How to water azalea

1. Watering method

1. Spray: Because azalea likes moisture, you can use spray when watering to create a humid environment for it while replenishing it with water. This is more conducive to its growth.

2. Flooding: Water from the edge of the flowerpot and wait until water flows out of the drainage hole at the bottom, which proves that it has been watered thoroughly.

3. Watering: If the flowerpot is relatively large and the indoor ventilation is not strong, the soil in the pot may be dry on the surface but still wet inside. At this time, just add water to the dry part to make it moist.

4. Sitting in water: If conditions permit, you can use the sitting in water method regularly to replenish water for it. Find a basin that is larger than the flower pot, pour clean water into it, and immerse 1/2 of the flower pot in the water for 2-3 minutes to allow the water to seep into the soil from the bottom holes.

2. Watering time

It is best to water in the morning and evening in spring and autumn, and in the early morning or one hour after sunset in the afternoon in summer. In winter, it is best to water between 10 am and 2 pm.

3. Water Quality

The water used to water azaleas should be clean and pure. Because it is sensitive to salt, if the salt content in the water is high, its growth will be inhibited and the root system will have problems, so use water with a lower salt content to water it. In addition, it likes slightly acidic water, so the pH value should be adjusted when watering to meet its needs.
