CAM--
Yes--I think you are about right on the DV Azalea. Mine is years and years old....

The BP's are in a large tray with 6 cells. Each cell is equivalent to a 3"pot.
I will cut the cells apart--and that is how I will share this plant.
You will need to pot them up into, at least, a 6" pot for now. Let it grow,
unpruned, for at least the first 2 years. Then--play it by ear....
Cutting the stems back that have bloomed wil allow it to grow more stems.
The flowers come on the tips of new stems.

Mine is pretty large--and I pruned it last fall leaving only one new stem on it.
It is, at this time, in a 10" pot and is 1-1/2 fot tall.

Here are what the cuttings look like now. I will cut them apart as needed.
If I give you 3--I can leave them in a strip of 3 "pots"

Gotta get off my tush and get something done instead of sitting here all day....
Gotta mow the lawn--for one...
