Azalea is not afraid of drafts

Who is not heard about the capricious character of Azali. I have this plant lives for many years, and we managed to take care of each other. I want to share my notes of naturalist. First, I often carrying the room with azalia, she loves fresh air and coolness and, by the way, in contrast to many other plants, not afraid of drafts! On the windowsill, where she stands, light, but not hot, I have this eastern window, but you can keep on the west and in the north. I make the soil for Azali on my own. This is a coniferous land (from the forest), peat and sand (2: 1: 1). Though all advise in winter, Azalia does not touch, I still will feed it in winter and in the fall, truth, rarely, 7 times in 2 weeks.

In the evening, after watering, I make a weak solution of liquid flower fertilizer and breaking the flower slightly. Azalea loves acidic soils, so sometimes watering it with acidified water (2 g of citric V acid per 1 liter of water).

To protect the plant from pests, every 10-12 days I treat leaflet burgundy liquid (1 %). After Azalia is flashing, dried up, and cut the shoots. I do it until March 25. Summer shoots regularly pinch so that the bustice does not stretch. At the end of the autumn I am looking for azaliya place so much and keep it until the end of November - the beginning of December. The leaves of Azaleas are not falling for the winter. At the end of December I will bring to heat: that the plant bloats, he needs a temperature of 18-20. " At this time, I start Azalia to wake and often spray.
