So how should rhododendron potted plants be made? How should we maintain azaleas when breeding them? This article is small in your introduction.
Rhododendron is one of the traditional famous flowers in China, has a very long history, and is an excellent flower variety for making potted plants. The rhododendron plant is shaped and can be cultivated into a beautiful and colorful potted plant, which is the darling of the flower festival in China and even in the world, and some people call it "flower in the West". Rhododendron belongs to the deciduous shrub of the rhododendron family Rhododendron genus, and is also known as Yingshan red. This article introduces the bonsai machine production and maintenance methods of rhododendrons.
How to make rhododendron bonsai
1. Select pots
Rhododendrons generally use slightly darker oval, rectangular or round pots, and the texture is purple sand pottery or glazed pottery. The color of the pot should be darker and darker, in contrast with the flower color, and it is best not to have flower decorations on the pot. In the case of cliff-type cuckoos, deep thousand barrels can be used; Rhogan-type cuckoos can use slightly shallow oval pots.
2. Use soil
Rhododendrons should use fertile and loose saprophyll soil or mountain soil in pine forests. Potted plants are also commonly used to dry and freeze loose pond soil or rice field soil, mixed with an appropriate amount of sandy soil.
3. Planting
It can be potted in early spring or after the flowers have fallen. If the stump of wild mountain trees is excavated, because the roots have mycorrhizae, they need to be planted with native soil. When planting, the straight roots can be cut short, and chicken manure or bean cake can be placed on the bottom of the pot as the base fertilizer. The branches and leaves are also pruned as appropriate.
Rhododendron bonsai conservation techniques
1. Place of placement
We generally put the rhododendron in a warm and humid environment to breed, preferably with good ventilation. Usually can be placed in the bright light maintenance, summer and early autumn high temperature season to carry out shading, to avoid the sun exposure, otherwise the strong light will burn the leaves, but also can not be too shady, so as not to grow plants, affect the flowering, can be placed under the shade or under the shade of the tree maintenance. In winter, move into a sunny place indoors, keep the soil above 0 °C from freezing, and control watering to make the potting soil slightly moist.
2. Water and fertilizer conditions
Rhododendron likes to be wet, keep the soil moist during the growth period, but do not accumulate water, pay attention to drainage in the rainy season, and sprinkle water on the plant and the surrounding ground when the air is dry to increase air humidity and prevent the leaves from drying out. It is also possible to cover the surface of the potting soil with a layer of soft grass to prevent the scorching sun from burning the fine whisker roots on the surface of the potting soil.
Rhododendron likes fertilizer, but its roots are extremely fine, so fertilization must not be thick, too much fertilization, will cause wilting phenomenon. It is best to take "thin fertilizer and diligent application". In order to prevent the occurrence of yellowing disease, a small amount of black alum can be added to the fertilizer liquid to make the leaf color thick green and bright. Phosphate fertilizers such as bone meal and calcium superphosphate are applied 1 to 2 times during the bud stage, which can promote the flowers to be colorful.
3. Trim
Potted rhododendrons are mostly for the purpose of viewing flowers, do not pay attention to shape, and allowing them to grow naturally will not only hinder growth, but also reduce the ornamentality of flowers. Prune once a year after flowering, prune diseased insect branches, dry dead branches, cross branches, overlapping branches, thin weak branches, long branches, and cut off overly long branches appropriately, so that the plant shape is beautiful, the distribution of branches is reasonable, and the ventilation and light transmittance of the inner chamber are strengthened, which is conducive to the growth of the plant and the beautiful shape of the tree.
4. Turn the pot
Turn the pot once every 2-3 years, the pot is better after flowering, and the pot can be turned in the early spring and autumn. Remove about one-third of the old soil when turning the pot, cut off a small amount of old roots, and replace it with loose saprophyll or mountain mud. Put a small amount of chicken manure and soybean cake on the bottom of the pot as a base fertilizer. Since most of the root system of rhododendron is distributed in the soil surface layer, the topsoil layer should be retained when turning the pot.
5. Pest control
The main insect pests of rhododendron are large moths, reticulum bugs and rhododendron leaf bees, which can be sprayed with 1200 times the liquid of the enemy hundreds, or the method of killing egg blocks and larvae on young leaves. Common diseases are leaf spot disease, rust, etc., which can be controlled with zinc or Bordeaux liquid.
