Azalea transplanting should be selected around the Qingming Festival every year, specifically around April.At this time, the temperature has begun to rise, and before flowering, the plant has not fully recovered growth.Transplanting will reduce root damage, it can also restore growth faster, and the survival rate will be greatly improved.
1. Soil: When transplanting, pay attention to the use of soil. The soil must have good drainage performance, be loose and breathable.Can be prepared by mixing garden soil and river sand, and can be used only after disinfection treatment and sterilization.If the soil is too sticky, it will grow poorly or even die.
2. Pruning: Pruning should be carried out before transplanting into the soil. The leaves and the overdense buds should be cut off to reduce the consumption of nutrients and avoid the rapid evaporation of water.The root system should also be pruned, cutting off rotten roots and old roots, so that it can better absorb water and nutrients after potting, and promote stronger growth in the later period.
After transplanting into the soil, it is necessary to irrigate once as soon as possible, that is, root fixing water, which can promote a better combination of plants and potting soil.Late watering need not be too much, there should be no water accumulation, it is recommended to wait for the soil to dry before watering.Also do not rush to fertilize, wait for the wound to heal and restore growth before applying thin fertilizer to improve nutrients.
