How to care for azaleas in the north? I am a northerner, living in Hebei, and have been engaged in gardening in Beijing for many years. Based on the subject's picture of azalea, let me analyze this pot of azalea for the subject:
1. The autumn in the north is very good now, which is the second peak period of plant growth. This plant has many new leaves, labeled 1. The overall green leaves are over 80%. The plant is currently in good condition and is in the growing stage.
2. There are some dry and dead leaves, marked 2. In order to increase the ornamental value of the plants, save plant nutrients and avoid inducing diseases, we need to manually clean up these dry leaves and throw them into outdoor trash cans. After cleaning, spray the fungicides Amicida, Seco or thiophanate methyl on the leaves three times in a row, and root irrigation at the same time. Pay attention to spraying once a month from now on, prevention is better than cure.
3. Summer in the north is hot and dry, and after rain it is hot and humid again. In hot and dry weather, pay attention to spraying and humidifying the leaves. Rhododendron likes a warm and humid environment very much. When the temperature is high and the humidity is high, pay attention to watering the pot soil less and not spraying it.
In rainy weather, water as little as possible as the plants can absorb moisture from the air. By the way, the azalea in question was caused by insufficient indoor light, poor ventilation, and water accumulation in the soil.
4. Now the subject needs to loosen the surface soil of the pot soil, and try to put some plant ash and furnace ash on the surface, which can absorb moisture, increase potassium fertilizer, and improve the soil.
5. Now in autumn, add some ternary fertilizer or flower-viewing nutrient solution. Apply thin fertilizer frequently. Go to the flower market to buy it. Rhododendron likes acidity. Special nutrient solution, PH value and EC value have been The ratio is good and various trace elements are added, making it worry-free to use.
The new leaves grow quickly and will soon cover up these old leaves, showing full of vitality. The plant is fine and repotting is not recommended. If you are worried about soil problems, it is recommended to use some microbial inoculants or soil conditioners and pour them with water to improve the soil.
If the soil is changed and transplanted, the seedling slowing period is about half a month to 20 days, and the plants have no time to grow. Autumn in the north is very short. You can combine it with changing to a larger flower pot next spring and changing it to loose and breathable peat soil.
6. In winter, northern households use heating. Please stay away from radiators and raise flower pots for floor heating. It is very important to moisturize plants in winter. You can spray more in the morning and evening. Do not spray at night or at noon.
