What should be paid attention to when potting rhododendrons

Generally, every spring to turn over the pot to change the soil, remove the pot soil, choose acidic nutrient soil, the pot soil should be soft, permeable, good water retention, rich in humus acidic sandy loam soil, each pot with cake fertilizer and bone meal. Don't hurt the roots when changing pots, and usually turn the soil less. After changing the pot, put it in a ventilated and semi-shaded place and water thoroughly.

Rhododendron repotting time: Repotting can be carried out in spring and autumn. With the growth of 2-3 years to change the pot, if not change the pot for a long time, the root system of the plant will be limited, there is no way to ensure the later growth, the nutrients in the loam will be consumed, you can change the pot to ensure growth.

It is best to choose the time in early spring or late autumn, when the climate is more suitable for the recovery and growth of the root system. It is also a good time to repot after the flowers bloom and fail, which can be conducive to growth.

Rhododendron repotting:

1. Choose a pot. Rhododendron pot selection should be based on the size of the plant to choose the right pot, to the mud pot is better, the general pot diameter (inner diameter) should not exceed half of the crown diameter.

2. Soil selection. When using the soil, it is best to prepare according to the soil quality of the rhododendron mound, and the plants cultivated with pine hair soil in the past should still choose pine hair soil, which can be mixed with a small amount of decomposed horse manure and bone meal, and the pine hair soil will be infiltrated with water in advance when used; It is cultivated in mountain soil, and mountain soil is also used.

3. Depotting. Put the azalea potted plant downside down, step on it with both feet, and use the strength of your body to separate the soil and pots; After depotting, cut off the roots of the coiled soil ball; Soil is added to the new pot, and then the plant is planted with soil balls.

4. Put on the basin. When potting, first use 2 tiles to build a "in" shape to cover the drainage hole, cover a layer of coarse sand as a drainage layer, and then gently cut off the soil of the plant 1 3 old soil and rotten roots, sprinkle a layer of culture soil on the drainage layer, and then put the plant in the pot, keep a distance of about 3 cm between the mound and the pot wall, and then fill the prepared culture soil into the gap around it, gently press it with a thin stick, let the pot soil and the root develop, and finally water thoroughly, put it in a semi-shaded place, and transfer to normal management after half a month.

Rhododendron maintenance can be potted by environmental factors, budding treatment.

1. Environmental factors: light: although light is indispensable.

However, this plant is very afraid of bright light. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, it is not advisable to place it in the direction of the south, and it is better to place it in the east, west, and north directions. However, if you want to burst the pot, it is necessary to keep the light every day, and it is advisable to keep it for three to four hours.

Moisture: The general principle of "wetting but not wetting" has already been mentioned above, which is a very appropriate generalization. Specifically, you can water it a little every day to promote it to burst.

However, it is important not to accumulate water. Otherwise, the whole plant will be damaged, and it is unlikely that it will continue to blow up the macropot. Also, considering that the plant is more acidic, then you can add a few drops of vinegar to the water to be watered.

Fertilizer: There are not too many requirements for the type, and it is advisable to use animal manure, which is more natural and harmless. As for the number of times, it doesn't need to be too much, and more will be counterproductive. Twice a month is fine, which is very helpful for its bursting.

Temperature: Needless to say, of course, it has to be in the right state. It blooms in a relatively cold time, so temperature is extremely important. For this plant, it is enough to keep it at around twenty-four degrees.

2. Budding treatment: This plant germinates very quickly, and you can pick buds every two days. Newborn buds can grow quickly. In this way, it can be prompted to burst.

Rhododendron introduced

Rhododendron is an evergreen shrub and deciduous shrub of the genus Dicotyledons, Rhododendron Family, and Rhododendron genus. It is also known as Yingshan red and mountain pomegranate. According to legend, there were cuckoo birds in ancient times, crying day and night and coughing up blood, dyeing red flowers all over the mountain, hence the name.

Rhododendron generally blooms in spring, with 2-6 flowers per cluster, and the corolla is funnel-shaped, with red, light red, apricot red, snow blue, white, etc., and the flower color is lush and gorgeous.

Rhododendron can not be repotted in winter, because the growth rate of azaleas in winter is slower, at this time repotting can not guarantee that the plant can return to normal growth, it is best to repot in spring or autumn, and at the same time need to choose the right soil when repotting the plant, it is best to use sandy loam soil rich in organic matter to replace.

1. You can't change the pot

Rhododendron can not be repotted in winter, because the growth rate of azalea in winter is slow, the plant can not grow normally, and it is difficult to restore normal growth in winter, so it can not be repotted for the rhododendron wreath in winter, generally for the rhododendron to change the pot, you need to choose the time period when the plant grows more rapidly, so you can change the pot in spring or autumn.

2. Change the potting soil

Rhododendron is suitable for growing in nutrient-rich and loose-brow soil, so it is necessary to use sandy loam soil with rich organic matter content and good drainage when repotting rhododendrons, and in order to make the plant better adapt to the environment, you can also mix an appropriate amount of original soil in the soil.

