For beginners to grow flowers, choose it as beautiful and easy to grow. One flower can bloom for 30 days.

Rhododendron, also known as Yingshanhong and pomegranate, is an evergreen or ordinary green shrub. It is a neutral flower and likes a warm, semi-shady, cool, ventilated and humid environment. Rhododendron potted plants can be placed in front of the door, courtyard, living room or office, which not only beautifies the environment, but also pleases people's mood. Rhododendrons bloom in spring, with 2-6 flowers in each cluster, and the Corolla is funnel-shaped. there are red, light red, apricot red, snow cyan, white and so on.

Rhododendron after years of cultivation, there have been a large number of cultivated varieties, more colors of flowers, flower shapes are also varied, there are single and double varieties, there are more than 900 species of rhododendron in the world, in summer conservation to protect from the sun shade, avoid intense sun exposure, suitable for growing under scattered light with low light intensity, too strong light, young leaves easy to burn, new leaves and old leaves scorched edge, serious will lead to plant death.

As the cuckoo is a shade-loving plant, the direct sun is not good for its growth, so it is best to plant it in a shaded place.

Rhododendron is an acidic soil with good drainage, loose, fertile and rich in humus, which is suitable for acidic sandy loam and should not be stagnant water. Rhododendron is more delicate than other flowers and prefers acidic soil and water quality. in general, tap water is alkaline or hard, and direct irrigation will cause poor growth, or even yellowing, it is necessary to use soft water and adjust acid properly. The easiest way is for us to boil the tap water and cool it and then use it to water the azaleas.

Azaleas like yin and dampness and should not be too dry. More water is especially needed during flowering. Azaleas have entered a dormant period in winter and do not need much water. Generally, they are watered every 4-5 days, which should be carried out around noon on sunny and warm days, and azaleas like the environment with high air humidity. Rhododendron leaves can be sprayed with water or spray on the surrounding air to keep the surrounding air moist.

Azaleas like fertilizer but avoid thick fertilizer. Generally, some organic fertilizers can be applied as base fertilizer at the beginning of spring. After rhododendron blossoms from April to May, because the plant consumes a lot of nutrients during the flowering period, the new shoots grow with the germination of leaf buds. Fertilizer can be applied every 15 days or so. After entering the dog days, most of the shoots have stopped growing, at this time is the high temperature season, the physiological activity is weakened, can no longer topdressing.

The reason why azaleas do not blossom: generally speaking, it is too strong direct light, frostbite, too much watering, too thick fertilization, too long indoor time, poor air circulation or dark wet places, acid rain, etc., so we must pay attention to avoid these situations in the maintenance process!

Note: potted azaleas are placed in a very fastidious place, generally on the southeast balcony, and should be ventilated, move as little as possible, if not ventilated, it is easy to suffer from black spot, a large number of fallen leaves.
