non flowering azalea

Two years ago I moved a mature Azalea which flowered each year without fail. Since the move it has not flowered although the plant it self looks healthy enough. The ground conditions are the same as only moved it 5/6 metres. Any Ideas as to how I an get it to flower again.

    Give it time?  I expect it's spending all it's energy growing new roots to replace all those that got chopped off.  Have you been feeding it?  Mulching with ericaceous soil?

     Thanks for the tips I have been feeding but only the normal amount, maybe I'll up it some and try the mulch as well.

    I'd stay with the recommended amount, excess feed can cause all sorts of issues.  Give it a good mulch of proper ericacous soil though.. that will do it some good.
