How to care for四季 tea flowers at home
If you want to learn about the home care methods for 四季 tea flowers and the maintenance strategy of green plant care, the following will guide you through the information.
Caring for杜鹃 tea flowers with some "skills" can make them bloom四季, with large and colorful flowers that are loved by everyone.
四季杜鹃 tea flowers are a variety of tea flowers that can bloom throughout the year, but they require a temperature of above 15 degrees Celsius for maintenance, as they are a type of flower from the south. Therefore, low temperatures are not suitable. If you are raising them in the north, do not let them overwinter outdoors; instead, place them in an indoor environment with a suitable temperature to ensure normal growth and blooming.杜鹃 tea flowers have leaves similar in shape to azaleas and have a very strong blooming ability. They are commonly found in the market and in homes. How should we care for杜鹃 tea flowers to ensure they bloom throughout the year without any problems?
四季杜鹃 tea flowers prefer plenty of sunlight, so we must ensure they receive adequate lighting. Compared to other tea flowers, they have stricter requirements for sunlight. During maintenance, they can be exposed to half-day sunlight but should be protected from midday sun exposure. Providing sunlight before 11 a.m. and after 1 or 2 p.m. ensures their leaves are not sunburned, the leaf color is deep, and they do not exhibit leggy growth without blooming.
Fertilization is also crucial because they bloom continuously throughout the year. As new side buds grow to a certain height and gradually age, flower buds will appear from the top, which is a characteristic of their blooming and the reason why they bloom throughout the year. Therefore, when choosing fertilizer, avoid using only phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, as this can result in blooming only once or twice, with no nutrient supply in later stages, leading to no growth of branches and no development of flower buds. Choose fertilizers with high phosphorus and potassium content, as well as other elements, and supplement them 2 to 3 times a month during the growing season without affecting the growth of side buds to ensure continuous blooming.
Watering frequency also needs to be managed well. In indoor environments with poor ventilation, water the plant when the potting mix is half-dry or almost dry. Avoid frequent watering to prevent waterlogging and root rot. The prerequisite for maintenance is that the soil must be breathable and well-draining, which is essential for any plant. I usually use a mix of nutrient-rich soil and river sand in a 1:1 ratio, which is breathable, well-draining, and nutrient-rich. Occasionally, I add a little pine needle soil to increase soil acidity, as they prefer acidic soil. If you don't add pine needles to the soil, you should regularly water the plant with a solution of ferrous sulfate once a month to prevent the soil from becoming alkaline and causing yellowing leaves.
杜鹃 tea flowers are very easy to care for, capable of blooming and growing throughout the year as long as the temperature is maintained between 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. However, ensure proper ventilation, adequate sunlight, and well-draining soil. Choose fertilizers high in phosphorus and potassium. After blooming, promptly remove the spent flowers, and trim long branches to encourage the rapid growth of side buds. As the side buds age, flower buds will appear at the top, ensuring continuous blooming, growth, and no problems.
