How to breed azaleas, how to breed azaleas

Rhododendron, commonly known as Yingshan red, the plant is an evergreen shrub, the flowering period is in March and April every year, rhododendron is a small famous flower species, the flower color is varied, there are common red, pink, purple, apricot yellow, white and other colors, the plant flower color mix and match will have a different sense of beauty, in the season of plant flowers in full bloom, in nature we can see the plant blooming in the mountains and fields is extremely beautiful and spectacular.

In the environment of plant planting, we need to plant this plant in acidic soil between the pH value, the plant can not grow in alkaline soil, can not survive, this plant is a sign of acidic soil, our country is still very insightful in the cultivation of rhododendrons, the color of the corolla is gorgeous and luxuriant, it has a high appreciation value, and it is one of the very important bonsai plants in the southern region of our country.

How do you raise azaleas? These practical methods teach you how to grow beautiful flowers!

According to the current bonsai technology, we need to use mountain stumps to plant bonsai, this is the only way to quickly plant the stumps, but it is also a tricky thing to restore the original rhododendron stumps, as a novice is also difficult to get things done, we need a certain amount of experience to complete the transfer of the stump, the planting of plants is not a simple thing, so this bonsai can also be bought at a good price.

Rhododendron cultivation is very ordinary, but first you have to put your soil with some good humus. Cut some more. Matsutake mushrooms.

The permeability of such a branch is very good. Put it in a ventilated place, so that the rhododendron will grow normally.

The cultivation method of rhododendron should pay attention to the soil, temperature, light, humidity requirements and reasonable fertilization; The precautions are pruning and repotting.

First, the breeding method.

1. Soil. Rhododendron prefers loose and fertile, weakly acidic, well-drained and aerative soil, and does not like clayy and alkaline soil; Therefore, we can mix humus, peat soil and sandy soil according to the five-to-two-to-three ratio of the soil to raise it, and a small amount of bone meal can be mixed into the soil before planting or transplanting to increase the mineral content of the soil.

2. Temperature. The most suitable temperature for the growth of rhododendron flowers is 15-25, in the spring or autumn to try to let it grow in this temperature range, in the summer when the temperature is relatively high, pay attention to temperature control, the maximum can not exceed 32, in the winter when the temperature is relatively low, it should be moved to the house in time, and keep the temperature above 5.

3. Watering. Watering azaleas is a technical job, it is easy to rot roots if you water it too much, and it will dry out its leaves if you water it less; Generally speaking, we only need to keep the potting soil moist in early spring, and in late spring and early summer, when it is ready to bloom, the water demand will increase greatly, so we should water a little more.

In the summer, in addition to watering, you should spray some water on the plants, in the autumn, when the weather becomes cooler, you need to control the water moderately, let the potting soil dry slightly, and in winter it enters dormancy, you need to reduce watering. Change annihilation.

4. Humidity requirements.

Raising a good rhododendron must be well ventilated, because it likes a lot of air humidity, in the case of good ventilation, you can spray water on its leaves in the morning and evening to maintain air humidity, if the air humidity is too dry, it will cause it to dry yellow leaves, fallen leaves.

5. Reasonable fertilization.

Rhododendron does not like big fertilizer, especially avoid fertilizer, thick fertilizer, you can add an appropriate amount of slow-release fertilizer to the potting soil, usually top dressing can be used to rot soybean cake water, should often apply acidic fertilizer to rhododendron to adjust soil acidity and alkalinity, apply ferrous sulfate fertilizer once a week, can effectively alleviate the problem of soil alkalinization.

2. Precautions.

1. Prune. Rhododendron grows relatively fast and is easy to grow very dense, which will cause many internal branches and leaves to not see light and cannot grow healthily, so it should be pruned in time, which will not only make it look better, but also make it healthier.

2. Change the pot. The growth of azaleas needs to consume nutrients in the soil, and after a year or two, the nutrients in the soil will be absorbed by it, and then it must be replaced with new nutrient-rich soil so that it can continue to grow healthily.

1. Suitable environment.

Rhododendron prefers a warm climate, with a suitable growing temperature of 15 -25, and grows better in full sun, rather than dark and humid environments.

2. Choose the right soil.

Rhododendron prefers acidic soil, so it is recommended to use acidic soil or mix sand, humus, pine needles, etc. to adjust the pH of the soil. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the drainage of water to avoid causing water accumulation.

