Based in Olive Branch, Mississippi, Brussel's Bonsai has cultivated live bonsai trees for over 50 years. Working with the top bonsai growers across the globe, our experts have meticulously curated an extensive selection of indoor and outdoor live bonsai trees to suit both novice enthusiasts and experienced bonsai owners. The Satsuki Azalea is a popular choice among bonsai, and is grown in the USA. This particular plant is very hardy & produces magnificent flowers. Of all shrubs with flowers, The Azalea is by far the most dramatic with brilliant blooms of radiant color blooming in late spring. While there are many species of Azalea, the Satsuki, or Rhododendron indicum is easily one of the most popular, featuring an excellent low, twiggy habit with lovely funnel shaped unscented pink flowers. The Satsuki is Identified by two blossoms on the end of the terminal; they also have slightly hairy leaves budding out freely from even fairly old wood. Each live plant is shipped with the phytosanitary certificate as required by the USDA.

This plant started dying the first week it arrived. It did not matter how much I watered it it was not going to come alive. I decided to look at the roots to see if that was the problem. I couldn't even pull the plant out (notice the picture above). Since when do they ever wire a tree to its pot? They might secure it in there temporarily, but never with hard wire. Notice the other picture, the wires go through the root system. They must have hurt the roots while securing it in this pot. That's why ...they killed it before it even got to me! After finally untwisting the wires, I pulled the dead tree out and you could tell by the root system that they killed it! I tried writing them a letter but never heard back from them.Also, the picture shows a turquoise pot. The pot is green.Extremely disappointed!

Nice tree, beautiful pot. Worth every penny but the challenge will be to keep it alive.Shipping was fast and people were very helpful.

Update: replacement came, everything great. Easy to get my problem fixed. >>My bonsai arrived a day early. I was watching closely, since it's January and I'm in Colorado. The tree looked great when it arrived, well watered and healthy-looking. The pot. however, was split in transit. As soon as I got shipping info to their customer service, I was told a replacement would be sent that. day (yesterday). I had told them I was okay with just replacing the pot, since I've been raising Bonsai for many years. It sounded like I may get a new tree, which would be ideal, as trees, even little ones, are slow to show damage and the tree would normally not be due for repotting for several years. I. noted that several reviews are pretty negative, but growing bonsai is more difficult than just indoor gardening; especially sensitive to too much or too little water. If this is a first bonsai, books and/or You-tubes are essential for success. Brussels is a great source for one.

I would go to my local nursery instead of buying here. This tree came sick, the leaves turning brown within a week. It was all dead within a month. Not buying again.

My plant arrived safely. The plant was wrapped nicely so that dirt did not fly everywhere in the box. I've had the plant for a week now and it looks to be growing. A few leaves have already dropped but I think the plant is trying to adjust to it's new surroundings.I have the plant indoors next to my south-facing window. It gets a little bit of light in the morning and then gets the sunshine from the afternoon sun. It is next to my router so hopefully it won't dry out from the air emitting from the router's vent. I placed a plate with rocks and water underneath it to keep the area humid. I've been watering it every day since it is summer and letting the water run out the holes in the bottom.Since it sits on my work desk, I can investigate it each day to make sure it's not dying or drying out. I see it has 2 buds that have not opened. I'll update again in a month to see if the buds actually flower.Update a month or so later:I updated another picture of the bonsai, a side by side view of when I first got it to now. I have to preface that I am watering the plant almost every day or every other day if I see the humidity plate is low on water. It is summer so the house does get warm and my plant is next to the router on my work desk.Also, I have been collecting the fallen leaves to show the amount of leaves I'm losing. Despite the amount of leaves im losing, I do see that the leaves are growing bigger on my plant. So I think the fallen leaves are just from my plant adjusting to the environment. This is a tree and trees do drop leaves occasionally.My tree does look sparser than the original so I'm not sure if I'm trending in the right direction. But still it does not look bad. Ill leave my rating at 5 stars for now. My plant still looks healthy.Also the buds I had originally have not bloomed. Hoping it's just going through a blooming cycle and won't just die off.

The only reason I am writing a review is to counter the 1 - 3 star reviews I've read about. I am a beginner bonsai growing person. I purchased some bonsai's from various stores; never online. I wanted an azalea bonsai and thus checked on amazon. Before purchasing, I (of course) read reviews. I was a little anxious about taking a chance because some of the reviews noted the bonsai arriving in terrible condition (mess in the box type of write up). Imagine my excitement when my new bonsai arrived in great condition (as one would expect). Maybe the person who wrapped mine took extra care, maybe some reviews were the exception not the norm. Whatever the reason, thank you Brussel's. I love the bonsai and hope it grows into a beautiful flower sprouting addition.
