How to make azalea bloom all year round

1. Variety

It is indeed difficult to make all rhododendrons bloom throughout the year, but it is possible for special varieties because they can bloom for a very long time. However, this effect cannot be achieved due to nutritional and other issues. In fact, this kind of flower is called Four-season Azalea. The flowers are very beautiful, with many colors and shapes.

2. Nutrition

If you want it to bloom throughout the four seasons, you still have to consider nutrition first, because if it only blooms once, it will need a lot of nutrition, not to mention four seasons. So it needs to save nutrients, so we need to prune it because this is the best way to save nutrients.

After the flowers fade, we must quickly trim off the remaining flowers, otherwise they will continue to consume nutrients. In addition, when new branches sprout, we need to remove some of them according to their growth. Those that grow side by side, grow too long, or have insects need to be cut off. Because there is no point in keeping them, and they may consume their nutrients. In addition, they will also affect ventilation.

3. Maintenance methods

Many people who grow this plant find it difficult to keep it alive, let alone bloom for four seasons. This is because the roots of this plant are not thick, so it is afraid of both dryness and waterlogging. If there is too much water, its roots will be soaked in water and then rot. If there is too little water, its branches will wither and the flowers will fall off, making it difficult for the plant to continue growing. Moreover, it prefers acidic soil and cannot withstand strong sunlight.

Therefore, when we raise it, we need to use the correct method to replenish it with water, provide it with shade in the summer, and keep it warm in the winter. During the growing period, we need to apply dilute fertilizer and water to it once every half a month, and we also need to spray insects on it. Only when these points are reached can it bloom in the best condition.
