Fertilizer amount: the requirement of Rhododendron lily on soil quality is not high. If the pH value is high in the north, a little bit of mature coniferous soil can be added into the soil. The fertilizer should not be too thick. After the flowers fall, the fertilizer mainly consists of nitrogen and phosphorus should be used for 1-2 times. Water volume: the northern climate is relatively dry. After the basin is dry, it should be watered. During the high temperature period, spray should also be carried out, and the water should be controlled during the dormancy and winter. Light: make sure enough light, don't expose to the sun.

Growth habits

The flower originally lived in a high altitude place, so it would like a humid and cool growth environment. Generally, plants would like soil with a slightly lower pH. although the flower is no exception, its alkali resistance is better, and the pH can grow between 7-8. The flowering time is basically from March to may, but if you want to prune, you have to catch up before May, so as not to affect the flowering.

Maintenance Management

The amount of fertilizer

As mentioned above, they do not have high requirements for soil quality, but if they are planted in the north, they must pay attention to pH. if they are high, they can be mixed with a little bit of mature coniferous soil. Because the root of this kind of flower is relatively thin, so the requirement of the density and dilution of fertilizer and the quality of water is relatively high

P fertilizer is needed to promote the growth of flower bud when it is not blooming in spring. During the flowering period, no fertilizer is used. After the flower falls, the fertilizer mainly consisting of nitrogen and phosphorus can be used for 1-2 times. By September to October, it's the critical period of pregnancy, so we need to use P fertilizer 1-2 times. But in winter or summer these two dormant seasons, you can control the amount of fertilizer

Water volume

The north climate is relatively dry, watering spray should be timely. But when it comes to dormancy, we must control the amount of water. If not, it is easy to rot. If there is time to collect rainwater, it can also be watered. The natural nutrients in the rainwater are good for the growth of plants. When the soil pH is not up to the standard, you can choose to cut some persimmon or vinegar, but it must be appropriate, or it will make the pH too low.