3. Proper watering.

Watering is an important part of rhododendron maintenance, according to its growth status to carry out proper watering, the roots of azaleas are very thin, the absorption capacity is also poor, and the water must be absorbed by the roots to reach the flower body, so the rhododendron watering, in addition to the winter dormant period, should be done diligent watering and moisturizing, especially in the growth period after March every year, the flowering period, and the high temperature period from July to September, the draft smile should increase the number of watering, it is best to ensure that watering is about twice a day, In autumn and winter, it can be watered sparingly.

Fourth, pay attention to pruning.

The branches of rhododendrons grow relatively fast and are prone to grow unevenly, so we can prune them at the right time during the growth period to make the growth of azaleas more beautiful, and at the same time, it is also conducive to the growth of more branches and flower buds.

5. Fertilization. Rhododendron needs a certain amount of nutrients to grow, so it needs to be replenished indiscriminately during the growth period. We can manure once in spring and autumn, organic liquid manure in summer and stop fertiliser in winter.

Prepare soil rich in organic matter to ensure the permeability of the root system. The environment should be warm and comfortable, and spray and ventilate regularly. Watering in time, at the right time and in the right amount, so that the dry and wet cycle of the potting soil is regular.

Thin fertilizer is applied frequently, and rice water is skillfully used to supplement acidity. Prune and pick flowers in time to make use of limited nutrients for flowering and leaf growth.

Rhododendron is a deciduous shrub of the genus Rhododendron in the Rhododendron family, 2-5 meters high, with many and slender branches. The leaves are leathery, often clustered at the ends of the branches, ovate, elliptic-ovate or obovate, the front end is short and gradual or rounded and pointed, the leaf margins are slightly reversed and finely toothed, dark green above, pale white below; The corolla is broadly funnel-shaped, obovate, and generally 2-6 clusters are born at the top of the branches.

Rhododendron has a wide range of medicinal value, according to the "Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine" and other relevant Chinese medicine literature: Wang Ma Rhododendron has a sweet and sour taste, has the effect of invigorating blood and regulating menstruation, and can treat bruises, rheumatism, joint pain and other diseases; Because of the bright red color of the corolla, it can be used as a flower plant and has high ornamental value; The cuckoo can also monitor toxic gases.

The method of raising and rearing rhododendrons is as follows:

1. Sunlight: Rhododendron is not suitable for exposure to the sun, but it can be grown under scattered light. Too much sunlight can cause leaf burns, leaf edge wilting, and death. Therefore, it must be shaded in time at noon in summer, or put in a semi-shaded place.

2. Soil: Rhododendron has certain requirements for soil, in addition to good drainage, it is best to be acidic. Generally, it is mixed with humus and sand, and a small amount of Hengque cake fertilizer is introduced as base fertilizer.

3. Watering: Rhododendron watering can neither dry nor damp, just keep the soil slightly moist. Generally in spring and autumn, water every two to three days.

It needs to be watered every day in the summer and dried again in the winter. The water quality should also be strictly controlled, and the temperature should be close to room temperature before using ferrous sulfate or acetic acidification.

4. Fertilization: Fertilization of rhododendrons is very demanding. At the beginning of spring, organic fertilizer can be added to the pot as a base fertilizer.

After flowering, top dressing is done once every 15 days. When the branches stop growing a little, you can stop fertilizing. Top dressing once in autumn is conducive to overwintering, while fertilization is not suitable in winter.

Precautions for cultivating rhododendrons

1. Apply thin fertilizer frequently. It needs nutrient support to grow, so it needs to be regularly fertilized to it. However, when fertilizing, you need to dilute the fertilizer in advance to prevent too concentrated fertilizer from burning its roots.

2. Timely pest control. During the growth process, it may develop some pests and diseases. Once it is found that it needs to be sprayed in time**, it cannot be left unattended, otherwise it may cause a wide range of plant death.

1. Potting soil: It is more appropriate to use a tile pot for pots, and it is necessary to use the kind of hole at the bottom and the ventilation effect is better. Since rhododendrons have shallow roots and grow slowly, smaller pots can be used so that there is no waste when watering and it is more conducive to growth.

Potting soil should be used looser, well-drained acidic soil, can also be used to part of the humus, sawdust, when filling the potting soil, should pay attention to the bottom with coarse soil, on the top with fine soil. In terms of refurbishing potting soil, it can be once every 1 to 2 years for new planting, and once every 3 to 5 years for more than 10 years, or it can not be replaced.

