My azalea bonsai tree is dying was created by katalina93

Good morning,

I got an azalea bonsai tree as a christmas gift but it's been giving me problems since I first got it.

I live in the Florida Keys, bonsai is located in an outside living room where it receives the morning sun and afternoon shade.

I put water twice a week, about six ounces every time.

I trimmed it a month ago and put some fertilizer but I have seen any changes.

Attached some pictures, please let me know if you think it is completely dead of if it has some hope. :(

Thanks,

Not enough water and not enough light. Twice a week and so little has almost certainly killed it. Keeping it inside has not helped either.

If you want to learn about bonsai, your first mistake would be to buy the same one... that's a young azalea in a bonsai pot, not a bonsai.

Your second mistake would be buying something without knowing what bonsai is, what species to choose, and how to take care for it.
