Cultivation methods and precautions of wild azalea

Wild azalea has always been people's favorite ornamental flower. People also like to grow it at home, but they don't know how to grow it. Today, the editor will make a special introduction to it and write down the cultivation methods and precautions of wild azalea to share with everyone.

How to grow wild azalea

1. The growth environment of wild azalea

Rhododendrons can be grown outdoors at ordinary times and moved indoors in winter. However, they must be placed in a ventilated and cool place, and shaded in time in summer. The light transmittance can be around 30%. They must not be exposed to strong light. In addition, attention must be paid to the regulation of ambient temperature. Wild rhododendrons grow fastest when the outside temperature is around 25 degrees.

2. Preparation of wild azalea potting soil

When wild azaleas are grown in potted plants, the preparation of the potting soil is very important. Neither clay nor alkaline soil can be used to grow wild azaleas. It is best to choose slightly acidic soil, and it must be fertile, well-drained, and loose soil with strong air permeability. Sufficient base fertilizer should be applied before transplanting.

Precautions for breeding wild azalea

1. Pay attention to water quality when breeding wild azaleas

When growing wild azaleas, watering is very particular. It is best to use rainwater, river water or pond water for watering. If you don’t have it, you need to change the water quality of the tap water yourself. You need to take out the tap water and leave it for two to three days to allow the chlorine it contains to evaporate, and then add an appropriate amount of ferrous sulfate before you can water the wild azaleas.

2. Pay attention to fertilizer and water management when cultivating wild azaleas

When raising wild azaleas, you must pay attention to fertilizer and water management. This plant likes shade and humidity, and should not be too dry. When it is in bloom, it will have a particularly high demand for water, so you need to water it in time. In addition, wild azaleas will enter a dormant period after winter, so you need to reduce the water supply at that time, and water it once a week. Wild azaleas do not require much fertilizer, so you only need to fertilize it once a month, and you can choose a thin liquid fertilizer.
