In addition, more ventilation, if the maintenance environment is too hot, it will cause disease, will affect the quality of flowering.

Water content

Rhododendron is suitable for growing in humid places in four seasons. It should be watered in time to give it a slightly wet growing environment. However, its root is very thin, and the water should not be too much, which is very harmful to the growth of plant root system. In autumn and winter, the number and quantity of watering should be reduced to keep the soil slightly dry.
