You can tell by the name. It's a kind of flower. We all know that flowers look good only when they are seen in groups. It's the same with flowers. If there is no group planting but only a few trees, it will reduce its ornamental. When you look far away in groups, you can see the red purple flowers swaying in the air, very beautiful. There is no wild Rhododendron, but it is planted artificially. This is because the environment it needs is quite special, and it has quite strict requirements on the environment. How does this delicate flower breed without wild flowers?

1. Cutting

Cutting is limited by seasons. Generally, we choose June and July. The specific steps of this method are complicated. First of all, we need to screen the branches we will use. We should choose the half mature branches, and the branches must also be tender, the branches can not be too long, 12 to 15 cm.

We also need to do the pruning work. We need to remove the bottom leaves and leave only two or three leaves. It's not necessary to keep too many leaves at the top, just keep half of them.

In addition, we also need to use reagents to deal with it. The reagent is 0.8% indobutyric acid, and the time is two or three seconds.

2. Bead

The cutting should select the mature branches, preferably the ones that have been growing for two to three years, and then peel off the skin at the place 20 to 30 cm below the top. The width of the removed skin is about 2cm, and then we need to bandage it. The soil used for binding needs to contain rotten leaves. At the same time, we need to use film to fix them, so that we can wrap them well.

According to experience, we usually do this kind of activities in April and may. Here, the way of banding is called high altitude banding.

3. Sowing

Like rice planting, it starts to be different in the season, but it has its own suitable sowing time, generally around April. At this time, the temperature and humidity are more suitable for seed germination. Especially the temperature, just between 20 ℃ ~ 24 ℃, just in the best germination temperature of its seeds

The way of planting is also different from that of rice. What we adopt is to carry out pot seeding indoors, which is also convenient to move after growing.

The sprouting time does not need to be too long, as long as 10 to 15 filling after sowing, you can see the sprout. Of course, the growth of seedlings is extremely slow, so we need to be patient.
