1. Basin soil

For pots, it is generally more appropriate to use earthen pots, and those with holes in the ground should be used, which will make the ventilation effect better. Because the root of Rhododendron is relatively shallow and grows very slowly, you can choose some smaller pots, so that it will not be wasted when watering and will be more conducive to its growth. The soil in the basin should choose some acid soil with loose texture and good drainage. When filling the basin soil, it should be noted that some coarse soil should be used below and some fine soil should be used above

2. Key points of watering

Rhododendron generally prefer wet places, not too dry. You can pour more water on it when it blooms. In winter, it has entered the period of dormancy, so it doesn't need a lot of water at this time. Generally, it's OK to operate every four to five days, and it's best to water it around noon on sunny and warm days. The specific amount of watering depends on the dryness of the soil in the basin. If possible, you can use the water received when it rains, or river water and pond water. If it is tap water, it is best to store the water for a day or two and use it. In the growing season, it is generally necessary to water it once a week

3. Fertilizer

Rhododendron likes to be fat. It usually uses some rotten fish meal and broad beans. After decay, it is watered with some water. Never use human urine and feces. Until its flower buds come out, it can be applied with thin fertilizer every 10 days or so. It can be applied 2 to 3 times in total, so that the child can promote the old leaves to turn green slowly and sprout new roots. After the flower falls, in order to make it better send out new branches and grow new leaves, fertilize it five to six times between May and July. If it rains continuously, a little dry fertilizer can be applied. In addition, when its growth is about to stop, just apply fertilizer once or twice
