Newly purchased azaleas are usually potted plants in the flowering stage. Do not repot them after you buy them home. Place them in a well-lit and ventilated place to adapt to the new environment. After a week, gradually increase the light to full sunlight. Usually weigh the pot soil until it becomes light and water it thoroughly. You can pad the flower pot and add water to the tray to moisten it. Do not fertilize during the flowering period. Cut off the remaining flowers after the rhododendrons have faded. Provide plenty of ventilation. Replace the potting soil when the weather warms up. Cultivate outdoors to prevent leaf loss.

1. How to slow down the seedlings of newly purchased azaleas

1. Avoid repotting: Newly purchased azaleas are usually potted plants with buds or blooming. Never change the pot, otherwise the buds will dry up and the flowers will fall.

2. Avoid exposure to the sun: Do not expose newly purchased azaleas to the sun after you buy them home. Place them in a well-ventilated place with astigmatism to adapt to the sun for a week, and then gradually increase the light to full sunlight after a week.

2. How to maintain the flowering period after slowing down the seedlings

1. Water carefully: Watering rhododendrons too frequently during the flowering period can easily lead to root rot and leaf drop; watering too little can easily cause buds to dry out and flowers to drop. You can usually weigh the weight of the pot soil and it will feel significantly lighter. Water it thoroughly.

2. Increase humidity: If the air humidity for maintenance is not enough, rhododendrons can easily dry leaves and drop buds. We can pad the flower pots to empty the water holes and add water to the trays to increase humidity.

3. Avoid fertilizing: Newly purchased azaleas have been fertilized by the florist before they bloom. We do not fertilize them after we buy them home, but wait until the flowers of the plants fail before fertilizing.

3. How to care for azalea after flower failure

1. Light pruning: After all the flowers of the rhododendron have bloomed, remove the remaining flowers in time, prune lightly or not at all to reduce the nutrient consumption of the rhododendron and wait for it to bloom again.

2. Lower the room temperature: Enjoy azaleas in winter and spring. After the azaleas fade and the weather becomes warmer, you can open more windows for ventilation at noon and wait until the temperature stabilizes above 10℃ before leaving the room.

3. Repot late: Repot can be repotted after the flowers have faded. However, to be on the safe side, it is best to wait until the temperature is stable above 15°C. When repotting, cake fertilizer and bone meal can be buried in the bottom of the pelvis. Use as base fertilizer.
