It is said that cuckoos are difficult to care for. Today, Huahua invited a great god, "Feixue", to tell you how to raise azaleas so that they can have abundant leaves and blooms!


Your rhododendrons die in every pot you buy, but other people's rhododendrons bloom vigorously. How do you raise them?Flower pot selection

Selection of flower pots

For pots, it is more suitable to use tile pots, which have better ventilation effects. Since azaleas have shallow roots and slow growth, you can choose smaller pots so that watering is not wasted and is more conducive to growth. The potting soil should be acidic soil with loose texture and good drainage.

Azalea

Watering

Azalea The roots are very thin and have poor absorption capacity. Water must be absorbed by the roots to reach the flower body, so watering azaleas is a technical job. If you water them too much, they will easily get root rot. If you water them too little, they will suffer root rot. Dried leaves.

Generally speaking, we only need to keep the pot soil moist in early spring. In late spring and early summer, when it is ready to bloom, its water demand will increase greatly, so watering should be slightly more.

In summer, when the temperature is too high, in addition to watering, you also need to spray some water on the plants. In autumn, when the weather turns cooler, you need to control the water appropriately and let the pot soil dry slightly. After it goes dormant in winter, watering will be reduced.

Azalea

Light

Azalea cultivation process It is necessary to ensure that it has sufficient light at all times, because only with sufficient light can the flowers bloom well. It cannot be exposed to the sun in hot summer, and the shielding work should be strengthened to prevent it from being sunburned. In addition, it should also be properly protected during the flower blooming season. When working, you can use light-blocking nets for protection, and they cannot be exposed to the sun during the flowering period.

Azalea

Fertilization

Proper fertilization can Make azaleas grow stronger and faster. Like most indoor flower cultivations, the principle of fertilizing azaleas is to apply fertilizer thinly and frequently, that is, put a little less at a time and apply more often.

Apply fertilizer two to three times when the old leaves turn green, during flowering, and after flowering. Do not fertilize during hot weather. For azalea breeding and fertilization, you can use fishy water, rapeseed cake and other materials, which must be decomposed before use. If diseased and weak branches are found, they should be cut off in time to prevent them from affecting the healthy growth of other branches.

Cuckoo

Suitable temperature

Most suitable for Rhododendron The temperature at which flowers grow is 15-25°C. Try to let them grow within this temperature range in spring or autumn. In summer, when the temperature is relatively high, attention should be paid to temperature control, and the maximum temperature should not exceed 32°C. In winter, when the temperature is relatively low, it should be moved indoors in time and the temperature should be kept above 5°C.

Azalea

Pruning

Pruning. Rhododendrons grow relatively quickly and can easily grow very densely, which will result in many internal branches and leaves not being able to see the light and preventing them from growing healthily. Therefore, you should trim it in time, which will not only make it look better, but also make it healthier.

Cuckoo

Change the pot

Change the pot. Rhododendrons need to consume nutrients in the soil to grow. After one or two years of cultivation, the nutrients in the soil will be absorbed by them. At this time, it needs to be replaced with new nutrient-rich soil so that it can continue to grow healthily.

Azalea

Master summary

Many flowers A friend said that azaleas are very difficult to grow. If you keep them in one pot, they will die. Especially in summer, they are more likely to die. Then you will never dare to touch azaleas again. I have raised azaleas to death before and I couldn’t figure it out. Now I finally understand. In fact, you only need to remember three points to keep it well: avoid the midday sun, find ways to moisturize it, and water it in time.
