When to plant azalea in the garden?
The azalea is an evergreen plant that blooms in spring. However, during the winter it remains at rest, which is why it should not be pruned or manipulated much, otherwise we could harm it. If we want to have it in the garden, it is very important that we take this into account, and choose the best time to extract it from the pot and plant it in the ground.
What moment will that be? Just before it resumes its growthsomething that will happen when temperatures begin to rise above 15ºC. In the Northern Hemisphere, in temperate climates, it is usually around March / early April.
How to have it beautiful?
In order to enjoy it, it is convenient that, when removing it from the pot, do not manipulate the roots too much.. The ideal is to make the hole, in an area where direct sunlight does not reach it, remove it from its container, plant it and water it, as quickly as possible. But, so that no problems arise we must first make sure that the soil we have in the garden has a low pH, between 4 and 6, because if it is taller, its leaves will soon turn yellow due to the lack of nutrients. Likewise, the irrigation water must also be acidic, for the same reason.
Thus, we can have some very beautiful azaleas .
