Azalea bonsai maintenance method

Azalea bonsai is a sun-loving plant and requires a lot of light during its growth period, so it is best not to keep it indoors. The dark indoor environment will affect the growth and flowering of the plant.

1. Sunlight requirements: If you want to grow azalea bonsai well, you need to give it a certain amount of sunlight. Generally, it is enough to expose it to the morning sunlight. If you cannot move it outdoors to get sunlight every day, you can place it in a window where it can get sunlight.

2. Reasonable watering: The azalea bonsai needs to be watered reasonably. Water it once every 2 days in spring and autumn, once a day in summer, and control the water in winter. Water it when the soil turns white.

3. Reasonable fertilization: Ying Shang Hong bonsai needs to be fertilized regularly. Generally, if the bonsai pot is not too large or too high, it is best to choose liquid fertilizer for fertilization. Generally, we choose organic fertilizer and fertilize once a month.

4. Temperature control: During the cultivation process of Ying Shang Hong bonsai in winter, it needs to be moved indoors and the temperature should be controlled above 10 degrees. If it is originally indoors, just control the temperature.

5. Soil treatment: After the azalea bonsai has been cultivated for a period of time, the soil will become compacted and needs to be treated. Generally, the soil should be loosened at least twice a year. This can make the soil loose, which is conducive to the growth of the azalea bonsai.

Azalea bonsai pruning and shaping

During the cultivation process of azalea bonsai, some withered branches and leaves will appear. We need to prune them in time. If we don’t want them to grow too tall, we need to top them. If we need to shape them, we can just prune them according to the shape.

Azalea bonsai yellow leaves

The yellow leaves of azalea bonsai may be because it is not planted in suitable soil. The soil is alkaline, and the pH value of the soil can be adjusted. In addition, watering and fertilization should be carried out reasonably during the growth period. Waterlogging and fertilizer damage should not occur, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow.

Azalea bonsai dropping leaves

It may be a normal growth phenomenon for azalea bonsai to drop leaves, and the plant can continue to sprout and grow leaves later. However, the phenomenon of a large number of leaves falling during the growth period is naturally not a normal phenomenon, so the cause needs to be found out in time and remedied correctly.

Azalea Management Notes

When growing azalea bonsai, never deny it sunlight. It is a sun-loving plant and needs to be maintained in the sun. It should also be placed on a sunny balcony or windowsill when maintained indoors. If the maintenance environment is dark, it will be difficult for it to bloom.
