1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: MOUNTAIN RHODODENDRON is suitable for growing in a cool environment. The fastest growth is between 15 degrees and 20 degrees. Too high temperature is not conducive to its growth. If you want to delay flowering, you can reduce the temperature to 2 to 4 degrees when the plant flower buds appear and keep them in a low temperature state. This will have a very obvious effect

2. Watering: a large amount of water is needed during the growth period in summer, and the water will evaporate quickly in high temperature weather. At this time, it is necessary to supplement the water in time. At the same time, the humidity in the air should also meet the standard. The water evaporated by the leaves can be supplemented by spraying. The soil should always be kept wet, and enough water will have a good growth trend

3. Light: normal growth needs to provide sufficient and warm sunshine. If the light is sufficient, the flowering will be better and the color will be more bright. However, it cannot be directly placed outdoors to receive strong light, otherwise it will be sunburned and withered. If you breed outdoors in summer, you can shade it with a sunshade cloth to ensure that its normal growth is not affected

4. Fertilization: the growth of Rhododendron in mountain cultivation needs to keep the soil fertile. However, it is necessary to apply thin fertilizer frequently. Do not apply too much fertilizer each time. It can be applied many times. Phosphorus fertilizer can be applied once during flowering, and nitrogen phosphorus compound fertilizer can be applied once or twice after flowering

2、 Breeding skills

1. Propagation: cutting is the main way of propagation. The best time is between May and June every year. Select branches of about 5 cm to 8 cm to cut. The temperature should also be kept between 20 ℃ and 25 ℃, and often spray water mist to promote growth

2. Pruning: the Rhododendron should be properly pruned during its growth, so as to ensure the germination of new branches and cut off some residual flowers in time, which is conducive to the next flowering and reduce nutrient loss

3、 Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: leaf swelling disease will occur. This disease will lead to uneven branches and leaves of the plant, which can be controlled with Bordeaux solution

2. Insect pests: the crown net bug will appear. Both larvae and adults will affect the growth and development of mountain Rhododendron. At the same time, some unknown liquid will be left on the branches and leaves, which can be controlled by spraying Omethoate solution

4、 Other issues

1. Toxicity: no poison, it is a kind of medicine with good effect

2. Whether it can be raised at home: Yes, its flowers are highly ornamental, but the windows should be opened for ventilation in summer< a>
