    I'd call your local nursery to get more information for your area and project. Not sure you can save them, depends on how broke .

    Usually once a fragment of an Azalea bush is off, that is the end of it. So sorry.

    cut broken piece off, - separate into 3" - 4" pieces - dampen end of each, dip into rooting hormone powder, like ROOTONE - I get mine at Ace hardware - stick damp ends into pan of vermiculite, or shallow pan of dirt, - slide pan & pieces into a plastic bag to keep it from drying out - moisten every few days & it MAY root to grow you new azaleas.

    Hi Susan, you can get it to grow, trim the cut ends of the azalea stem cuttings just below a point of leaf attachment. Remove all leaves from the bottom third of the cutting, and remove all flower buds. Dip the stem end of each cutting in a rooting hormone. Insert the lower one-third of each cutting into the medium, such as peat moss or potting soil, once rooted, you can plant it.
