azalea

Impulse buy... tips?! I’ve been told of watering (2-3 times a week) and sunlight restrictions (mostly shade). I’ve had it for about two weeks now. I wanted to make sure I could keep it alive before doing any work on it. I wanted to see if there was any tips for growth or changes to the existing...

Hello all! Thread for my new azalea japonica, picked up cheap from a nursery near my work. This will be the last in my collection...for now ;) I wanted to try to develop a flowering bonsai, because who doesn't love flowers?! I read about choosing one that is a single plant rather than a...

Hello there. This is one of my first posts and I'd like to share a new nursery semi-dwarf Azalea I'd like to enter in your contest. I bought it in this 3 gal pot mainly because of the nice established roots and trunk flair. I cut the pot down before the first pic to tease the roots a bit. The...

“Hi - I’m Iggy the Azalea!” Hey everyone, glad to have stumbled onto the board. Looks to be a thriving community! I’ve been a bonsai fan my entire life, have owned a few, and unfortunately seen a few die for various reasons (usually trusting roommates to care for them while out of town)...

Hey, I received this Azalea 10 days ago via mail delivery, kept it inside for couple of days, then moved it in a small greenhouse. It was already a bit brownish on a side when I received it, and I thought it was because of the mail trip...but it still has brown spots....can you guys tell me...

I dug up this struggling azalea today. It's about 15 years old and I just temporarily put it in this pot to see if it's worth trying to save. What do you all think? I like the trunk but I don't know how much to cut and such. Thanks!

Hey all, This is my first post, I am fairly new to bonsai, only been practicing for a little over a year. I recently purchased a Golden Lights azalea, I am not sure what species of azalea that falls into. The card that came with the azalea says "Northern Lights Hybrid" I assume someone cooked...

This was one of the first plants that I bought when I became interested in bonsai. Earliest pictures are from 2017. The tree as purchased, less than $10 after tax. Repotted and pruned, sitting in kanuma.

My satsuki azalea is killing branches.. this has been happing for about 3 months.. I thought it was because one day if was not watered, but now, branches that were well 1 month ago are dying now, I already lost 3 branches.. what do you think is happening?

I recently dug this azalea from a landscape of a house being demolished. It had to be emergently dug up to save it. It’s now about 2 weeks stable in a pre bonsai pot with good soil and recovering. I removed about 80% or more of the foliage and it is growing again with several branches showing...

Hi! I'm new to bonsai care. I live in Ohio and I'm not sure whether my plant is suffering due to winter dormancy, overwatering, underwatering, or what. I will post pictures, but most leaves are brown. Up until a few weeks ago, I would constantly see new dead leaves that have fallen to the...

My friend has a cool looking azalea (not sure what variety) that his parents want to propagate. They've tried taking cuttings but they have failed to take root. I live in zone 8b.

Potential front of tree: Using my hand to show trunk width: Potential back of tree: I'm replacing several azaleas in the front yard. I dug up and potted this beautiful azalea last weekend. The trunk is approximately 4 inches across with a lot of movement. There is an 1.5 inch tall hole in...

My Satsuki Azalea in training is due for a repot. I’m in southwest Virginia. I think that it’s still dormant but want to be sure I’m not crazy. Should I repot or do you think it’s dead? Thanks for the feedback!

I originally posed this question to @Giga. He gave me great information, but then suggested that I start a thread. So here is my question I posed to him. The red azalea I bought from you is really doing well. It had beautiful red flowers all over it. The last flower is about to fade away...

Seller told me the tree sat in a 15 gal container for over a decade. Not real interesting material, straight trunk sections. The roots fused together unevenly, doesn't look so good. Double trunks look good when one is larger than the other; these trunks are very similar in size... Tree sat...

I am officially new to the world of bonsai. Previously an avid ( and currently) cacti owner. I decided to go from the least attention needing plant to one of the most. :) I just bought an azalea tree in a mall bonsai art gallery. I'm not convinced this may be the healthiest tree, but I'm going...
