It's already August, and beginning of autumn has passed. Autumn is an important period for flower bud differentiation of Ardisia azalea. So how to maintain it, so that Yingshanhong can bloom more and more beautifully? Briefly talk about my opinion and have a brief exchange with my friends!
First, if you want to bloom more azaleas, you should slowly increase the time to see the light after autumn.
We know that Rhododendron Ardisia is more shade-tolerant, but it prefers mild sunshine. After the autumn, the weather is getting colder, and the illumination time of rhododendron should be slightly extended, so that it can be basked until eight or nine in the morning and then bathed after four or five in the afternoon. By extending the sunshine time and enhancing the photosynthesis of Ardisia japonica, more nutrients can be accumulated for flowering, which can be said to be a necessary condition for Ardisia japonica to bloom.
Of course, although the emphasis is on seeing the light, the autumn tiger is still very strong at noon and the temperature is still very high. I suggest you learn to shade at noon to avoid sunburn.
The second is to properly fertilize and water reasonably.
After autumn, it's already cold in the morning and evening. Our azaleas dare not fertilize all summer. At this time, we can properly use some fertilizer for azaleas. If beginning of autumn has just passed, we should use a little thin and decomposed liquid fertilizer to wake the azalea and tell it that it is time to grow and differentiate its flower buds.
As the temperature decreases slowly, the amount of fertilizer can be increased slowly. Fertilization types should be decomposed organic fertilizer and dilute phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. At this time, it is forbidden to apply nitrogen fertilizer to avoid excessive growth of nutrients, affecting growth and adversely affecting flower bud differentiation. Of course, you can also spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate mixed with a little acid, which will make the leaves flourish and the flowers more beautiful. )
Of course, we should pay attention to the combination of fertilization and reasonable watering, and the temperature is still slightly higher in autumn. Keeping the soil slightly dry and controlling the water slightly can promote the early stage of flower bud differentiation and improve the quality of flower bud differentiation. Don't pour too much water, which is not only bad for flower bud differentiation, but also may cause root rot. )
Third, learn to increase air humidity, ventilation and cooling.
Azalea prefers the humidity of the air, and coolness is her favorite. After beginning of autumn, it would be best if she could put it in the shade outside. It is best to sprinkle some water on the ground often, which can not only increase the air humidity, but also cool down. These are all azaleas' favorite foods, which are also beneficial to flower bud differentiation.
If it is maintained indoors, it is often difficult to get out of the state because of poor humidity and inappropriate temperature. If you are a friend who maintains Yingshanhong indoors, it is best to open the window for ventilation. It is best to put the azalea on the flower stand and put a pot under it, so that not only the leaves look good, but also the flower buds differentiate smoothly.
Fourth, learn to change pots and trim.
After the autumn in October, azaleas will be full of buds. In order to make azaleas more beautiful, they can be pruned in different seasons. This period of time does not mean that all azaleas should be changed, but refers to azaleas that have been placed in pots for two or three years, and the soil nutrients have been exhausted or have been slightly alkalized. This time, one-third of the soil can be removed, and the upper layer and sides can be removed. When releasing pots, some humus soil and some decomposed organic fertilizer can be used as base fertilizer.
Combined with changing pots, it can be slightly trimmed. This time, plastic surgery is the main method, which can remove diseased branches, cross branches and branches that are not conducive to modeling. By the way, thinning the over-dense flower buds can reduce the useless nutrient consumption, which is beneficial to the pot and flowering. If it is a bonsai of Yingshanhong, root treatment can also be carried out at this time.
After a few days of shading, if the leaves do not shrink, they can be managed slowly and normally.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) abstract
Yingshanhong is not too afraid of cold. Proper low temperature can transform vegetative growth into reproductive growth. If the temperature of potted Ardisia rhododendron has not dropped to three or four degrees, don't rush indoors. Proper sports will make it more beautiful. This is where Ardisia rhododendron is more beautiful than Rhododendron. After reasonable maintenance, azaleas will grow more beautifully and bloom more beautifully in the coming year.
