Azalea blooming period: April to May. If you take good care of it during the flowering period, the azalea will continue to bloom for about a month, and it will be colorful and gorgeous. If you don't take care of it well, the azalea will only bloom for a week or two. , and then gradually wither and change color, so azaleas must be carefully cared for during the flowering period to ensure luxuriant flowers and leaves.

The buds should be picked in time during the budding period to ensure a concentrated supply of nutrients and promote large and colorful flowers. Pruning of branches is generally carried out in spring and autumn. Cut off crossing branches, overly dense branches, overlapping branches, diseased and weak branches, and remove residual flowers in time. The plastic surgery is based on the natural tree shape with slight artificial modification. You can do whatever you want, depending on the shape of the tree.

Pruning is an important measure in daily maintenance and management. It can regulate growth and development, thereby making growth vigorous. Routine pruning requires cutting off a few diseased branches and weak old branches, and removing some overly dense branches based on the crown shape to increase ventilation and light transmission, which is beneficial to plant growth.

Extended information:

In late winter and early spring every year, it is best to apply some organic fertilizer as base fertilizer to the azalea garden. After the rhododendron blooms from April to May, as the plant consumes a lot of nutrients during the flowering period, as the leaf buds sprout and the new shoots grow, fertilizer can be applied every 15 days or so.

After entering ambush, most of the branches have stopped growing. This is the high temperature season and physiological activities are weakened, so top dressing is no longer necessary. After autumn, the climate gradually becomes cooler, and there are continuous autumn rains from time to time. The temperature and humidity are suitable for the growth of rhododendrons. At this time, the last top dressing can be done. It is generally not suitable to fertilize after winter.

Reasonable fertilization is the key to raising rhododendrons well. They like fertilizer but avoid thick fertilizer. During the peak growth season in spring and autumn, apply a thin cake fertilizer liquid once every 10 days. You can use rice water, peels, vegetable leaves, etc. Made by fermentation.
