What to do if the domestic azalea wilts

Changes in the growth environment of azalea

In fact, the wilt of azalea usually happens when you just buy it home. Because the azalea I just bought home has grown in a environment that has undergone tremendous changes.

Generally, azaleas sold in flower markets are grown in greenhouses where the humidity and other conditions are relatively high. However, flower lovers’ homes often cannot achieve such high humidity conditions, which can easily lead to dehydration of azaleas, which urgently need to be replenished with water.

So after buying the azalea home, the first thing you need to pay attention to is the humidity. In order to prevent the azalea from dying, you can water it at this time. The first is to water thoroughly, and the second is to spray water in large quantities. When spraying water, you should do it according to the wilting condition of the plant. Spray the plant after the water dries up and continue spraying. You need to spray water 3-4 times a day. Because rhododendron has a strong ability to absorb water, the effect is quite obvious.

Azalea direct sunlight

When growing azaleas, if they are exposed to strong direct sunlight for a long time, it may cause the plants to wilt. When growing rhododendrons, you must maintain appropriate lighting. However, in summer, because the light is relatively strong, it is best not to expose it to too much direct sunlight and to provide shade in time.

Rhododendron encounters pests and diseases

In the process of growing rhododendrons, the invasion of diseases and pests is also one of the main reasons for the wilting of plants. Generally, when pests and diseases occur, various problems will occur, including wilting. Therefore, when growing rhododendrons, you must do a good job of preventing diseases and pests.
