Rhododendron is a traditional famous flower in China, rhododendron has the reputation of flowers in the West, it blooms brilliantly and colorfully, the flowers are beautiful, full of bright flowers, often used as a new year flower at home, festive and auspicious, ornamental value is very high. In the flower shop, it is estimated that this full of flowers is very eye-catching, but the azaleas are really not so good to serve. Lose your temper at every turn, the yellow leaves fall leaves, and after opening a stubble of flowers, they will die and warp, so that they have to buy every year and become disposable flowers. Raising a cuckoo and figuring out its temper is not difficult to raise. Remember these points, you can all pop up.
First, do not change the pot
When the azaleas are purchased, they are mostly full of flower buds, and some even have popcorns, but some people think that the leather pot it originally brought is not good at all, so they replace it with a beautiful flower pot to take it home. In fact, such a blow to it is fatal, autumn is an important stage of its growth, at this time its growth is very vigorous, the buds grow vigorously, if this time to change its pot. Especially replaced with a porcelain pot that is not very breathable, although it is very beautiful, but it has no benefit to its root system at all, it will first enter a period of slow seedlings, and then its root system adapts to the new environment, and then gradually grows, which will lead to its lack of nutrients and fallen leaves, yellow leaves, and even affect its flower buds, resulting in flower buds are dry and fallen, and can no longer flower.
So if the newly bought azalea is not recommended to change the pot, just put it in a beautiful pot and maintain it. If you want to change the pot, you can change the pot after the flower is over. The newly purchased flowers with flower buds are forbidden to change pots, which increases its burden, resulting in the unsuccessful slow seedlings, which is likely to lead to the death of the entire plant.
Second, bask in the sun
Many people think that azaleas are raised indoors, do not need to see too much light, some directly put it in the living room, in fact, azaleas it is a kind of light-loving plant, especially in the autumn and winter when it is particularly cool, more sunbathing, help its buds to open. It's just that it's afraid of that intense light. For example, the summer light is very strong, as long as it is to avoid strong light, it will not have a problem.
Given good light in spring, autumn and winter, it grows well, has thick leaves and blooms. In the summer, it is enough to properly cover the light. Especially even after the cloudy day, the sun suddenly appeared again, so that the cuckoo is also prone to sunburn problems, and the leaves will fall suddenly. So the newly purchased azaleas are placed indoors, slowed down for a few days, adapted to the environment, and then taken to a well-lit place to bask in the sun. If the light is too strong, avoid it at noon, so that it will grow very vigorously.
Third, water and fertilize
If you want the cuckoo to grow well, watering is also a very important reason. Rhododendron is actually a plant that likes to be wet, because its leaves are particularly thin, and it can remain oily green in a humid environment without dry leaves. In the case of good ventilation, you can moisturize the surrounding spray, its root system is very weak, afraid of dry and afraid of wet, so the surface of the potting soil is dried and watered in time. Then more ventilation, let the water evaporate quickly, so that its root system not only absorbs the water, but also does not accumulate, so that the cuckoo can grow well. Therefore, the cuckoo should be placed in a well-ventilated place so that it is not easy to have problems. If you are maintaining indoors, you must often open the window for ventilation, if you can not often open the window for ventilation, you must always pay attention to the humidity in the pot.
Because the leaves of rhododendrons are full of fine hairs, these hairs can be contaminated with water, so try not to spray rhododendrons, so that the leaf surface carries too much water, easy to appear germ infection. If the sun is exposed, it is also easy to have the problem of spots in some leaves that are refracted by light refraction and sunburn.
Fourth, fertilize
Rhododendrons bloom in a particularly large amount, just like they can bloom into large flower balls, so fertilization is essential. The newly purchased rhododendron does not need to be fertilized first, because its fertilizer is sufficient in the flower shed, but if you raise your own rhododendron or rhododendron flowering time for a long time, you must add phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to it, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate or flower duoduo no. 2, add it two to three times a month, according to the ratio of 1: 1000 watering in the pot, so it will be very fast, the flower buds bloom more, there are also large flower buds, it is not easy to fall flower buds.
Solving these problems, the rhododendrons in our home will bloom every year, blossoming one stubble after another, and the leaves will grow oil green vigorously, and it is not easy to fall flower buds.
