal soap and summer dormant oil is an effective control.   However, I find myself uncertain about using it. I've only used dormant oil in late winter on roses.    Any one have any thoughts or experience with the use of dormant oil once shrubs are fully leafed?
