How to care for azalea bonsai and how to shape azalea bonsai

1. Bonsai maintenance methods

1. Watering: It likes sufficient water needs, so when watering, the soil should not be too dry or waterlogged to avoid poor plant growth. You can give it more water during the flowering period, but it should not be waterlogged.

2. Fertilization: When the plant sprouts flower buds, it is necessary to apply certain fertilizers to it. It is best to apply some light fertilizer water. This will meet the plant's growth requirements and make it bloom more.

3. Light: In addition to avoiding the stimulating light in summer, the plants need to be given abundant sunlight in other seasons.

2. Common bonsai shapes

1. Umbrella style: trim the main trunk of the plant to about 10 cm, then keep only 5 main branches around the trunk and let them extend naturally. In addition, some of the branches that are too long at the top need to be trimmed to ensure the balanced shape of the plant.

2. Prone branch type: It is better when the plant is still a seedling. Then develop at the top of the plant, allowing the branches to grow downward, and gradually become a prone shape.

3. Cantilever type: After cutting the main trunk, use metal wire to tie it to 90 degrees, so that the plant can grow horizontally in this direction.
