Cultivation methods and precautions of Gaoyue Rhododendron

1. Breeding methods

1. Growth habits

Since this flower grows in abundance at relatively high altitudes, it prefers a more humid environment. Dry and hot weather is not conducive to its growth. The soil for growing this kind of flower should be loose, slightly acidic, and rich in various fertilizers it needs. It is best to let it see a certain amount of mild sunlight every day and sprinkle more water on the ground to keep it hydrated.

2. Control of water and fertilizer

Rhododendron azalea needs acidic soil to grow better, but most of the soil in the north is alkaline. Flower lovers in the north can mix it with rotten pine needles, and use spray equipment more often to ensure that the Rhododendron azalea has sufficient water.

Its roots are very fine fibrous roots, so we should pay more attention when applying fertilizer and apply it in small amounts frequently. Winter and summer are the seasons when Gaoyue Rhododendron grows slowly. At this time, we must control the amount of application to prevent its root rot.

2. Precautions

1. Repair of the shape

There is a little trick that can be used to speed up the blooming of Gaoyue Rhododendron: use the method of pinching to encourage it to grow new branches and leaves. When its flowers are too concentrated in one place, in order to ensure the beauty of the Gaoyue Rhododendron, we should evacuate the flower buds in advance, which will not only make the flowers bright, but also help its growth in the second year.

After the flowers of the Gaoyue Rhododendron wither, you can use tools to carefully remove its unsightly branches and leaves. You should also take the opportunity to trim off the old branches, otherwise the nutrients will be wasted.

2. Disease prevention and control

Gaoyue azalea is more susceptible to diseases and pests. We should observe the condition of its branches, leaves and flowers more often in normal times to give early warnings. If it is really infected with bacteria, it only needs to be sprayed with the corresponding pesticide a few times to cure it.
