About this Flowering Tropical Azalea Bonsai, 9 Years Old (Rhododendron 'Dogwood')
9 years in training and now 13 to 14 inches tall, this azalea carries variegated blooms that combine white and pink within the same flower, the quality that has long made it sought after by collectors. Being evergreen, it holds its foliage the year round; the leaves are glossy and oval, and they mass together into an unusually handsome canopy. It is offered as a tropical azalea for growing indoors. As with rhododendrons generally, an acidic, free-draining medium and steady moisture at the roots suit it best, since the fine root system resents drying out entirely.
Satsuki Azalea bonsai care
This is a living Satsuki Azalea (Rhododendron indicum). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Outdoor — needs a real winter dormancy and cannot live indoors year-round
- Light
- Full sun to bright dappled shade; protect from harsh afternoon sun, especially in summer and around bloom time
- Water
- Moist — never bone-dry, but never waterlogged. Hates both extremes. Use soft/rainwater; dislikes hard, alkaline tap water
- USDA zones
- 6–9 (most cultivars hardy to roughly 0°F / -18°C; some to -10°F)
- #1 cause of death
- Root rot from overwatering / poorly draining or non-acidic soil
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Satsuki Azalea bonsai care guide.
