Cuckoo breeding method

Azalea is a deciduous shrub of the Ericaceae family. It generally uses three propagation methods: cutting propagation, division propagation and sowing propagation. When planting, acidic soil is generally used. It prefers a cool and humid growing environment. For it, the most suitable growth temperature is between 12-25 degrees.

Watering method

Azalea needs to be watered every 2-3 days in spring and autumn, and once a day in summer. Try to keep the soil moist at ordinary times.

Fertilization method

In the spring, azalea needs to be applied with some organic fertilizer as base fertilizer. After flowering in April and May, top dressing is needed every 15 days, and the last fertilizer needs to be applied in autumn.

Pruning methods

When caring for azalea, some diseased and weak branches need to be cut off to provide it with a good ventilation environment, which is more conducive to its growth. During the bud stage, the buds need to be picked in time to concentrate nutrients.

Precautions for breeding cuckoo

When raising azaleas, you need to pay attention to the fact that if the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, you need to provide appropriate shade, otherwise it will be in a semi-dormant state. In addition, you need to keep warm in winter to avoid frostbite and affect its growth.
