Satsuki Azalea & like hybrid ' Lavender Suprem' 1 Gallon Flowering Bonsai Tree

Description: Estimated Age: About 4 - 5 Years Height: About 8 - 9 Inches Trunk Size: About 1/4 - 1/2 Inch Lighting: Full Shade to Partial Shade Type: Evergreen Difficulty: Easy to Medium The Japanese Satsuki is easily one of the most popular of flowering bonsai choices: featuring an excellent low, twiggy habit with lovely funnel shaped unscented flowers in primarily white, pink, red and purple shades. The Satsuki is identified by two blossoms on the end of the branch shoots plus they also have slightly hairy leaves budding out freely from even fairly old bark wood. Most of them have compact branches and are slow growing. They usually have bright to medium green shiny oval shaped leaves with a soft pointed end. Even though they tolerate colder climates better, they are sensitive to high heat temperatures and require some shade to protect it from leaf burn and petal burn from the sun. Great to take care of indoors! 'Mrs J Ward' has large single layer petal blooms of a dark salmon pink to orangey-redish color with long stamens that match the petal color. They have an interesting semi-cascading medium growth to them naturally. It won't take too long to wait for its branches to develop into the bonsai style of your choice versus other slower growing varieties. They typically flower from early to mid spring. In general, they enjoy more acidic soil (such as Kanuma at around pH level 5.5 to 6) with good drainage to let its fine feeder roots breathe. Satsuki Azaleas don't enjoy being soaked all of the time. An infrequent deep soaking is more effective than superficial sprinkling everyday. Please water them thoroughly from top to bottom to fully saturate the soil to help keep the soil moist but not soggy. They don't enjoy dry soil nor lime. It becomes especially important in hard-water areas to water them with rainwater or filtered water only to avoid lime deposits building up in the soil. As needed, a fungicidal spray in the spring time as the buds show color will control “petal blight”, a fungal disease that appears as discolored dots on the petals and quickly discolors and collapses the blossoms. To avoid cutting off next year’s flower buds, do major pruning of Satsuki Azaleas soon after they bloom. Shortening or removal of long slender stems with no side shoots and cutting out dead wood may be done at any time. Depending on the individual tree, the Japanese Satsuki Azaleas may have either a single trunk or multi trunk look to them. It's a 1 gallon tree size.
