I am certainly not an expert with this genus, but I do have 3 types in pots that have given me a lot of pleasure during the drab winter months here in Missouri. I grow them like I do Florist's azaleas: moist acidic humusy soil, bright indirect light, very little pruning, and weak fertilizer solution when watering. Once a year, in late spring, I topdress with a little special fertilizer for acid-loving plants. If given too much shade flowering will be sparse, but on the other hand, hot direct sun will scorch the leaves. I usually put them out for the summer under the dappled shade of trees. A mulch over the soil in the pot helps conserve moisture for the shallow roots. When indoors for the winter, try to keep cool (50 to 60 degreesF at night).
