Temperature: A warm environment between 15-20℃ should be provided to Satsuki Rhododendron during maintenance. Light: When it is in the growing season and flowering stage, it should be given more light. In summer when the sun is very strong, be sure to shade it to prevent it from getting sunburned. Watering: It likes moisture, but cannot grow in soil with stagnant water. So just water it appropriately and keep its flower soil slightly moist. Fertilizer: Topdressing can be done 1-2 times a month during the growing season, and phosphate fertilizer needs to be applied before and after the flowering period.

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Rhododendron likes to be cool, specifically between fifteen and twenty degrees. It is a variety that is not very heat-resistant, so when the temperature is higher than 30 degrees, it is best to adjust it, otherwise its leaves will be burned and its flowering will be affected. In addition, the temperature in winter should be above ten degrees as much as possible.

2. Light: Satsuki cuckoo loves light, but it is extremely afraid of strong light. Therefore, in summer and autumn, if you encounter too strong light, you should try to block it, or it can be blocked by a relatively large tree next to it. But don’t be too dark during the flowering period.

3. Watering: Satsuki Azalea likes to be moist. When cultivating it in a place with very little rain, the substrate needs to be replenished with water in time, and water must be sprayed frequently. Of course, it should not be too waterlogged, and water accumulation should be avoided.

4. Fertilization: Rhododendron azalea is afraid of thick fertilizer, so it needs to be diluted when fertilizing. You don’t need to fertilize too often, usually once or twice a month is enough. Fertilizer before and after the flowering period is relatively important, especially phosphate fertilizer.

2. Breeding skills

1 , Propagation: Cutting method is the most commonly used method of reproduction. It is suitable to do it in May or June. Select semi-lignified, new branches with a length of five to eight centimeters as the material. It is best to cut off part of the leaves and then cut them. Furthermore, shading and maintaining temperature and humidity after cutting are also important.

2. Pruning: Satsuki azalea is very resistant to pruning. This is a very important step. Topping before flowering can promote better flowering later. At the end of autumn, when it is about to go dormant, it is necessary to repair all kinds of bad branches such as dead branches and leggy branches.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 1. Disease: From May to August, the common disease is "brown spot disease", which can be sprayed with fentanin once every ten days. There will also be "Coin's disease", which can be prevented and treated with copper sulfate.

2. Insect pests: The main type is "aphids", and they can also cause plants to be infected with other diseases, which need to be prevented in time. It can be controlled with carbofuran.
