The Western Rhododendron hybridum has a special name, which is related to its origin. It is called Belgian Rhododendron hybridum. This also shows that it is the most important source. Generally speaking, we can easily buy Western azalea in the north, and common azalea in the south.
We should know that the former is relatively small, and its height is equivalent to that of an adult. In the range of one meter and two meters, the branches are relatively scattered. And the common azalea is not the same, although it is also very short, but relatively lush and plump.
The leaves are quite different. The thickness of the former is the best, and the color is also rich. The latter leaves are relatively thin and not dark in color. In addition, the number of hairs on the top of the former can be almost counted out, which is relatively dim. Although the latter has less hairs, its luster is obvious. In addition to this, the former leaves more shape, there are light leaves and long leaves, in addition to it has twisted leaves, the latter is relatively single
The former blooms in April and may and is double. The flower of the latter is very small. The flowering time is in April. It has many and dense flowers. Generally speaking, it is composed of single petals or tube petals. There are only a few double petals.
Because the former is more delicate, so we only provide it with grafting, and the common way we usually adopt is cutting.
