Breeding methods and precautions of Rhododendron edulis

1. Soil

Rhododendron likes fertile, well-drained soil, which can be mixed with peat soil, leaf mold, sand and perlite.

2. Watering

You don't need to water the Rhododendron too much, generally once a week is enough. Be sure to water it thoroughly and do not allow water to accumulate, otherwise the roots will easily rot. In winter, you must reduce the amount of watering and wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering again.

3. Temperature

It needs to be given a growing environment of 20-30℃, and the temperature in winter must not be lower than 5℃. If the temperature is too low, it will suffer from frost damage, causing leaf fall or even death.

4. Lighting

It likes sunlight, so you need to give it sufficient light every day. If the light is too weak, it will affect its growth and may not bloom. In winter, you should place it in a place with good light and sunshine, otherwise it will fall leaves.

5. Notes

Pruning: It grows very fast, so it needs to be pruned appropriately. You can cut it into the shape you like. This will not only reduce the consumption of nutrients, but also make it more ornamental.
