It is suitable for growing under the scattered light with weak light, and can't stand too strong sunlight. If the light is too strong, it may cause the young leaves to be burned, and in serious cases, it will cause the plants to die. Therefore, it can be maintained under the soft light everyday. In summer, pay attention to block the sunlight.
Rhododendron likes acid soil. The pH value is between 4.5-5.5, which is the most suitable. It should be loose and drained, and alkaline soil should not be used. When it is cultivated at home, rotten leaf soil, peat soil and sand can be mixed according to the ratio of 5:2:3, and a proper amount of bone powder should be added.
In the process of growth, the most suitable temperature is 12-25 ℃, it is difficult to grow normally at low and high temperature, and generally it can only withstand the low temperature below 10 ℃. If the temperature is over 35 ℃ in summer, the plant will be in dormancy stage, and the growth will stagnate.
According to the specific situation of growth, the number and quantity of watering should be scientifically formulated, and the principle of "watering through" should be ensured. Avoid the situation that only wet the surface and the root does not absorb water, and do not apply too much water, otherwise it will easily lead to rotten root.
Its root is relatively shallow, so it can only apply light fertilizer properly, and avoid using thick fertilizer.
