I am not just after the flower with azalea. I also enjoy the small leaves and compact structure. So flower color isn’t a big factor in my decision to air layer.
As for fertilizer, I am in Atlanta and we are in late summer right now. We still have a good two months of growing season left. With an evergreen I thought it would be fine. These teabags will be exhausted in 40-45 days so I am not too concerned.
