Rhododendron , also known as Azero Red , is known as " Flowers Xishi ". There are many varieties of azalea , including spring sapling , summer sapling western azalea and other categories. It is one of the most well-known flower varieties in the world. The cuckoo is beautiful, but the maintenance is not low, and even some old-fashioned friends will "fall out".
It is autumn now, and it is the season for azaleas to be launched again. Many flower lovers reported that the leaves of the azaleas they bought home often occur and their condition is always bad. Today I will analyze the reasons for removing leaves and share a few solutions.
How to deal with the newly repotted rhododendron
Some flower lovers said that the rhododendron that they just bought home, had problems with leaves and buds falling a few days later. This situation is mainly related to the soil of the flower pot.
Most of the azaleas sold on the flower market now have flower buds. If you buy such azaleas home, you cannot rush to change the pot and soil. Azaleas belong to shallow roots, and its roots are all hairy roots as thin as hair. No matter how careful you are, it will more or less damage the root system when changing pots. Azalea that damages the roots will have a reduced ability to absorb water and nutrients. For self-protection, it will discard some leaves and buds, causing problems such as leaves and pots to fall off.
solves
The flower market just bought azalea with flower buds. Don’t rush to change the pot immediately. You have to wait until the flowers bloom and then change them. Be careful when you are in the flower pot, and try to keep the soil mass wrapped in tight roots. The soil mass on the root system is called "heart protection soil", which has a protective effect on the root system and cannot be easily dispersed.
Too much watering causes leaves to fall
Sometimes, the leaves of azaleas that have been growing for a long time will also fall. In this case, we can carefully observe the blades and see what is causing it. If the fallen leaves are dry leaves, most of the leaves are cyan and not yellow; watering them has been diligent recently, so the pot soil has been in a wet state. Then it is likely that the root system will be rotten too much watering and the soil is too wet.
One trick to solve the problem of
Leaves falling due to excessive watering, stop watering the azalea immediately, place the flower pot in a well-ventilated scattered light, and air circulation can speed up the evaporation of water in the flower pot and quickly dry the root system. You can water the soil in the flower pot after it is dry, but the watering frequency must be controlled and the time between watering is extended.
Leaf loss caused by insufficient fertilizer
If you have not used fertilizer for azalea for a long time, the fallen leaves will turn yellow, the whole plant grows poorly, and the new leaves will have a light color. Then it is highly likely that the plants lack nutrients, and plants reduce nutrient consumption by losing leaves.
One solution to
If the azalea is in the flowering period, fertilizing must take care of both the leaves and the flowers. It is recommended to use balanced nutrient solution, such as Huaduoduo No. 1, all-purpose plant nutrient solution, organic fertilizer solution, etc.; if the flowering period has passed, and the azalea leaves are lost due to lack of nutrition, it is recommended to choose nutrient solution with high nitrogen content, such as Huaduoduo No. 10, leaf-viewing plant nutrient solution, urea , etc. Cuckoos do not like thick fertilizer. Each time they use, they must strictly mix clean water in accordance with the minimum concentration ratio of the instructions, stir thoroughly and then water it to the roots. Use it 2 to 3 times a month.
