1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: Gaoyue cuckoo likes to be cool, which is between 15 and 20 degrees. It's not very heat-resistant, so it's best to adjust it when it's higher than 30 degrees, otherwise its leaves will be burned and its flowering will be affected. In addition, the temperature in winter is also above 10 degrees as far as possible

2. Light: Gaoyue Rhododendron likes light, but it is very afraid of strong light. Therefore, in summer and autumn, in case of too strong light, try to block it, or there are relatively large trees next to it. But don't be too dark during flowering

3. Watering: Gaoyue Rhododendron likes to be wet. If it is cultivated in a place with very little rain, it needs to replenish water to the substrate in time. In addition, it has to spray water often. Of course, it can't be too waterlogged. Ponding needs to be avoided

4. Fertilization: Gaoyue Rhododendron is afraid of thick fertilizer, so it is necessary to pay attention to dilution when applying fertilizer. The number of fertilization does not need to be too much. Generally, it is OK once or twice a month. Fertilizer before and after flowering is relatively important, especially phosphorus fertilizer

2、 Breeding skills

1. Propagation: cutting is the most commonly used method of propagation. It's appropriate to do it in May or June. Select semi lignified, newborn branches with a length of 5 to 8 cm as the material. It's best to cut off a part of the leaves before cutting. Moreover, the shading and the maintenance of temperature and humidity after cutting are also more important

2. Pruning: Gaoyue Rhododendron is very resistant to pruning, which is a very important step. Picking the heart before flowering can promote better flowering after flowering. At the end of autumn, that is, when it is fast dormant, all kinds of bad branches such as dead branches and bare branches need to be repaired

3、 Diagnosis and treatment problems

1. Disease: from May to August, the common disease is "brown spot", which can be sprayed with Triadimefon once every ten days. There will also be "coin disease", which can be prevented and treated with copper sulfate

2. Insect pests: the main category is "aphids", and they can also cause plants to infect other diseases, which need to be prevented in time. Carbofuran can be used for prevention and treatment

4、 Other issues

1. Toxicity: Gaoyue Rhododendron is non-toxic

2. Whether it can be raised at home: its main value is viewing, so it is very suitable to breed at home
