Cultivation method of tubular Rhododendron

Soil

Rhododendron most avoid alkaline soil, and choose acidic soil with good permeability and rich humus. If cultivated with alkaline soil, it will lead to poor plant growth and death in serious cases

Illumination

Tube Rhododendron likes light but is afraid of hot sun exposure, and likes ventilation but is afraid of strong wind. When planting and maintaining indoors, it should be placed in a sunny and ventilated place as far as possible, and the ambient temperature should be kept between 18-22

Watering

Rhododendron tubulosa likes wet soil. Indoor pot soil is often wet but not dry. Watering should be strictly controlled. If the young leaves are slightly wilted, it indicates that the basin soil is short of water. At this time, spray water on the leaf surface first, and then water the root. In winter, we should mainly spray water, supplemented by watering

Fertilization

In order to maintain the acidity of the soil, some alum fertilizer water should be applied appropriately at ordinary times, or a small amount of ferrous sulfate can be added to the water. When changing pots for plants, an appropriate amount of slow-release fertilizer can be added

Precautions for Rhododendron culture

The watering of Rhododendron is different in four seasons. The soil is dry in winter and wet in summer. Plants grow vigorously in spring and autumn. Watering should be sufficient but not excessive

If the Rhododendron is watered with tap water, it's best to dry it for a day or two. If the soil is not dry, it should not be watered. It should be watered thoroughly as soon as it is watered< span>
