How to breed azalea

1. Cutting propagation

Cuttings are the simplest and most successful method of propagation. When taking cuttings, it is best to choose a new pot with a diameter of about 20 cm. A clay pot is best because it has better air permeability and is easier to grow roots. The best season is spring and autumn, when the temperature is just right and conducive to survival. Before taking cuttings, moisten the soil in the pot in advance, but not too wet, moist is best. Insert the cuttings into the soil at a depth of about 3-4 cm. After completion, cover the flowerpot with a plastic bag, open it when watering, and tie it up again after watering.

2. Seed propagation

Most species can be propagated by sowing, and rhododendron is no exception. Its seeds mature from October to January of the following year. When the color of the peel turns brown, the upper part of the fruit will crack and the seeds will fall out, then they can be collected. Sowing is generally carried out in March and April. Wash the pot with water, then dry it. The soil must also be disinfected and then the seeds can be planted.
