Hello friends,
Today (May 20) I purchased a Sakuragata Satsuki azalea from Schley’s Bonsai nursery and I need help transforming it into something beautiful. I’m new to azalea bonsai.
To begin, when is the best time to drastic prune this piece? Can I begin now (May)? Will duct seal work as a good cut paste?
Also, should I drastic prune first or should I transplant the tree into a bonsai pot first? If I should put it into a bonsai pot first, what time of year is best for this?
What is the best azalea bonsai soil and fertilizer?
Being that I live in Florida, the sun and heat are pretty intense. Will this particular type of azalea thrive indoors by a window?
Most importantly, I am struggling to find a good tree within the many branches. Can you guys help me figure out a good shape? Thanks in advance.
