Azalea - Rhododendron
Rhododendron are commonly used for Bonsai.
The Azalea is popular and well-known for its spectacular flowers, which open in late Spring and come in many different colors, shapes, sizes and patterns. In Japan special Azalea Bonsai festivals are organized around the time the trees flower. For an Azalea to flower abundantly you need to time your pruning and fertilizing well.
The leaves of the Azalea bonsai are dark green and differ in size and shape, depending on the cultivar. Satsuki and Kurume azaleas are evergreen, small shrubs which are very suitable for Bonsai purposes, and should be kept outdoors.
The Azalea grows fine branches that result in a beautiful ramified branch structure. The branches of an Azalea can be brittle especially when the tree grows older, so be careful when wiring your tree.
Azaleas thrive at a sunny spot, but during the hottest time of the day in summer it is better to provide some shade. When flowering, azaleas should be protected from rain and hot sun to make the flowers last longer. Healthy, mature azaleas can endure some frost but should be protected from colder temperatures than 40° F (-5° C).
Azalea Bonsai trees must not dry out but they also don't like permanent wetness. Because of this it is necessary to check the moisture of the soil very carefully. A root ball that has gotten too dry temporarily should be dunked in a bowl of water to get thoroughly moistened again. Azaleas need a slightly acid soil and hard tap water is not appropriate for them. You can use rainwater, mix rainwater with tap water or filter your tap water for the azalea Bonsai.
