Azalea is not considered a beauty with character. It was not immediately submitted to a person: three hundred years ago, when one Dutch scientist first brought his fallen flower to his homeland for the first time, Azalia died. After a hundred years, another scientist again tried to tame a plant. And again unsuccessful! Only at the beginning XIX. A century, an excellent copy of Azalea, brought from India, took root in the London Botanical Garden. From him and went a huge number of hybrids and the varieties we admire and soy. In China and Japan (the birthplace of the plant), this flower is revered as a symbol of a long and successful life, and in Europe firmly believe that the plant brings happiness to the house. How to care for him?
The soil
Azalea, like all plants of the family of heers, need acidic soil. Ideally, this is a mixture of coniferous or heather earth with peat and large sand.
It is curious that the peat substrate in which imported imported
plants for azaleas is well suited - there is an exception to the rule. If you are going to buy the ground in the store, ask the ground for kislolyubivyh plants.
Dishes
In azaleas superficial root system. So, buy the low pot and wide. When transplanting not bury the root neck. If you do not know where it is, just do not put plants in depth (see how it grew in the previous pot). Azalea roots are sometimes mistaken for peat particles, so they are thin, so they do not need to spread. If you damage the root ball, the plant will be sore for a long time. Simply passes the plant in another pot, and the gap between the back and the wall of the drive in the ground. Transplant should be 1 every 2-3 years, but better - even rarer. Lest the land dwindled, often feed the plants.
Watering
Peat soil dries very quickly, and the water azalea likes, so watering - the most important and delicate part of the care of plants. That depends on him the success of the azalea growing.
Water should always be soft, melt or at least to defend, and in any case, not the ice.
Tip: Keep the plant clean, is the key to health. Time remove the dried leaves and flowers - usually simple, but mandatory.
If desiccate, azalea straightaway react - resets buds and leaves. Humidity soil particularly strictly necessary to support before and during flowering. In the peat there is one feature: if anyone overdry peat, then soak then it is very difficult, the water will roll off him and run down the side of the pot. Therefore, you need to regularly water the azaleas and abundant! Option "each day, little by little "is not appropriate. In this case, only the upper layer humidified peat, roots and the bottom will stay dry. Moreover check it out impossible.
Remember:
Azalea does not apply to plants that can retain moistureAnd then otpoit. Its roots could hardly recover. Very good for azaleas method of watering by immersion. Lower azalea pot in a basin of water.
Important:
Unlike many other plants, azaleas during the flowering season can be rotated and transfer. But after the flowering plant should be returned to its original location and the position in which it was before flowering.
Trimming
Trim azaleas need to be sure. First, to plant formed as many tops as possible (flower kidneys are formed on them). And secondly, it is necessary to do this in a timely manner - if you are late, the tops will be much, but the kidney on them will not have time to lay. Cut down ruthless shoots, then the bush grows compact. In addition, it will be easier to care. The pruning starts from May, they remove all weak and, on the contrary, the stalks strongly, especially those that are addressed inside the room. What a lucker bush, the weaker flowering. Young shoots pinch, leaving on them 4-5 leaves. If you saw young shoots near the flower kidneys, be sure to pull them out.
Podcord
The soil in which azalea is growing is very fast. Peat not only in itself is poor on minerals, but also be badly kept. Salts quickly wash away. Therefore, feeding is necessary. In winter, when Azalea is at rest, it is not necessary to fertilize them. But at the end or after flowering, with the beginning of the growth of new shoots 2 times a month, you need feeding.
Choose floral fertilizers in which there are no chlorine-containing salts. Weak urea solution can be sprayed into leaves.
During the laying of flower kidney (July-August) a plant necessary more phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen at this time do not feed, otherwise there will be an excessive amount of fast-growing shoots around the buds. There will be no color on them anyway, it is better to remove such shoots, otherwise they will be pulled out most of the power. The leaves of healthy azaleas should be glossy, dark green with a metal tump.
Reproduction
The easiest way to buy a plant (or ask you to give it). Methods are more complicated: Seeding seeds, shilling or vaccination.
The first complex is suitable only for flower-proof professionals.
Shining is easier, but considerable excerpt: only after a year and a half, or even later, you will get a small plant.
From one plant you can cut a lot of cuttings at once, so the way reliable. Cut the cuttings from January-February, but better from March to June. Too rough shoots may not be rooted, but too young - die, choose the average option. The cuttings are cut, you can hold their day in special solutions - growth stimulants, and then plant vertically to a depth of 1-2.5 cm. The best soil is the same peat or coniferous earth.
As for vaccinations, the own roots of Azaleas are safer thanks, so this method is little effective.
Azalea on shtambe
In strong stalk cut off all side gains And thus make the main stem (and this is the future stack) stretch. In order for the svolik not to be deflected in any direction, the plant periodically turn 180 °. And then you need to gain patience and wait. As they grow, leave a few strong branches of the crown and make sure that none of them is higher than the other.
