The concept of azalea is actually bigger than azalea, which belongs to a kind of azalea. Only wild azaleas can be regarded as azaleas. When the wild rhododendron was in bloom, the mountains and plains were all red, and the mountains were all red. This is probably the name of Yingshanhong.
In addition, even wild azaleas have different colors, such as wild azaleas, but this kind can't be called azaleas. Only red wild azaleas can be regarded as azaleas. Mastering these two points, flower friends will not be confused if they encounter this situation again in the future.
Pruning of azaleas
1. After flowering, if it is not pruned in time, it will consume a lot of plant nutrients, especially in the late flowering period, the flowers will basically lose their ornamental value, but the nutrient consumption of the plants will be even greater.
2. The flower surface of Yingshanhong has certain stickiness and poor self-cleaning. That is to say, after the flowers are in full bloom, it is difficult to fall naturally, but they will adhere to the branches and leaves, which will rot easily in a humid environment and eventually lead to the decay of the branches and leaves.
3. According to the growth characteristics of Yingshanhong, when pruning residual flowers, just cut off the receptacle, and two or four lateral branches will grow at the base of the receptacle, which will make the plant grow fuller. When pruning, it is necessary to determine the cut-off part of the branch according to the growth of the plant, so as to promote the germination of new branches at the lower bud point and change the overall shape of the plant.
