Hi and thanks for watching! Do you have any special care tips for azaleas that I should have mentioned? 🤷‍♂️

[BonsaiJCan]

The large azalea you just got is really nice! 😀👌 I also like your smaller azaleas and the one in the blue pot has beautiful fall colors!

Lots of good info on Satsuki Azalea. You mention repot in May after flowering over. Your climate zone/area may have that situation. Where I am at, in US/Pacific NW, and like climate zones, I see that doing the repot in early-early spring works well. I note that in Japan, and like climatic zones, they do repot after flowering, and as their climate affords their rainy season. I’ve repotted them in early spring (e.g. late February to early March) with no big problems. I use Kanuma (2/3) and Sphagnum Moss (1/3) as a soil mixture with excellent results. Love the tree you procured. 😊 Thank you for your videos.

I've lost an azalea before, it wasn't watered properly by my partner while I was gone for a week, but it was also my fault for forgetting to put it back into shade...
Still, it took me a while to get another one and I'm very nervous about losing it.

That's a very beautiful tree you got there, I hope it will live a long life :)

Your voice is very soothing, your accent is pleasing and the video is very informative, I see you're putting a lot of effort into it. Earned a sub :)

What an exciting tree and great editing

[gurinderpalsingh]

love all ur videos sir, thanks for sharing your wisdom

[PumpkinBecki]

I lost my lovely azalea this year, I think I must have been too tough on it when I pruned 😔 Do you know if your new one is all one colour or is that going to be a surprise next spring?

[satsukiazalealovers]

Very nice video, thanks for shared :-)
I love azaleas satsukis, and will be good to get your tips. Thanks 😊

Hi Dave, how come you don't plant the azaleas in the ground so they can grow faster (you have such a nice and big looking yard!). Or grow most your bonsai in the ground to speed up growth?

[potplantokajbonsajo]

Congratulations to your new Bonsai. Looks spectacular 👌
By the way: wich editing software do you use? Very professional look 🤩

[smilingsaiyan]

Thanks so much for the informative video I purchased my first Bonsai today:)
And I found this very helpful :)

[BackGardenBonsai]

I love the new tree. Do you know what colour the flowers will be? I hope the other one pulls through. It’s looks like it has a good structure.

[mattdemoraes]

You drove from England to Madrid to pick that up? That's an epic level of commitment.

Fantastic video, need to get my hands on this soil. Been adding coffee grounds to make my solid acidic ✌️🍂

Hello there! Fan here always watching your content! Today, after a good while searching for a good azalea with potential, I found the one! Can't wait to work on the tree probably next month!

[africanpirate]

Thanks - interesting thing about the leaves changing color to black / brown, one of mine did exactly that and Ive been in a panic thinking it was dying and didnt know what to do. Im glad to hear it could still be good.

Hello Blue Sky Bonsai ! I'm from Vietnam !

[whatawonderfuldigitalworld]

Laos Garden, they rulez. Good people may I say. Grats, you got a beautiful specimen to follow its evolution. The azaleas in my garden always bloom twice here in Madrid. People suggest taking that out to save energy for the winter and for spring flowering. I never do that, and I always get a lovely amount of autumn flowers so as far as I can tell, it is not a problem in Madrid. But mine are not bonsai.

Gracias por el video muy bien explicado
