How to hydroponically cultivate dry branch azalea

For dry branch azalea, choose cold-resistant varieties from Northeast China, Inner Mongolia and other places. The main branches of the azalea should not be damaged when picking branches, and the small branches picked should have flower buds. If you don't want it to bloom, you can refrigerate it in a refrigerator or other place.

When you want it to bloom, take it out, add water and put it in a bottle, keeping the room temperature at 20°C. Then add nutrient solution, and it will bloom in about 10 days. The flower can only bloom once.

Variety selection

When choosing dry-branch azalea, it is best to choose cold-resistant varieties from Northeast China, Inner Mongolia and other places. Only in this way can we ensure that it can withstand freezing and survive, so as to facilitate subsequent cultivation.

Picking branches

If you pick branches yourself, do not damage the main branches of the azalea. Pick small branches that will not affect the continued growth of the azalea. The small branches should have unopened flower buds. If you want to save trouble, just buy a bunch.

Frozen

The picked twigs are frozen at low temperature to temporarily stop their growth.

Vase hydroponics

When you want the dried azalea to bloom, take out the frozen branches and put them in a transparent vase with water. The water level does not need to be too high, just 1/2 of the vase.

After that, keep the room temperature at around 20°C and change the water every three days or so. If nutrients are insufficient, a small amount of nutrient solution can be dripped into the water to promote flowering of branches.

Maintenance requirements: The room temperature should be kept at about 20℃ during cultivation, and the water should be changed every three days. A small amount of nutrient solution can be added to the water to increase the nutrients needed for the flower branches to bloom, making them more colorful and beautiful when they bloom.

After adding the nutrient solution, the flower buds on the stem will bloom into beautiful flowers in about ten days, but the flowers will only bloom once . Because the stem cannot take root, you can only simply enjoy it once.

Precautions for the maintenance of dry branch azalea

Before inserting into the vase, the roots should be cut at a 45-degree angle, and the water level should be no less than 20 cm. Change the water every 3 days before flowering, and every 7 days after flowering . Dry-branch azalea likes shade, so just give it appropriate sunlight and avoid excessive exposure.

Avoid using air conditioners or heaters to prevent the flower buds from dehydrating. If you keep it in a high temperature environment, spray some water on the branches. Usually, the dry-branch azalea needs to survive in a cool environment, and only a little scattered light is needed to ensure the survival of the plant .
