Flowering Bonsai


Flowering Bonsai Trees

Do you like Azaleas? Well how about Satsuki Azalea-Apple Blossom. The Satsuki Azalea-Apple Blossom, blossoms blooms during the spring and sometimes during the fall if given proper care. The coral pink blooms add to the fresh and natural look to a room. The Azalea needs partial sun and needs watering once or twice a week. The soil needs to remain moist for it to be healthy.
It is in Asia where Azaleas originated. The Buddhist monks cultivated Azaleas in different areas of Asia.
Rhododendron which are Azalea Bonsai are probably the most common of the Bonsai Plants and there are many species to choose from. The nice thing about them is that they are very durable and pleasant to look at. Do not keep these trees indoors for long periods of time. They should however be kept indoors during the winter months. The leaves may droop so if that happens then place outside in the sun temporarily. When you place the Azalea Bonsai outdoors for the summer, make sure you place it in the shade.
The lovely thing about bonsais are that you can shape the Azalea bonsai (or any bonzai) in any style or design you desire. This is why it is an art. You can be creative with bonsai. The different type of styles are: windswept, informal upright root over rock, slanting designs. The most common style with evergreens used by beginners is the upright-informal upright style which looks great.
Do not trim the Azalea Bonsai tree until after flowering, then you remove all the dead flowers. Clip the branches according to your own design. Also place the wire loosely or not too tight so as not to hurt the wood of your Azalea Bonsai Tree.
Fertilize your Bonzai Tree every two weeks. It's best to use bonzai fertilizer.
Ok, that's it for now. I will be back for more bonsai blog. Thank you for visiting my Bonsai Site.
