Rhododendron is also called Yinghong Azalea, Xing'an Azalea, and Infinite Flower. It blooms from June to September every year. The flowers are purple-red and very beautiful. It is a very easy plant to grow. It likes to grow in a semi-shaded, well-ventilated environment. You can usually grow Rhododendron to decorate the indoor environment. How to grow azalea1. Suitable environment Rhododendron prefers a warm environment and is not resistant to high or low temperatures. The temperature during the growth period should be controlled at 12-25℃. If the temperature is too high, the growth will be slow and it will be in a semi-dormant state. If the temperature is too low, it will suffer frost damage and needs to be cultivated indoors. 2. Soil requirements Rhododendron is suitable for planting in loose, breathable, humus-rich, well-drained acidic soil. If clay or alkaline soil is used, Rhododendron will grow poorly. You can use peat soil, Huangshan mud, coal slag and sawdust in a ratio of 4:3:2:1. 3. Lighting requirements Rhododendron cannot tolerate strong sunlight exposure, so do not place it in direct sunlight in summer. Pay attention to shading. Place it in scattered light in spring and autumn. Place it in the sun for full sun in winter, which can help the Rhododendron survive the winter. 4. Watering requirements Rhododendron is suitable for growing in a humid environment. The principle of watering is to water when the soil is dry. Each time you water, you should water it thoroughly. Don't just wet the surface of the soil. If you find the soil is dry, you should water it immediately. Generally, you need to water it every two or three days. 5. Fertilization requirements The flowering period of azalea is long, so sufficient fertilizer should be provided to support flowering. The principle of fertilization is to apply thin fertilizers frequently. In spring, phosphorus fertilizer can be applied every half a month to make the flowers more colorful. In autumn, phosphorus fertilizer needs to be applied every 10 days. Fertilization should be stopped in summer and winter. Precautions for the maintenance of Jindalai flowersDuring the high temperatures of summer, azaleas will enter a dormant state and need to be moved to a cool, well-ventilated place for maintenance. This can reduce the occurrence of diseases. If the air is dry, water needs to be sprayed all around to keep it moist. |