2. Watering: The roots of azaleas are very thin, and the absorption capacity is also poor, and the water must be absorbed by the roots to reach the spring search of the flower body, so the watering of azaleas, in addition to the dormant period in winter, should be done diligent watering and moisturizing, especially in the growth period after March every year, the flowering period, and the high temperature period from July to September, should increase the number of watering, it is best to ensure that the watering is about twice a day, and the autumn and winter can be appropriately watered. It should be noted that the tap water used to water the flowers is best stored with utensils for one to two days before being used to water the flowers.

3. Light: Rhododendron breeding process should ensure that its light is sufficient at any time, because the light is sufficient to bloom well, of course, the hot summer can not be taken out to expose to the sun, but should strengthen the work of shading, in order to prevent sunburn, in addition, in the flowering season should also be properly done to protect the forest, can be protected by light blocking nets, and the flowering period can not be exposed to the sun.

4. Fertilization: Proper fertilization can make rhododendron breeding grow thicker and faster, and most indoor flower farming, the fertilization principle of rhododendron is also thin fertilizer and more application, that is, a little less at a time, you can apply more times. During the old leaves turning green, flowering, and after flowering, fertilize two or three times appropriately, and do not fertilize during the hot weather.

Rhododendron cultivation and fertilization can be used grass juice water, fishy water, rapeseed cake and other materials. In addition, if a diseased branch is found, it should be pruned in time to prevent it from affecting the healthy growth of other branches.

Rhododendron is a neutral flower that prefers warm, semi-shaded, cool, ventilated, and moist environments. It is required to be loose, fertile, humus-rich acidic (loess) soil, with a pH value between to, and avoid alkaline or clayey soil. The suitable growth temperature is 12 to 25, in summer to shade the sun and protect from the sun, in winter to prevent freezing and keep warm, it is best to move indoors, especially the more delicate rhododendrons such as Western rhododendrons, more attention should be paid to maintenance.

1 The rhododendron's roots are as thin as a hair, and the thick taproots are few, and it is afraid of both dryness and moisture, especially heavy fat. If you water too much, the roots will be soaked in water, too dry, the branches and leaves will shrink, and the leaf petals will fall off, which is a great threat to the plant, and as for watering heavy fertilizer, it will be life-threatening.

2 After the flowering, the residual flowers must be cut off to avoid fruiting and consuming nutrients, and after the new branches germinate, the branches should be properly thinned and left according to the growth of the plant.

3 Rhododendron is best planted in muddy pots, because the mud pots absorb water and breathe, which is conducive to the growth and development of the root system and the flourishing branches and leaves.

4 Potted azaleas should be placed on the southeast balcony carefully, and should be ventilated and moved as little as possible. If it is not ventilated, it is susceptible to black spot disease and a large number of leaf litter.

5 The cuckoo should also have moderate light requirements, and avoid direct light in summer. Fertilization should be mastered thin fertilizer diligently, can be light, and apply organic compound fertilizer on the potting soil once a month. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate was sprayed every 10 days for extra-root fertilization.

Water at the right time, and you can also add vinegar to the water to increase acidity.

6. Thin the buds and leaves in time, remove part of the flower buds and leaves that have grown too much and too dense, so that the air can circulate and the nutrients will be concentrated in the flower buds. After the flower buds are formed, it is necessary to increase the nutrients and apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in an appropriate amount, otherwise the flower buds will be transformed into leaf buds.

7 The main reasons for the loss of leaves and non-flowering of azaleas are: too strong direct light in summer, severe cold and frostbite, too much watering, too much fertilization, too long time indoors, placed in a dark and damp place with poor air circulation, drenched acid rain, etc., so these situations should be avoided during the maintenance process.

8. Turning over the pot and changing the soil, do not need to be carried out every year, generally once every 2 to 3 years, try to damage the roots as little as possible, and the time should be after the flowering or autumn, and at the same time spray Tobuzin to prevent diseases.

9 The insect pests of rhododendrons are mainly red spiders, aphids, etc., which can be sprayed with pyrethroid, etc., and the effect is better, such as not dying after three days, spray again. The disease is mainly melanoma, which is caused by a stuffy environment and lack of light, and measures can be taken to promote air circulation on the one hand, and spray Bordeaux liquid and carbendazim on the other hand.

10 The main method of propagation of azaleas is cuttings. Before and after the selection of new branches, 5 cm to 10 cm long, cut at the fork point, peel off the lower leaves, leave 3 to 4 top leaves, insert 1 3 of the branches into the soil, spray enough water, cover with plastic film. Usually to strengthen management, transplant after one year.
