Azalea is a beautiful and vibrant plant for your garden. Knowing the rules of care, colorful flowers will delight you for decades. In the article we will talk about the main mistakes in caring for azalea.
Cold climate
Azalea grows in warm, sunny places. Do not choose a plant if you live in a cold climate.
Detailed information about each variety can be obtained from the manufacturer or consultant in the store.
Wrong place for a plant
For planting azaleas, choose a place where there is no scorching sun or deep shade.
If there is too little sun, the plant will not bloom.
For landing, look for a place with partial shade. That plant will grow and bloom.
Wrong soil
Azalea prefers moist, nutritious and drained soil with a pH of 5-6.
Do not plant the plant in clay and alkaline soil.
Too high humidity
Azaleas need to be watered regularly, but the plant does not tolerate too wet soil.
Make sure the soil has time to dry before the next watering.
Pruning too late
Azaleas should be pruned immediately after the first bloom.
Pruning stimulates the growth and flowering of the shrub in the future. In addition, pruning keeps the shape and compactness of the plant.
In addition, grow azalea outdoors and do not use containers.
By avoiding these mistakes, the azalea will grow, bloom and brighten your garden with vibrant colors.
