Care Information


	Pruning Tips: Azalea bonsai trees can be trained easily using the clip and grow method. Azaleas back bud after major cuts. We recommend waiting for woody growth prior cutting back to ensure bud growth. Due their brittle nature, care should be taken with azalea bonsai trees when applying wire. A good technique for training azalea is the use of guy wire along with the clip and grow technique.

	Fertilizing: We recommend fertilizing your bonsai tree every month with a bonsai fertilizer. Time release granules are the easiest to use and can be added every season. Reduce the amount of fertilizer during the winter. Take care to not over-fertilize as this can cause your leaves to burn or grow too leggy.

	Lighting: Azalea Bonsai trees thrive best with natural sunlight. We recommend filtered natural sunlight. If placed in full sun, take care to manage your watering to prevent your tree from drying out. Also, full sunlight can lead to some leaf burn.

	Temperature Requirements: Azaleas prefer warm temperate climates above 40 degrees fahrenheit. If exposed to colder weather, leaves may turn yellow and fall off. However, once the temperature becomes warmer, new sprouts will appear.

	Watering Requirements: Azalea bonsai trees require moderate watering. We recommend using a soft spray to soak the soil. Ensure that water penetrates not only the topsoil but also into the roots by checking that draining is occuring on the bottom of the pot. Keep the Azalea moist at all times.

	Repotting: Azalea bonsai trees can be repotted during spring and fall for highest success rates. Avoid winter repotting as colder temperatures will make it harder for roots to recover. During repotting, we recommend trimming off older roots to promote new growth. After repotting, place tree in a shaded area for 2-3 weeks prior to placing back in full or partial sun. Azaleas prefer more acidic soil. This will help to reduce leaf burn and maintain greener leaf color.

	Indoor / Outdoor: Azalea bonsai trees thrive best in outdoor conditions. However, they can be kept indoors if cared for properly. During the winter, trees can be overwintered to protect from freezing and leaf yellowing.

30 Day Plant Policy

30 Day Plant Replacement:
We understand that not everyone has a green thumb, so if your prized tree doesn't agree with you within 30 days, we'll send one replacement tree to you for free. We'll even cover the shipping cost for getting that new plant to you, which means all you need to do is give us a call. :)

Unlike most other websites that only offer a 3-day or 7-day policy, we're giving you a whole month to ease your mind that you've got a second chance to make the tree thrive. Look for the seal on the product page that indicates the product qualifies for our 30 day replacement policy.

How it Works:
When you receive your plant, care for it as you would based on the enclosed care instructions. If things aren't looking that great, give us a ring and we'll try to troubleshoot the issue. If after our recommendations, it still doesn't look like the plant will make it, we'll go ahead and send you a new tree. Our hope is that the experience you've gained from the first tree will ensure that the second tree will live on happily. Of course, we'll always provide help and support for that one too.

Exclusions: (Select Plants only - Look for the Seal)
Unfortunately :( , there are some exclusions on this policy. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to continue to offer beautiful trees to everyone. Our 30 day policy applies to SELECT plants only. For other products and accessories, please refer to our general return policy.

In order to maintain our low prices on certain products, we must exclude Unique Trees, lucky bamboo event favors, and bonsai event favors from the 30 Day replacement policy. Corporate gifts are also excluded due to the additional discounts given on those orders.

Refunds & Store Credit: (requires notification within 7 Days)
Our 30 Day policy applies to a replacement tree ONLY. If you would like a refund or store credit, we must be notified within 7 DAYS of receiving your product. If a replacement tree is unavailable, a similar plant of equal value will be otherwise substituted. If no suitable substitution is available, store credit will be issued in the amount of the purchase price.
