A year later, the miniature azalea bonsai urgently needs fertilizer to supplement nutrients and promote the bonsai to flourish. There are many kinds of fertilizers used, such as soybean cake, vegetable cake, pig, chicken and rabbit feces, animal hair and internal organs. Put it into the jar and add water to seal it. It can be used only after full fermentation (more than half a year). Use must add water dilute solution, remember thin fertilizer more, azalea roots such as too thick configuration will cause fertilizer damage, each fertilization should be separated by about 15 days, yellow leaves can be added when fertilizing ferrous sulfate or potassium dihydrogen phosphate spray.

Azalea flowering period in March, such as fertilization may affect the flowering period, resulting in seasonal "disorder", so there is a plan to fertilize, in order to achieve the best effect of flower viewing. After flowering, remove the residual flowers and ovaries as soon as possible, fertilize them on time, and stop in summer. Wait until mid-September to fertilize, then you can increase the concentration of points, winter also to control fertilization. If fertilizer is applied continuously, the azalea after flowering will quickly recover its original qi, sprout and leave, and some azalea have new buds looming in mid-April.

As temperatures rise and nutrients are constantly supplied, new buds grow larger and fuller. Before autumn is over, they reveal their own colors. Before October, they can't wait to bloom one after another. They will continue to bloom until the next year's official flowering season, but there are few left (the author personally experienced). It takes many years to correct the seasonal flowering of Azalea. Therefore, watering and fertilizing in potted plants is an invisible art.

It takes about 8 to 9 months for azalea to flower from flower bud differentiation to budding. Rational fertilization is the key link to make azalea flourish. Specific fertilization methods are as follows:

Azalea should apply nitrogen-based fertilizer 2 to 3 times after flowering, once every 10 days, to promote the growth of branches and leaves.

After August, when the new branches and leaves lignify and the azalea buds are pregnant, the fertilizer mainly composed of phosphorus and combined with nitrogen and phosphorus should be applied 2 to 3 times, once every half month. At this time, if no fertilizer is applied, or lack of phosphorus fertilizer or use of nitrogen-containing fertilizer such as soybean juice, azalea will only grow sterile buds.

No fertilization during winter dormancy. Before flowering, apply phosphorus mainly, nitrogen, phosphorus combination of thin fertilizer 1 to 2 times, so that when flowering flowers big color. At this time, the fertilizer concentration should be low, too thick will lead to bud withered coke can not bloom.
