Air tools are often rated as âAverage CFM.â âAverage CFMâ is typically based on a 25% duty cycle (15 seconds out of a min.). This sometimes creates a problem with tools that are used on a continuous basis (ex. orbital sanders, die grinders, etc).
Step 1. Clip 6-inch cuttings from a healthy azalea bush. Cut close to a leaf node because the bottom node is where the new plant's roots will grow. Remove the bottom leaves from the cuttings and discard. Step 2. Pour two or three tablespoons of rooting compound into a separate dish.
Long cuttings can often be cut into several sections. Azaleas root very easily during the winter months. Take a look at the special page on Dormant Azalea Cuttings. On rhododendrons, wound the base of cuttings by removing some bark on both sides with a sharp knife.
