How to plant azalea seedlings to achieve a high survival rate, and what is the appropriate spacing between seedlings?

1. How to plant

1. Time: If you want the azalea seedlings you want to plant to survive, you need to choose the right time, which can usually be done between the autumnal equinox and before Qingming Festival. This time is its dormant period, and it will grow well in the spring of the following year.

2. Soil: The soil you choose must also be suitable. It should be clean, breathable and nutritious. The flower pot must also be breathable, otherwise the seedlings will easily be suffocated. The soil can be a mixture of sandy loam, humus and granular soil, and the flower pots can be clay pots or purple clay pots.

3. Protect the root system: Do not harm the root system when planting, and try to protect the roots from damage as much as possible. If the roots are rotten, you need to prune them first and then sterilize them. When planting, do not press the soil too hard, just press it lightly.

4. Watering: After planting, you need to water it to help it take root. Do not allow water to accumulate in the soil. After that, water it once every 1-2 days.

2. Spacing

When planting seedlings, there is no fixed spacing. Generally, the reserved space is sufficient for the growth of the seedlings. Planting should not be too close together, usually just planting them not right next to each other is fine. If you are going to transplant them later, you don't need to worry too much about the spacing between the seedlings. If you are growing it in potted plants, just plant one tree in each pot. If you plant too many trees, not only will the nutrients be insufficient, but the growth space will also be too small.
