III. How to plant rhododendron?

1. Watering: Rhododendron should be watered frequently to maintain moisture except during the winter dormant period, especially during the growing period, flowering period and high-temperature period. It is best to ensure watering twice a day. In autumn and winter, watering can be appropriately reduced. Tap water is best stored in a container for one to two days before being used to water the flowers.

2. Light: Rhododendron must receive sufficient light. Only with sufficient light can it bloom well. However, in the hot summer, it must not be put outside for direct exposure. Instead, shading should be strengthened to prevent sun damage. In addition, during the flowering season, a shade net can be used for protection, because it also cannot be exposed to direct sunlight during the flowering period.

3. Fertilizing: Like most indoor flower cultivation, the fertilizing principle for rhododendron is also light fertilizer applied frequently, that is, apply a little less at a time and apply it more times. When old leaves turn green, during the flowering period, and after flowering, apply fertilizer appropriately two to three times. Do not fertilize during hot high-temperature periods.

4. Temperature: Rhododendron grows most vigorously at around 20°C, stops growing and enters a dormant state above 30°C, and will freeze to death if kept below 0°C for a long time. In winter, heat preservation measures must be taken, and a temperature above 15°C is best.

5. Pest control: The pests of rhododendron include Corythucha ciliata, aphids, etc. When there are few and they are visible to the naked eye, they can be wiped off with a wet cloth strip. When there are many and the pest damage is serious, insecticide liquid should be purchased from a pharmacy for effective control, and attention should be paid to placing the rhododendron pot in a ventilated position with good light.
