Winter Blooming Azalea

Question

I have a potted azalea that is in a bay window and it bloomed in the last few weeks of Dec. and Jan. Could you explain why?

Answer 1

The conditions were right for it to bloom. Plants do not look at a calendar to decide when to bloom, they go by the amount of light they get, the temperature and the amount of water they recieve. For your azalea, you bay window was in mid-spring mode.
