Growing cuttings and /or splitting larger plants
I believe that you can grow cuttings,but I haven’t ever tried to. I found this article that might help though:" Deciduous azaleas are propagated commercially by seed. Evergreen azaleas and rhododendrons root quickly (6 to 8 weeks) from softwood or semi-hardwood tip cuttings. Cuttings may be made at any time, but June to July cuttings seem most ideal for rooting azaleas, and August to September cuttings seem best for rhododendrons. Make cuttings 3 to 4 inches long, remove lower leaves, and place the cut end in rooting medium. Equal parts of peat moss and clean sharp builder’s sand make an ideal rooting medium. After roots are formed, place the plants in pots or in a protected area and keep well watered." www.extension.oregonstate.edu/catalog/html/fs/fs12/
