How to fertilize azaleas, fertilization methods and maintenance skills of azaleas

Azaleas are relatively common plants in life, and they have high ornamental value, and they also seem to keep people in a good mood, but many people do not know how to fertilize azaleas when they breed azaleas. In fact, it is not difficult to fertilize plants. As long as they are not fertilized too much, they will not cause azaleas to die directly, so if you want to raise plants at home, follow the editor to learn about them.

How to fertilize azaleas

The growth rate of azaleas is relatively fast, so if you want to fertilize it, it is best to apply nitrogen fertilizer, but we should pay attention not to too much, otherwise it will affect the normal growth of plants, so only proper fertilization is conducive to plant absorption of nutrients, so it can thrive more.

And control watering before fertilization, the premise is to keep the soil dry, and then fertilize, it should be noted that after fertilization, must be watered thoroughly, so as to dilute the fertilizer in the soil, so that the plant can better absorb. In addition, azaleas like green fertilizer water, can rett some vegetable leaves, pericarp and other fertilizers, when fertilizing, add the right amount of green fertilizer water, the effect is better.

II. Fertilization methods of rhododendron

Fertilization of azaleas should also be carried out according to different growth periods. Generally speaking, azaleas grow luxuriantly in spring. In order to promote the growth of branches, leaves and buds, they are fertilized once a week. In summer, the growth rate of azaleas is relatively slow, so too much fertilization will only affect the normal growth of plants, resulting in yellowing and shedding of leaves.

However, the azaleas will enter the growing season again in autumn, so you can choose to apply fertilizer every ten days, which can also promote the growth of flower buds of the plant, and if it is well maintained, it can blossom ahead of schedule, but after winter, the growth of azaleas has basically stopped, so there is no need to fertilize it, and plants usually enter a dormant period in winter, and if you fertilize it at this stage, there will only be root burning symptoms.

III. Conservation skills of azaleas

1. Thin fertilizer and little application

Azaleas are required to use light fertilizer when fertilizing, and do not use too much. Because the root system of rhododendron is relatively fine, if the fertilization is too much and the concentration is high, the nutrients are difficult to absorb and will make the plant lose water, seriously burn the roots, and appear the phenomenon of yellowing and wilting of leaves, so we should stop fertilizing and watering to reduce the concentration of fertilizer.

2. Phosphate fertilizer is the best fertilizer.

Azaleas should be fertilized mainly with phosphate fertilizer and combined with phosphorus and nitrogen in flowering. Today, Xiaobian recommends a special fertilizer for flowers that is easy to use. The proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is more reasonable, which is suitable for the application of rhododendron. At the same time, it can make rhododendron roots strong seedlings, strong branches and leaves, disease-resistant and stress-resistant, large flowers, beautiful flowers, and prolonged preservation.

Conclusion: through the detailed introduction above, I believe you already know how to fertilize azaleas. In fact, as long as you fertilize properly, you can make plants grow faster, but if you fertilize too much, there will only be rotten roots. So we can follow the above azaleas fertilization methods and conservation techniques to do.
