Azaleas should pay special attention to maintenance during the flowering period. Proper management can extend the flowering period. The first is to ensure sufficient lighting, not too long, and not exposed to strong light. When watering, water it enough to keep the pot soil moist, and do not water half of it. The temperature should be controlled at 10-15℃, and should be higher than 5℃ at night. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent pests and diseases. The common disease is flower rot, which can be controlled with methanoate. Pests include red spider mites and armyworms, which can be sprayed with omethoate.

1. Sufficient light

The light of azaleas changes before and after the flowering period. When the flower buds first appear, the lighting time should be appropriately extended, but after they swell, the lighting should be appropriately weakened. Too much light will cause damage to the flowers, so proper shade is required. Long-term absence of light will cause delayed flowering, so it cannot be kept indoors all the time.

2. Water appropriately

Rhododendrons also have high water requirements during the flowering period. This is because it blooms a lot and needs more water. Insufficient water will cause the flowers to become a little wilted and the petals to fade. When watering, be careful not to drop it onto the flowers, as this will cause internal rot and shorten their lifespan.

3. Temperature control

Flowering period The temperature should be kept at about 10-15℃, and it should not be lower than 5℃ at night. Too high a temperature will result in fewer flower buds, and a low temperature will result in no flowering. Therefore, maintaining this temperature can effectively extend the flowering period.

4. Pest and disease control

Due to If the soil is kept wet for a long time, it is easy to cause various diseases and insect pests. The most common one is flower rot, which shortens the flowering period and can lead to further diseases such as rot. Diseased residual flowers should be removed promptly and sprayed with desenonium solution for prevention and treatment. For pests such as spider mites and armyworms, it is necessary to spray them with omethoate solution.
