Care and cultivation
Position
The Azalea Bonsai is naturally an outdoor tree - ideal for balconies, terraces, and gardens. It should be kept outdoors all year round, where it can benefit from natural light and seasonal changes that stimulate flowering.
Watering
Abundant in summer, moderate in winter. The Azalea requires pure water with an acidic pH - it does not tolerate hard tap water. Use rainwater or demineralized water to preserve root health and the vibrancy of the foliage.
Interesting fact: the Satsuki discipline
In Japan, cultivating azaleas as bonsai is a true art form called Satsuki, with a centuries-old tradition and a dedicated community of enthusiasts and professionals. One technical detail to know: unlike most bonsai trees, the Azalea has greater vigor in its lower branches than at the apex - an essential aspect to consider when pruning and pinching to maintain the desired shape.
