1、 Environment

Rhododendron glandularis is suitable for cool and humid environment. The appropriate temperature for growth is between 12 ~ 25 ℃. If the temperature is too high or even more than 30 ℃, the cuckoo will sleep in summer. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the sun protection of cuckoo when the temperature is too high in summer

2、 Soil

Rhododendron glandularis likes acidic soil with good fertility, looseness, air permeability and drainage. If it needs to be planted in the north, because there are many alkaline soils in the north, it is necessary to mix the soil with humus soil with pine needle leaves. You can also cut watermelon or tomatoes into small pieces and put them into the soil, which has a very good effect on improving the quality of flowers and soil. It should be noted that a single clay and alkaline soil cannot be used

3、 Flowering period

The flowering period of Rhododendron glandularis can be controlled by itself. If you want the azalea to blossom in advance, you can move the azalea to the greenhouse for culture. The temperature should be controlled between 20-25 ° C, and the branches and leaves of Rhododendron should be sprayed with water from time to time. It will bloom in about 45 days. If you want to delay the flowering time of Rhododendron glandularis, put the Rhododendron with flower buds in a low-temperature environment, keep the temperature at 2-4 ° C, and put it outdoors in summer and autumn festivals, and it can bloom in two weeks

4、 Watering

It is best to water the azalea with rainwater or river water. If you use the tap water in the water pipe, pour the water into the container and place it for about 2 days, so that the chlorine in the water can be released. When it grows vigorously, water it once every 7-10 days. Adding a little ferrous sulfate to the water can ensure the acidity of the soil

When breeding cuckoo, you should pay attention to that you don't need to change the pot and turn the soil every year. You can change it once every 2-3 years. Because the root system of Rhododendron glandularis is thin, it can reduce the damage of root whiskers

We should also pay attention to the prevention of diseases and insect pests of azalea glandularis. We can spray pyrethroids and other pests to prevent red spiders, aphids and other pests. The effect is better. If we still don't die after spraying for three days, we should spray again
