Rhododendron is known as a very pleasant flower, and it also has a good implication in it, so generally during the festival, many families will choose a basin of Rhododendron to take home to raise, looking forward to the coming of blessing. Rhododendron is very beautiful, and the best one in it has great ornamental value. However, after many people raise Rhododendron, it is easy to have some problems, such as yellow leaves drying up, or only a season of flowers, which are actually caused by poor water and fertilizer management. What's the best way? Let me introduce you.

I. fertilizer management of Rhododendron dew

1. Soil requirements

Rhododendron is suitable for growing in acid soil. Alkaline soil is easy to cause the poor development of Rhododendron. Rhododendron dewdrop has higher requirements on soil. People in the North love to raise Rhododendron, but the soil in the north is not suitable for the growth of Rhododendron, because the pH value of the soil in the north is relatively alkaline, so the culture soil for planting Rhododendron should be prepared with humus.

2. Fertilizer concentration

People who grow Rhododendron dewdrop know that their roots are bearded and extremely thin, so they have high requirements for the preparation of fertilizer and the quality of water. Therefore, when applying fertilizer, we must hold the concentration. It must not be too high, so you can apply more thin fertilizer and be industrious.

3. Types of fertilization

So how to apply fertilizer in different seasons? In spring, Rhododendron need to add a phosphate fertilizer, which can accelerate the growth of flower leaves and buds before flowering. After flowering, we need to apply one or two times of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer. In autumn, it's time to get pregnant again. At this time, we need to apply one or two times of phosphate fertilizer. So it can be seen that Rhododendron is in the growth and flowering of these two stages is more time-consuming.

2. Water management of Rhododendron dew

Dewdrop Rhododendron likes cool and humid environment, so it is necessary to keep the humidity around the flowers all the time, and naturally keep the air humidity around the flowers all the time. In summer, the water in the soil and plants is very easy to evaporate, which causes the soil to be very dry. Therefore, in summer, water more to keep the soil moist. In winter, don't water it too often, just dry it and then water it again, and don't water it too much, because the growth in winter is relatively slow, too much water is easy to cause root rot.

3. Control of the flowering period of Rhododendron.

In autumn, Rhododendron will carry out flower bud differentiation. After people found this rule, they began to control the flowering period by themselves. You can first refrigerate the dewdrop azalea in advance. If you want it to bloom in advance, put it in the greenhouse for breeding, control the temperature to about 25 ℃, and water the flowers and leaves frequently, keep the surrounding air humidity above 80, and then wait patiently for 45 days left and right to harvest the beautiful dewdrop azalea..
