Cultivation method

North of the Yangtze River, potted plants are used for viewing. Potted soil consists of humus soil, sandy soil and the same soil (7: 2: 1) mixed into cake fertilizer, manure and so on. , stir well and plant. Generally, change pots or soil in March in spring. The area south of the Yangtze River is mainly planted in the ground, which should be planted before germination in spring. The place should be in a ventilated and semi-cool place. The soil should be loose and fertile, rich in humus, and acidic sandy loam is suitable, and it is not suitable for water accumulation, otherwise it is not conducive to the normal growth of rhododendrons. After planting, be sure to water it.

Light and temperature

Move out of the greenhouse in the middle and late April, first put it in the lee of the sun, cool in summer, or put it in the shade under the tree to avoid direct sunlight. The suitable growth temperature is 15 -25℃, and the highest temperature is 32℃. From mid-June, autumn, 10 is moved indoors, and it is placed in a sunny place in winter. The room temperature is kept at 5-10℃, and the lowest temperature cannot be lower than 5℃, otherwise it will stop growing.

Water fertilization

After planting and soil improvement, water 1 time to make the roots fully contact with the soil, which is beneficial to the survival and growth of the roots. Pay attention to watering during the growth period, and gradually increase the amount of watering from March, especially in summer, always keep the basin soil moist, but don't accumulate water. Reduce watering after September, and then water after entering the house in winter. Fertilization in Taiwan Province is the key to raising Rhododendron, which likes fat and avoids hypertrophy. During the spring and autumn growing season, 10 times liquid water of pancake fertilizer should be applied every 1 0 day, which can be fermented with rice washing water, peel and vegetable leaves. In autumn, you can supplement some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and you can use fish and chicken viscera and meat washing water, rice washing water and some peels. In addition to the homemade household fertilizers mentioned above, you can also buy some household fertilizers to use, but remember to apply them "thinly". Apply dry fertilizer 1 time (small amount) before winter, and don't apply base fertilizer when changing pots. In addition, when watering or fertilizing water, tap water should not be used directly, but should be acidified (adding ferrous sulfate or vinegar) and then used when the pH value reaches about 6.

Plastic trimming

Pick buds in time during bud stage, so as to concentrate on supplying nutrients and promote colorful flowers. Pruning branches is usually carried out in spring and autumn. Cut off cross branches, over-dense branches, overlapping branches and weak branches, and remove residual flowers in time. Plastic surgery is generally a natural tree, with a little artificial modification, which is arbitrary because of the tree shape.

Flowering period control

From June+10 in 5438 or 20 days before the Spring Festival, the potted flowers were moved to the sunny place at 20℃ in the greenhouse. Other management is normal, and flowers can be seen during the Spring Festival. If you want to see the flowers in May 1 day, you can move the flowerpot indoors below 5℃ for cold storage before germination in early spring, move it to the sunny place in the greenhouse at 20℃ in April 10, and move it out on April 20th, so you can see the flowers on May 1 day. Therefore, the temperature can adjust the flowering period, and it will open at four o'clock as you like. In addition, the plants cut immediately after flowering can bloom in late June at 65438+ 10; If pruned in the peak season, the flowering period can be delayed by about 40 days; If pruning is combined with cutting, the flowering period can be postponed to February of the following year. Therefore, pruning in different periods also affects flowering time.

Fertilization skills

Rhododendron fertilization should grasp the season, and the concentration allocation should be timely, appropriate and moderate. Rhododendron has a fine root system and strong water and fertilizer absorption ability. It likes fertilizer, but it is afraid of thick fertilizer. The excrement of ordinary people is not suitable, and it is suitable for top dressing alum to fertilize water. Fertilization of rhododendron should be carried out according to different growth periods. From March to May, in order to promote the growth of branches and buds, apply fertilizer 1 time per week. June to August is the midsummer season. Rhododendron grows slowly and is in a semi-dormant state. Excessive fertilization will not only make the old leaves fall off, but also make the new leaves yellow, and it is also prone to pests and diseases, so fertilization should be stopped. In late September, the weather gradually turned cold, and azaleas grew in autumn. Applying 1 times liquid phosphate fertilizer every 10 day can promote the growth of plant flower buds. After 10 months, the growth in autumn basically stopped, and it was no longer used.

The flower language of azaleas: First, it belongs to you forever. Second, it represents the joy of love. It is said that people who like this kind of flowers are innocent.

The motto of azaleas is that when you see azaleas blooming all over the mountain, it is the time when love comes.

Flower language: joy of love, temperance, temperance of desire

The meaning of color: the joy of love

White: the joy of being loved

Its flower language is "golden mean", the biggest reason is that it only blooms in its own flower season, although cuckoo always gives people a lively and noisy feeling. Not in the flower season, dark green leaves are also suitable for planting in the garden as a low wall or barrier.
