Fertilization after winter is one of the most important care treatments in the early spring. The plant needs a solid dose of hydration and necessary nutrients for flowering. Soft water is the best for watering the azalea. You can use rainwater, water from the pond or well. You need to maintain constant moisture of the substrate. Drying causes wilting and premature falling of the leaves, as well as weaker flowering.
I pour into the water and water the flowers in March. Azaleas bloom profusely in spring
The first flowers usually appear in April and enjoy the eyes until June. Azaleas, which grow in full sun, bloom more abundantly than in the shade, but then require abundant and more frequent watering. It should also be remembered that a completely shaded place is inappropriate for Azalia, the plant may not bloom and will die quickly. Given that they are plants from the heather family, they require acidic light soil for proper development. Therefore, a good way to water Azalia is the addition of coffee coffee grounds. We measure ten tablespoons of dried coffee grounds, boil them in five liters of water. Then we cool it all and water the plants with this mixture once a week. Coffee coffee grounds slightly acidify the soil, and also contain the necessary for flowering and proper growth nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. To improve flowering and thicken the bush even more, it can be cut in early spring. At the turn of March and April, we remove about 20 percent. old shoots, and the rest of the ropes are shortened by 1/5 length.
