How to grow Yunjin Rhododendron bonsai (things to note when planting Yunjin Rhododendron)

Introduction: Blue sky and white clouds, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and pleasant scenery are beautiful words that make people yearn for it. While we are pursuing material life, we also need to improve our spiritual pursuits. Raising some beautiful flowers in a beautiful environment can be said to be one of the joys of life. Today I will tell you how to care for Yunjin Rhododendron.

1. The soil of Yunjin Rhododendron

Yunjin Rhododendron can also survive at high altitudes, so its vitality is relatively strong. It has strong adaptability to soil and can survive even in alkaline soil. But this does not mean that it has no requirements on the soil. At least loose and fertile soil must be ensured.

2. Appropriate amount of fertilization

Although Rhododendron azalea can survive in alkaline soil, this does not mean that it likes alkalinity. In fact, Rhododendron azalea prefers acidic soil and has relatively high nutrient requirements.

In addition to normal fertilization, we can also configure some loose and fertile soil ourselves. Collect a part of the leaf mold soil, add an appropriate amount of peels, dead leaves or other nutrient-rich materials, add an appropriate amount of water, mix evenly and then seal and ferment. It will not take long to produce nutrient soil.

The fertilization of Yunjin Rhododendron is also relatively easy to master. Phosphorus fertilizer needs to be added before flowering. After flowering, in addition to phosphorus fertilizer, some nitrogen fertilizer must be added. Now is the hot summer, the temperature is high, and the growth momentum of Yunjin Rhododendron has slowed down. It is not recommended to add nutrients to it at this time. Of course, it is not recommended to fertilize it in winter when the temperature is relatively low.

3. Proper watering

On the basis of reasonable fertilization, we also need to water appropriately. We all know that fertilizer dissolves in water and is absorbed and utilized by the roots. If watered improperly, the effectiveness of the fertilizer will be reduced and even disappear with the water.

Too little watering will not meet the needs of Rhododendron azalea. Similarly, if the soil is dry, fertilizer will not be easily dissolved. Excessive watering can easily lead to root rot, and fertilizer can easily dissolve in the water and run away along the drainage holes. Therefore, watering needs to be controlled to a certain degree. The weather is hot now, so you should water less at this time. If the flower soil is not too dry, you don’t need to water.

The climate in some places is relatively dry in summer, or turning on the air conditioner indoors for a long time causes the air to dry. We can spray water around the rhododendrons to increase the humidity of the environment, which will also help reduce the ambient temperature. In addition to strong sunshine in summer, there is also relatively abundant rain. We can find a clean container and collect an appropriate amount of rainwater to water the rhododendron on rainy days. The effect is also very good.

4. Pay attention to the acid-base balance

Rhododendron azalea prefers acidic soil. When the alkalinity is high, you can add some tomato aqueous solution appropriately. Tomatoes are rich in organic acids. When used to irrigate the soil, it can make the soil slightly acidic and reduce the PH value of the flower soil, which is beneficial to the growth and development of the rhododendron and will make it more beautiful when it blooms.

The tomato aqueous solution has a high concentration and needs to be diluted with water when used. In addition to tomato aqueous solutions, there are many aqueous solutions that make the soil slightly acidic, such as vinegar aqueous solutions.

When the Yunjin Rhododendron blooms, the flowers are large and colorful. If they are maintained on the wall, they will form a flower wall when they bloom, exuding a rich fragrance and attracting passers-by.

Flower lovers should pay attention to the above four points when caring for Yunjin azaleas, and the results will be great!
