2、 Growth environment

Rhododendron likes to grow in a relatively cool environment and is afraid of hot weather. Therefore, it is best to keep the temperature at 12-25 ℃ during breeding. It likes a humid growth environment. It should be watered in time and ensure indoor ventilation. The ventilation problem can be ignored when raising it outdoors. However, in outdoor breeding, we should pay attention to shading. Relatively speaking, the semi shady environment is more suitable for its growth, so shading must be carried out especially in summer
