When does the spring azalea bloom?
Today, the editor will introduce the blooming time of spring azalea and the related introduction of green plant flowers, such as the flowering period of azaleas in all seasons. Let's get to know more about it together.
Rhododendron, also known as spring azalea, blooms in April and May of spring, usually with single-petal flowers. Common rhododendron refers to the downhill stake, which is a very common type of azalea. It flowers before growing leaves and can grow into a盆景 old stake if well cared for. The flowers are full of branches, very bright and beautiful. Rhododendron is relatively cold-resistant and can survive outdoors in winter as long as the temperature does not drop below zero. If the temperature is too low, it is necessary to pay attention to keeping the potted rhododendron in a sunny and warm place. How to keep the potted rhododendron safe in winter for more and larger and brighter flowers in the spring?
In winter, pay attention to 4 points to make the rhododendron bloom full of branches in spring, with large and bright flowers and a long flowering period.
Points to consider for rhododendron to survive winter.
First, keep warm and prevent cold according to the temperature.
In the north, if the temperature is below minus ten degrees, the potted rhododendron should be kept in a warm place indoors in winter. If the temperature is only around zero, the rhododendron can be placed outdoors, on a terrace, or for maintenance, as it has a certain cold resistance.
Second, ensure good lighting and ventilation.
Rhododendron kept indoors needs to maintain sufficient lighting and some ventilation. Watering should not be excessive, and the soil should be slightly dry. However, if the indoor temperature is high and the air is dry, we should spray water to increase the humidity.
Third, do not移植 or change the potting soil for the rhododendron during its winter dormancy period.
Because during the winter, it is in a semi-dormant state. If the roots are damaged during the potting process, it will be difficult to recover, and it may even affect its survival. Also, when we移植 the pot, we must be careful to protect its root system and plant it with some original soil.

Fourth, fertilize appropriately.
If the temperature is not particularly low, we can give the rhododendron a little fertilizer, such as phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, or ordinary organic fertilizer, a thin fertilizer, which can help it accumulate more nutrients, facilitate the differentiation and growth of flower buds, and encourage it to bloom more and brighter flowers in spring.
When watering, be careful not to overwater, but the soil should not be too dry for a long time. Using rainwater to water rhododendron is very good. In the north, using melted snow to water rhododendron is also very good. In winter, when the temperature is relatively low, it is necessary to strictly control watering to avoid root rot.
About two months before the rhododendron blooms, apply some fertilizer to supplement phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizer, applying two thin fertilizers. This encourages larger flowers, brighter colors, and thicker petals, and a longer flowering period. Remember these four points for rhododendron to survive winter: large flowers, bright colors, blooming hundreds of flowers, extremely beautiful!
