Watering azaleas should be based on the dryness and moisture of the soil in the pot. If the pot soil is too dry, water it thoroughly all at once; if it is wet, do not water it. The water quality needs to be slightly acidic and not too cold. Tap water should be allowed to stand for a few days before use. Water once every two days in spring and autumn, once a day in summer, and once a week in winter. In addition, water thoroughly after transplanting or soil replacement, which can improve the survival rate.

1. Watering time

The watering time is not fixed, and you need to observe the condition of the pot soil. Knock the flowerpot and listen for the sound. If the sound is crisp, it means the soil is dry and you need to water it at this time. Otherwise, don't water it. Watering must be sufficient every time to ensure that there is moisture on the top and bottom of the pot soil, but no water can accumulate. Keeping the pot soil slightly moist is more beneficial to its growth.

2. Water quality requirements

Cuckoo Flowers have three requirements for water quality. First, the water quality is slightly acidic and can be tempered by adding ferrous sulfate. Second, avoid cold water. The water must be close to the ambient temperature to avoid frostbite on the roots. The third is to remove chlorine. This is mainly for tap water, which needs to be left for a few days before use.

Three, watering in four seasons

Depending on the season and temperature, the time between waterings will also change. In spring and autumn, the climate is pleasant and azaleas will not grow too fast. Generally, watering is enough every two to three days. But in summer, when the temperature is higher, watering should be more frequent, at least once a day. When the temperature is low in winter, watering should also be reduced. Once a week is enough.

4. Transplanting and watering

Azaleas should be watered thoroughly after transplanting or soil replacement. This allows its root system to have fuller contact with the soil, allowing it to go through the seedling slowing period more smoothly.
