Now it has entered the cold winter, and many people are asking what kind of flowers can be cultivated in winter. In fact, there are many that can be cultivated, such as蟹爪兰 (Disocactus ackermannii), 长寿花 (Kaffir lily), 朱顶红 (Hippeastrum), etc., but most of these flowers bloom only once a season. Therefore, today, the Home Flower Encyclopedia will share another type of potted plant that is beautiful and easy to care for and can bloom for three seasons a year: the Belgian azalea.
Azaleas are already widely available in the market at this time, but what we see in the flower market is the common azalea, which only blooms in early spring every year, and the rest of the time, we enjoy its leaves. However, the Belgian azalea is very worth cultivating because its flowers are very beautiful and bloom at least three times a year.
There are two common colors of Belgian azaleas, one is red, and the other is white with pink edges. The Home Flower Encyclopedia prefers the latter because this bicolor bloom is really super beautiful. So if you are growing flowers, it is recommended to grow a pot of bicolor ones.
Azaleas are relatively easy to care for. In the process of maintenance, we only need to remember one point to make them grow very well, and that is watering. Azaleas have very lush capillary roots, which are very sensitive to water. Too much or too little water is not good. It is best to keep the potting soil slightly moist.

However, because the root system is particularly lush, it is easy to leak water along the pot wall when watering. Therefore, it is best to adopt the method of submerging the pot when watering, soak the flower pot in a basin of water for about 10 minutes, which can completely saturate the soil in the pot. Then take it out and place it in a saucer.
In addition to the most important water, maintaining appropriate scattered light and applying a water-soluble fertilizer once a month can make it grow very well and have three seasons of blooming in spring, autumn, and winter.
