Rhododendron indicum. Bonsai 9 years. Azalea

Rhododendron indicum. Bonsai 9 years. Azalea. These are trees that, by nature, must be placed outside, ideal for balconies, gardens and terraces. Evergreen tree. The Azalea is very appreciated for its flowering. There are thousands of varieties and new ones are discovered every day.

Location: Outdoor throughout the year.

Watering: Abundant in summer, moderate in winter. It requires pure water, with an acidic pH. It does not support lime.

Curiosities: In Japan, the cultivation of azaleas (“Satsuki”) as bonsai forms a separate discipline, having its own association of amateurs and professionals. Azalea, unlike most plants designed as bonsai, has more vigour in the lower branches than in the apex, which we must take into account when pruning and pinching.

Dimensions in centimetres approx. (width x depth x height): 27 x 33 x 37 cm.

Note: The shape and measurements of the bonsais are approximate. The pot is included on the dimensions. The colour and shape of the pot may vary from that of the photo. A bonsai is a living being, so the vegetative state of the plant changes according to the season. The images that appear are non-binding illustrative pictures.
