I am new to this and recently aquired a satzuki azalea in a bonsai pot, as well as 2 nursery azalea in 1 gallon pots. Not sure if they will do well in this hot environment. I have them in a.m. sun and afternoon shade
 
Probably not for long. I’d let them get AM sun and PM shade in the winter, but by April and through November, I’d keep them inside the screened-in pool area sitting on the deck in AM sun and shade for the rest of the day. Might get a year or two out of it.

Ok thanks for the help!
 
They have native azaleas in Okinawa, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Vietnam. Maybe those work well in south Florida? What about the American Southern indica's? The more cold-loving narrow leaf satsuki may struggle.
 
I would consider looking around local nurseries for cultivars sold for landscape use. Those cultivars SHOULD be ok for your climate.
