Caring for your Japanese Azalea Bonsai Tree

Watering is crucial, as the soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Regular pruning after flowering will help maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Feed with a bonsai fertiliser weekly during the growing season to promote vibrant blooms and healthy foliage. With proper care, your Japanese Azalea Bonsai will flourish and bring beauty to your home for years to come.
