Care Guide:
Lighting:
Placement: Position your Satsuki Azalea where it can receive bright, indirect sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. Protect it from intense midday sun, especially during summer months.
Watering:
Frequency: Check the soil moisture daily during active growth periods (spring to fall). Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
Technique: Water the soil evenly, ensuring water reaches all roots. Avoid waterlogging or allowing the roots to dry out completely.
Humidity:
Ideal Conditions: Satsuki Azaleas thrive in high humidity. Increase humidity levels by placing the bonsai on a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles. Regular misting of the foliage can also help maintain humidity.
Temperature:
Seasonal Care: Keep the bonsai in a location with consistent temperatures. During winter, protect it from freezing temperatures and draughty areas.
Fertilising:
Schedule: Feed your Satsuki Azalea with a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks during the growing season (spring to summer). Reduce feeding frequency to once a month during fall and winter.
Pruning and Training:
Maintenance: Prune after flowering to maintain shape and promote new growth. Remove dead or yellowing leaves regularly. Wire gently to shape branches during early spring, if necessary.
Repotting:
Timing: Repot every 2-3 years in early spring, using a well-draining bonsai soil mix. Prune roots moderately to encourage new growth and refresh the soil nutrients.
Pest and Disease Control:
Vigilance: Monitor for common pests such as aphids and spider mites. Treat promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil if infestations occur. Ensure good airflow around the bonsai to prevent fungal diseases.
Seasonal Considerations:
Blooming: Enjoy the spectacular display of variegated pink and white flowers in late spring to early summer. Prune spent blooms to encourage future flowering.
Special Notes:
Rest Period: Provide a cooler environment (around 10-15°C) for 4-6 weeks during winter to promote dormancy and prepare for the next blooming cycle.
Enjoy the Journey: Caring for a Satsuki Azalea bonsai is a rewarding experience that combines horticulture with artistry. With proper care and attention, your bonsai will continue to thrive and inspire for many more years to come.
