Rhododendron indicum – Azalea – 27 cm
An azalea bonsai measuring 18 cm in height (excluding the pot) and with a trunk diameter of 1 cm. The plant is grown in a round plastic pot measuring Ø10.5xH9 cm.
This Rhododendron indicum (azalea) bonsai, an evergreen flowering plant, is prized for its colourful spring blooms, which create an elegant and vibrant contrast with the green of its leaves. The leaves are small and oval, and bright green during the growing season. As an evergreen, it retains its foliage all year round; in the colder months, the leaves may take on darker or bronze-coloured hues, whilst still retaining their decorative appearance. Grown in a round black plastic pot.
Grow bonsai outdoors all year round, taking care to place it in a sheltered spot during the colder months and in partial shade during the warmer months. Azaleas also benefit from a well-ventilated position.
Always respect the dry and wet cycles: whenever the soil feels dry to the touch, water abundantly. Then wait for the soil to dry before watering again in the same way.
