Pruning Azalea Bonsai to develop denser flower pads

Рет қаралды 9,160

How do you develop these compact Azalea bonsai pads? Azalea has a tendency to grow in a fairly open manner. So you need to prune to get the nice, tight dense pads. How do we do this?

Wow… what amazing Azalea nice work! I just got my first one from a nursery and did the initial hard pruning :(. I did get a bunch of cuttings planted from it though. Maybe one day mine will be half as good as this and I’ll be very satisfied

You are a great instructor! You explain very clearly without talking on and on about practically nothing like some AND you don't play annoying music!!!: Do you display your bonsai at any shows? Will you show us some of your best? Thank you : D

I am afraid I do add music to some videos if I amjust showing some stuff, sorry. I do every once in a while pop things in shows, but nothing planned at the moment!

I have what i call lawnsai azaleas. They are big and old i am thinking about trunk chopping one and possibly putting one in a pot. However i really like them.

Excellent!! My azaleas have trunks that are half a centimeter thick. By next season they should look like yours if I trim them, yes?...😅😂😂😂🤣Great video Jelle!!

You are doing the clipping in summer? Never mind, I just got to the part of the video when you mentioned the time of year. 😁

:) After flowering, as the tree decides, lets go and grow. Early to late spring. !

Hi jelle, I've just got myself a satsuki azalea for bonsai, i havent moved to do any work on it yet as its still flowering and ive heard not to re pot or cutting any pruning during flower season. What would be the best way to gain height and will it require some quite drastic cuts? I.e. cutting all branches off the main trunk( even if they are nicely thick) and encourage height.

@GrowingBonsai 29 күн бұрын

It is what is typically recommended. I am finding my way around satsuki too. The common understanding is allowing the leader to grow out first is the fastest way to reach height.
