How to water azalea in winter? If you water too much, will the leaves fall off and it can still survive?

1. Winter watering method

The temperature in winter will be very low, so the azalea will enter a semi-dormant or dormant state and require less water, so pay attention to water control. When watering, use water temperature close to room temperature. Otherwise, if the water temperature is too low, it will easily stimulate the plant roots and may cause them to freeze. After the soil becomes dry, you can slowly pour water into the soil. Generally, watering once a week is enough. You can also spray some water on its branches and leaves. First, it can clean the leaves, and second, it can increase the humidity of the breeding environment.

2. Precautions

When watering, you should pay attention to the quality of the water. It is better to use collected rainwater, or collect snow water in winter, which is beneficial to its growth. However, most households use tap water more often, so it is best to leave the tap water for a day or two before using it. In addition, attention should also be paid to the time of watering. Noon is the most suitable time because the temperature is highest at this time and it is not easy to frostbite the plants when watering.

3. Can the plant survive if the leaves fall off due to excessive watering?

Usually, if you water azalea too much, many adverse symptoms will appear. If you find that the plant has dropped leaves, you can make a cut on the branch. If there is green inside, it can be saved. You can drain the stagnant water, trim off the roots that have been soaked and rotted, and then disinfect them before putting them in the pot.
