Rhododendron, also known as Yingshanhong and pomegranate, is an evergreen or ordinary green shrub. Rhododendron blossoms in spring, which is a typical indicator plant of acidic soil in south-central and southwest China. Today I will introduce the difference between azaleas and camellias.

I. the difference between azaleas and camellias

The petals of azaleas are very small, with only five petals, while the petals of camellias have many layers of folds. The stamens of azaleas have white or black spots; the stamens of camellias are golden.

Second, the propagation mode of camellia.

1. Cuttage

Cutting is the most simple and convenient, and the most suitable cutting time is September. Select the well-growing, semi-lignified branches, remove the basal leaves, retain the upper 3 leaves, cut them into an oblique mouth with a sharp knife, immediately soak the incision in indole butyric acid for 5-15 minutes, and insert it into a sand basin or vermiculite basin after drying. After insertion, the wound healed after 40 days of watering and rooting about 60 days.

two。 Leaf cuttings

The leaf cuttage method is generally used for camellia propagation, but some valuable varieties are also used because of the limitation of the source of branches or considering that the tree shape will be affected after sampling. Using the mountain mud as the cutting substrate, you can mix it into the river sand of 1 stroke 3, put the matrix in a tile basin, and then cut it in the basin.

3. High insertion

The most important feature of the high-altitude cutting method is that it can give new life to all the weak twigs that should have been trimmed off from the camellias. And this method has the advantages of high survival rate, quick rejuvenation and early flowering. The thin branches that need to be pruned are girdled in an appropriate position. The girdling length can be between 5-8 mm. The plastic film of appropriate size is bound, and the sterilized peat soil or rotten leaf soil is added to the film. After 7-10 days, the lower part of the plastic film is then girdled for 5-8 mm.

Rhododendron Corolla bright red, is a famous flower plant, with high ornamental value, is cultivated in parks all over the world.
