The normal flowering period of azaleas is usually between April and June. If we take good care of them during the flowering period, the azaleas will last for about a month, colorful and gorgeous; If you don't take good care of it, the azaleas can only bloom for a week or two, and then gradually wither and turn to color, so you must take good care of them when they bloom, so as to ensure the flowers flourish.
There are many kinds of rhododendrons with different habits. Planting in different areas has different flowering periods. Rhododendron is usually cultivated in the open field, so its flowering period is from March to May. Rhododendrons growing in high altitude areas usually bloom in July-August because of the low temperature; In the north, azaleas cultivated in greenhouses can bloom in1~ February.
Cultivation techniques:
Rhododendron is a shade-loving plant, and direct sunlight is not good for its growth. Therefore, it is best to choose a shady place, or take this into account when designing greening, and deliberately arrange trees in a special garden.
Rhododendron likes acidic soil with good drainage, but because all kinds of gardens and landscapes use cement as roads and pavements, the soil in Rhododendron planting area is alkaline, so it is necessary to replace the soil in planting area and add a certain amount of peat soil.
Rhododendron is most suitable for planting in early spring or late autumn. If it is planted in other seasons, a shade shed must be built. When planting, the roots and soil must be uniform, but not too tight, and the soil surface near the roots is in an arc state, which can not only protect the shallow roots of plants from freezing damage, but also facilitate drainage.
