Azalea Bonsai Tree Care
To keep any Azalea bonsai healthy, remove any dead flowers and leaves just like any other flowering plant. You should grow these bonsai in a bonsai pot or container with a drainage system or hole to prevent excessive water from resting on the roots. Excessive water causes the azalea’s foliage and blooms to brown and can promote disease. You should grow these trees in a pot because you have greater control over its growing environment and you can bring it inside when it blooms to add color in your home. Just place it back outside when it finishes blooming.
When the tree has finished flowering for the year remove the yearly growth, this will help its overall structure. If there are any secondary shoots these should be pruned during midsummer. For the best results, please the Azalea in partial shade, protecting it from heavy rain and frost. You can use the same type of potting soil or fertilizer as you would any other bonsai plant in the Rhododendron family that like acidic soil.
