Azalea cultivation techniques and tips

1. Breeding techniques

You can use self-watering flowerpots to grow rhododendrons. Put the original soil into the pot and there will be gaps around the edge, so there is no need to add more soil. This way the pot can be breathable and water-permeable. If you grow it in an environment with heating on in winter and the house is dry, water it thoroughly every three or four days. The excess water will seep to the bottom of the pot and the inside will automatically absorb water through the cotton rope. After the roots are full of water after an hour, remember to pour out the excess water. If you don't pour it out, the roots will continue to absorb water and will rot and die.

2. Experience

1. Avoid watering every day: Usually, breathable leaf mold is used to grow azaleas, and it needs appropriate watering after planting. However, you cannot water the plants every day regardless of whether the soil is wet or dry, and large pots are not easy to dry out, which is very detrimental to the growth of the plants.

2. Do not water too much: When growing, you can use a small porcelain pot with an integrated pot and tray, but this type of pot has poor air permeability, so you must not water too much. If there is too much water and it is hot and stuffy, the azalea will easily die.
