I have a 30 year old azalea that's only about 14 inches tall. Been neglected over the years and even near death a couple of times, but it always comes back. This year I re-potted it and gave it a good feed and a better spot in the garden and it's gorgeous. It would make a wonderful bonsai.
Just a reminder the apex of a satsuki is the weakest part of the tree therfore prune more around the bottom say then the top to balance the vigor in the tree. Also always use kanuma and sphagnum moss in the soil compostion. The good sphagnum from new zealand. These trees are great but do take some research to get going.
U have the best collection i have ever seen! I love my satsuki. Cant wait for urs to flower. What i love also is when wiring them u can preform where each and every flower will be placed when they flower out and when it all looks soo neat it looks amazing
Mr. Chan I've smoked plenty of flowers that had never been kissed by the amazing all powerful sun...🤔 if he had a decent grow room constantly 72°f I bet his azalea is still living. Fortunately I'm on the east coast north Carolina where azaleas thrive in mild winters. Tho not the same breed I'm sure they share similar growing characteristics and conditions. Thank you for all your knowledge and letting us walk through your garden with u on a personal tour.
What is particularly striking with Satsuki Azalea is how they have mixed coloured flowers on the same plant. Beautiful. What a shame their bloom is so short lived, like cherry blossom.
I don't have one of those but, they are truly beautiful. For Mothers Day I did receive a Fukin Tea Bonsi. I have fallen in love with my Lucy (that's her name). I am now a Bonsai crazy woman!!
Peter I am so thankful you introduced me to the beauty of Satsuki’s. I made a grave mistake by accidentally buying some in haste and not adequately furnishing enough attention upon them, and alas it appears I may have to start from square one. Nevertheless I am inspired to go on and hopefully I will have some better luck next time.
i bought my azalea in april, this variant is supposed to bloom in early summer, but it didn't. Anyone got any ideas why? also everyday some leaves turn yellow and some even (partly) black. Anyone got any tips?
Hi. Can I take maple and azeleas to Ibiza. On the winter is around 9-16 degree on day but in the night goes near 0 degrees . I will love to hear your thoughts about it
How much space you have and how many bonsai you maintaining? How many pots and how many varieties of bonsai u have? How you find the money to maintain these?

My son got me a Satsuki Azaleas for this Mother's Day. It says it's a outdoor one... I live in Zone 5 a, but I still have it in the house, because I don't know if I should plant it in the ground or place it outside in the pot it came with, also do I leave it outside during the winter months, if so how do I care for it, it gets pretty cold in the winter. It's doing well in the house. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Could you do a video on how to transplant and prune a Satsuki Azaleas, I've never had this plant before and I don't know how to properly care for one. Thank You!
Ill try my best to ans this. Is it a bonsai version? If so kanuma soil is prob the best soil for these trees.i mix kanuma soil with sphagnum moss in my soil. When repoting try not to disturb the roots much and leave at least half the original soil on the tree it came with. It has a very delicate root system. They typically like morning sun afternoon shade but they can handle a good amount of sun. As for the cold they typically dont like below 40 or 50 degrees i would think some may like it some may not. I dont think they would do well if it gets very cold. They do go dormant and need less water in the winter. I live in ny and keep mine protected and in a shed and water very lightly. In the winter u can put it in the house.ive been using osmocote fertilizer the pink bottle. Theres alot of other info on these trees i bought a book on them called floral treasures of japan. Get it. Im sure there other books also . As far as pests always check for aphids. The do pop up sometimes. As far as pruning u can cut them in spring only other time i would is after they flower. U shouldnt leave the flowers on too long either they say it draws energy from the tree. Dont let the flowers seed. Pull the flower out by the bottoms of them removing the whole flower. They put out new buds in the fall for next years blooms. There are a few good videos on youtube about satsukis ud have to look. They do require alot of techniques to this species. Hope this somewhat helps.
@@DebR57 u can also repot after flowering or in the spring. There is soo much info on these tree it can get confusing. But the way i do things all my trees go outside no matter what. They are trees. They can do good inside but outside is where they want to be. Only thing i have inside is my orchids . Its weird cause satsukis like the cold so they go dormant but after that say 50 degrees time to go hide it away. Some even drop the leafs in fall. Also with picking the flowers mine was imported from japan and they bare root the tree so for the first 2 years i had to pick them off to promote good root health instead of wasting the trees energy on flowers. I picked the buds before they opened. This year i will let it all bloom. Hope this helps but that book i mentioned is one i have and its very detailed. Prob 20$ online. If u really want to get into them i would get it.
@@Chris-oq6kn So what about winter in Illinois, it can get below 0°, should I put it in the garage (the garage will be cold too, if I do should I cover it up for the winter? Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it. I'll check out your book!
It's a bit silly, I know, but because of allergies, I prefer flowering bonsai. They are supposed to be better for this, because they rely on insects to spread their pollen instead of the wind.

Peter, you going around and talking about your bonsais is very inspiring. Thank you for all your hard work, dedication and just being you!
Love the azelea, 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 thanks Peter
I really do love trees.
Very beautiful plants my friend! Your wife was a very wise woman. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Beautiful ❤️.... Thx for sharing Peter 👍
You have a stunning abundance of beautiful azaleas. Please keep updating videos of them.
They always bring a smile on my face.

did you plant it in the ground or is still in a pot/container?
@@DebR57 It's in a glazed pot, though not a bonsai pot. Even branches that looked dead for a few years popped to life. They're really hardy.

@@Chris-oq6kn very informative info
Looking forward to my new Satsuki I got of you flowering next year, i will be done in 4 weeks for a short visit .
I think I love the Azaleas that haven't bloomed yet just as much for their structure and pads.
beautiful bonsai, very inspiring 👍👍👍
Pretty!
So pretty
Thank you for answering my questions about maples and satsukys in the tropics.

Here in Auckland/ New Zealand we never have frost, still both maples and azalea do really well.
Your summers are similar to ours. But your winters are warmer.
Those are fantastic!

A bit of a metaphor for life if you want

Interestingto see blooming Satsuki in England. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Satsuki. I like salmon and white one at the top .

Are they flowering now or is this an old recording? Here in Sweden we are more than a month after flowering period.

I don't get Azaleas as Bonsai, but it takes all sorts and like your wife rightly said, you have to cater for all of them or miss out on the custom.
Love these. But it gets far too cold here for them.
How do you get it too flower
🔥💕😍👍
Beautiful, but so are maples🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for sharing.💜

How do I know if an azalea is Satsuki?
Couldn't you put them in a refrigerator for fall and winter?
Too cold
