How to raise azalea

1. Selection of potting soil

It is recommended that you use plastic pots, ceramic pots, porcelain pots or clay pots to grow rhododendrons, and the size should not be too large or too small. The soil must be loose and breathable enough. Avoid using alkaline soil with high viscosity. It is better to use slightly acidic soil.

2. Breeding temperature

When caring for it, most people do not pay attention to the temperature method. The temperature of the breeding environment should be between 15-28℃, so that it will grow faster. The temperature for winter should be around 10℃, try not to be too low. In addition, when the temperature is relatively high, it also needs to be cooled appropriately and can be placed in a ventilated and cool place for maintenance.

3. Watering Methods

The plant requires a lot of water during the growth and flowering period, so it is necessary to replenish water in time to ensure the moisture of the soil. In addition, the water requirement in each season is also different. In the hot summer, watering is needed every day, in spring and autumn, watering is done every 3-4 days, and in winter, even less water is needed as long as it is not too dry.

4. Proper pruning

Because its growth ability is very strong, proper pruning is necessary, which means cutting off some withered, overgrown, weak, and crossed branches. This can not only reduce the loss of nutrients, but also promote the sprouting of new branches, making the plant more ornamental.
