When does the rhododendron bloom?

1. Its flowering period

This plant comes in many varieties, and different varieties have different flowering periods. Some varieties bloom early, as early as October. Some varieties bloom late and are able to bloom during the Spring Festival. The flowers of these varieties will be different, and the colder the weather, the brighter the color will be. Regardless of the variety, they can continue to bloom until April or May of the following year. It can be seen from this that its flowering stage is very long, lasting nearly half a year.

2. Relevant points to note

(1) Location: If this plant is to bloom, it must have light. However, it cannot be illuminated by direct light. Therefore, its placement is very important. We can place it where it can receive diffuse light. In this way, its needs can be met without causing any harm.

(2) Temperature: Ensuring appropriate temperature is also very important for its flowering. From the above introduction, we can find that its flowering period is when the temperature is relatively low, so it makes it more important to regulate the temperature. Specifically, it is most suitable to keep the temperature around 20 degrees.

(3) Fertilizer: This aspect directly affects the quantity and quality of flowers. Before flowering, it is more beneficial to apply some fertilizer containing P element. Add it about once every ten days or so, for a total of four times. However, once the flowers have bloomed, they need to be stopped immediately. After flowering, you need to apply fertilizer containing N. This is done to replenish the nutrients consumed.
