Last Updated: 2024/11/09, When the seedlings you buy are shipped to the greenhouse, they are usually fragile and easily damaged during transportation, so careful handling by users is very important. Strengthening management at the beginning can avoid many problems later on. 1, the first time to install the pot: if you buy is the plug seedlings, it is best to use 8-10 cm hard plastic pots. The medium in basin does not press too solid, in order to aerate, want to maintain certain humidity. Do not prune when filling pots, prune when the terminal buds begin to grow after the roots are developed.

When the seedlings you buy are shipped to the greenhouse, they are usually vulnerable and vulnerable to damage during transportation, so it is very important for users to handle them carefully. Strengthen management at the beginning, so as to avoid a lot of problems in the future.

1. Install the basin for the first time: if you buy a pot seedling, you'd better use a hard plastic basin of 8-10 cm. The matrix in the basin should not be pressed too hard for ventilation and maintain a certain degree of humidity. Do not prune when filling the pot, prune again when the terminal bud begins to grow after the root system is developed.

2. Cultivation: one month after loading, the root system can be pruned if the root system is well developed. You have to cut off the terminal bud. It is better to branch from the bottom, like a shrub after pruning, and the plant shape is completely compact, so we should pay attention to fertilization at this time. If the branch is not good, the second pruning should be carried out. At this time, continue to fertilize and increase the content of nitrogen fertilizer. In summer, enough water must be irrigated to prevent water shortage, but excessive water may also affect the growth of root anaerobic respiration and sometimes flower bud differentiation. Fertilizing and watering should be reduced in autumn.

3. The second pot: when the root system of the alpine rhododendron grows full in the 8-10 cm basin, the plant grows to 10-15 cm high and 5-6 branches, then the basin should be changed and the 14-16 cm basin should be used. At this time, the amount of fertilizer should be increased, combined with appropriate shaping and pruning and pest control.
