How to raise azalea seedlings and how to cultivate them to grow fast

1. Acidic soil

Azalea seedlings like to grow in acidic soil. If they grow in alkaline soil, it will affect their normal growth, causing their growth to be weak and their survival will become a problem. When growing azalea seedlings, you must provide loose acidic soil and maintain good drainage. You can mix the soil according to the actual situation. Suitable soil can promote rapid growth. Generally, azalea seedlings should be repotted once a year to provide new soil to maintain growth.

2. Reasonable exposure to light

Don’t rush to expose the azalea seedlings to light after they are planted. Let them grow slowly for a while. Once their growth is basically stable, they can be exposed to scattered light normally. Only by ensuring good lighting conditions can we synthesize enough nutrients to promote growth and promote the rapid development and growth of azaleas.

3. Proper watering

Its root system is relatively shallow and thin, so it is very sensitive to water requirements and cannot withstand drought or waterlogging. Generally, watering is done according to the method of watering when the soil is dry and watering when it is wet. Wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering to keep it moist. The climatic conditions in different seasons are different, so the frequency of watering is slightly different. During the growing season in spring and autumn, water every 2-3 days, and twice a day in summer.

4. Apply thin fertilizer frequently

Rhododendron likes fertilizer, but be careful to apply thin fertilizer frequently. During the growing period, you can water it with thin cake fertilizer water every 7-10 days. Only by providing sufficient nutrients can the azalea seedlings be promoted to grow as quickly as possible.
