How long does it take for azalea to adapt to the pot?

Rhododendron acclimatization time

After repotting, azalea needs about twenty days of careful care before it can adapt successfully to the pot. In spring, it will adapt faster.

After repotting the azalea for one month, you will see the plant grow new leaves and branches, but if the maintenance environment is not appropriate, it will take longer.

It takes about a month for azalea to take root after repotting. The rooting time mainly depends on the variety. Some azaleas need about two months to take root. If you want it to take root quickly, it is best to repot it around June each year, when it is in its peak growth period.

Azalea has the performance of adapting to the pot

The leaves of azalea will become soft when they are newly repotted or planted. If you find that the plant is very strong after a few days, and the branches and leaves become shiny and green, it means that the plant has begun to grow normally.

How to make azalea adapt to the pot quickly

When repotting azalea, try to choose a ceramic pot with good air permeability. The soil should be mainly loose, breathable, slightly acidic pine needle soil. After planting, water it thoroughly. You can put some carbendazim in the water to prevent the growth of bacteria in the soil. Then put it in a cool place for two days, and then you can expose it to the sun normally.

How to care for azalea during its acclimatization period

The watering of azalea during the acclimatization period depends on the temperature. When the temperature is low, less water should be given, and when the temperature is high, more water should be given. It should also be fertilized with a low concentration to help it acclimate as soon as possible.

1. Watering: Azalea needs to be watered during the acclimatization period, and it needs to be watered thoroughly once. In its subsequent maintenance, it only needs to be watered once every 2-3 days.

2. Fertilization: Do not fertilize the azalea in the first month after it is potted. If there are still unopened buds after one month, you can fertilize it with some potassium dihydrogen phosphate or Huaduoduo No. 2, which can make the azalea leaves green, the roots strong, and the flowers bright red.

3. Sun exposure: Azalea should not be exposed to sunlight after it is just transplanted into the pot. It can be exposed to a little sunlight after a week, but it should not be exposed to too much sunlight, especially in the summer when the temperature is high and the sun is strong.
