Last Updated: 2024/11/22, When watering azaleas, you should pay special attention to the water quality. It is best to use natural Rain Water for water, because natural Rain Water does not contain drugs and impurities such as bleach. The second is river water and pond water, and the third is tap water. Tap water is purified soft water, which contains bleaching powder, liquid chlorine, alum and other chemicals. If this kind of water is used for a long time, it will gradually increase the alkalinity in the basin soil, which is not conducive to the growth of azaleas. Therefore, the water quality must be treated before use. The treatment is to acidify it. Water that is neutral or alkaline to water quality

When watering azaleas, you should pay special attention to the water quality. It is best to use natural Rain Water for water, because natural Rain Water does not contain drugs and impurities such as bleach. The second is river water and pond water, and the third is tap water. Tap water is purified soft water, which contains bleaching powder, liquid chlorine, alum and other chemicals. If this kind of water is used for a long time, it will gradually increase the alkalinity in the basin soil, which is not conducive to the growth of azaleas. Therefore, the water quality must be treated before use. The treatment is to acidify it. Water with neutral or alkaline water quality should be prepared into acidic water. The usual method is to acidify water with ferrous sulfate (green alum) and edible vinegar. If the water quality is too alkaline, ferrous sulfate and edible vinegar can be used together, and the specific dosage can be prepared according to the pH value of water, ferrous sulfate and vinegar. The simple method is to irrigate an aqueous solution containing 0.1%-0.5% ferrous sulfate for a long time, or sprinkle a little ferrous sulfate on the basin surface for 10-15 days. An aqueous solution containing 0.5%-1% vinegar can also be irrigated once in 10-15 days. Watering can also use tap water and well water after drying treatment. Drying water can reduce the harm of harmful ions in tap water, increase the water temperature of well water, eliminate the temperature difference between water and basin soil, and facilitate root absorption. 0.15% ferrous sulfate is also added when using tap water. When watering, it is more beneficial if it can be irrigated alternately with mature fertilizer liquid water. Because the common use of these two kinds of water can not only maintain a certain acidity of the basin soil, but also provide certain nutrients, which is suitable for the growth of azaleas.