3. Trim properly

When repotting the rhododendron, the plant needs to be pruned properly, first of all, the rhododendron needs to be dug out of the soil, the roots of the plant are rinsed with water, the roots of the plant can not grow normally, and the branches of the plant that grow poorly are cut off, so as to save nutrients for the plant and make it better adapt to the environment.

4. How to change pots

When changing pots, you can directly plant azaleas in the prepared soil, and water the soil with an appropriate amount of water to keep the soil in a moist state, and at the same time also need to provide a better environment for the plants, it is best to put the plants in a cool and ventilated environment to maintain, so that the plants can adapt to the environment as soon as possible.

After changing the pot, it is generally no problem to water thoroughly in the shade, you change two pots and one pot is no problem, indicating that you are right, the biggest possibility of that pot is to hurt the roots, put it in the shade and water enough, but the water is accumulated, after a period of time, there should be no problem.

In a domestic environment, azaleas are best potted. It is advisable to pot in early spring or late autumn. Rhododendron root expansion is slow, l 2-year-old should use 3-inch pots, 3 4-year years should use 4-inch pots, change pots every 3 5 years, and trim the root system at the same time.

Watering should be flexibly mastered according to the specific situation. Pour less when the temperature is low; When it is high, it should be watered as it dries, but it must not accumulate water. Fertilization, to do thin fertilizer diligent.

For 2 4-year-old seedlings, in order to accelerate the formation of plants, new branches are often promoted by topping and budding; After the plant is formed, the diseased branches, weak branches and overlapping and disordered branches are mainly pruned, and thinning is the main way.

Potting soil requirements: Rhododendron prefers loose, permeable, well-drained, humus-rich acidic soils with a pH value - clay or alkaline soils are difficult to survive.

In particular, summer cuckoos and cuckoos must be in the mountains. The mountain soil also needs to be modified, and at present, 3 types of culture soil are usually used. (1) 7 parts of mountain soil, 1 part of dry moss and grass clippings, 2 parts of dry humus soil, and 1 part of dry fertilizer are mixed and prepared.

2) 3 parts of mountain soil (topsoil), 3 parts of horse manure, 3 parts of deciduous weeds, and 1 part of human manure and urine are stacked in layers, and sieved after 1-2 years for later use. (3) Mix 3 parts of mountain soil, 3 parts of humus soil, 4 parts of garden soil and 2 parts of sandy soil, and add 50 grams of sesame paste residue and bone meal to each pot.

Raising rhododendrons, you can use clay pots to raise, although the clay pots are not very beautiful, but particularly practical, raise some flowers with less developed root systems, clay pots are very good, water seeps out after watering, through this pot, you can see the dry and wet situation of the pot soil.

The temperature is too high in summer, there will be a certain difficulty in raising rhododendrons, the flower shop is now dealing with rhododendrons, I also bought another pot of azaleas in the flower shop, I bought double happiness, I first came with two flowers very beautiful, many of the newly bought rhododendrons are maintained with this black nutrition bowl, the azalea has finished flowering, and I want to change it again.

The root system of the rhododendron is a particularly fine capillary root, just like a hair, its root system is particularly underdeveloped, so the soil used requires loose and air permeability is particularly good, the root system of the rhododendron is not developed, it is particularly afraid of stagnant water, once the root system of water will be damaged, and then gradually rotten roots, the rhododendron will appear dry leaves and defoliation.

Therefore, its soil is particularly important, this soil is made of humus that I dug myself, and then I mixed it with pine needle soil that I made. This kind of soil is slightly acidic, and I used about 30% of the proportion of pine needle soil, <>

Because the rhododendron likes slightly acidic soil, it is a representative of acid-loving plants, and then mixed with some river sand, because river sand can play a role in permeability, when blending, to add a little white medicine to it, this is used to prevent insects, the pot I use a particularly good air permeability of the clay pot, the bottom of the clay pot has a bottom hole, with broken tiles to pad it.

In summer, rhododendron is more afraid of heat and grows slowly, you can add some slow-release fertilizer to water thoroughly after changing the pot to let its roots quickly pot, it is best to add some rooting agent to the water, and then add some carbendazim to it to prevent its root system from rotting.

Because the rhododendron is particularly prone to root rot, put it in a cool and ventilated place, preferably in a place with a lot of moisture, and create a humid and well-ventilated place at home, so that it can spend the summer easily.

It is not recommended to repot azaleas in summer, because the temperature is very high in summer, so repotting azaleas can easily lead to death.

It is possible to change the pot. However, potted azaleas under two years cannot be repotted. Why?

Because the root system of potted azaleas under two years is young and tender, not yet sound and underdeveloped, the root system is easy to tear and break when changing pots, and the root system is seriously damaged.

It's best to repot the azaleas this season, and wait if you miss it.
