1. Four differences between Rhododendron and Rhododendron in the west 1, and different places of origin
Let's talk about the origin of these two rhododendrons first. Rhododendron occidentalis originated in Belgium, so it also has a name called Belgian Rhododendron. However, it is easy to buy Rhododendron occidentalis in the north of China, while most of the rhododendrons bought in the south are ordinary rhododendrons, which is the difference between Rhododendron occidentalis and Rhododendron.
2, the shape difference
In addition, the appearance of western rhododendron and common rhododendron is also very different. The height of rhododendron in the west is between one and two meters, but its branches are very rare, which is different from ordinary rhododendron. Although they are about the same height, the branches of common azaleas are very lush and plump.
3. Leaf shape
Their leaves are more different. The leaves of rhododendron in the west are thicker, and the colors are very rich and deep, while the leaves of common rhododendron are thinner and lighter than the former, but the luster of common rhododendron is very good, but the leaves of rhododendron in the west are more shaped, which is the best way to distinguish rhododendron from rhododendron in the west.
4. flowering time
The last difference between western azaleas and common azaleas is the flowering time. Rhododendron in the west blooms in April and May, but it has double petals, while Rhododendron in general blooms in April with small, numerous and dense petals, which are still composed of single petals and tube petals. Moreover, the propagation mode of western rhododendron is only grafting, and ordinary rhododendron can be inserted. #p# Subtitle #e#
2. 1, which is better, western rhododendron or common rhododendron? Cultivation method of rhododendron occidentalis
West Rhododendron likes warm, humid, cool and ventilated environment, and its biggest feature is cold tolerance and fear of heat. Especially in the hot and humid environment, rhododendron is very easy to die, and it needs acidic soil, which is fertile, loose, rich in organic matter and has smooth drainage. In summer, direct sunlight is forbidden, and shading and frequent spraying are needed. Breeding should be carried out in early spring by grafting or cutting. Many people say that rhododendron is very popular.
2. A cultivation method of Rhododendron vulgaris
Ordinary azaleas like cool and humid climate and hate hot and dry. They are required to be rich in humus, loose and moist, and born in acidic soil. They are representative plants of acidic soil, and most of them are resistant to shade and temperature, and do not like being wet. If azaleas are just bought in summer, I suggest you put them in a place with high indoor humidity and relatively weak light, and then move them to a place with good light but no direct sunlight in a few days. If it is winter, it is recommended to put it in a sunny and high temperature place. Compared with azaleas, it is very easy to raise.
Third, the feng shui function of rhododendron 1, one of the feng shui functions: ward off evil spirits.
Many people think that rhododendron is an unlucky plant. In many poets' works, it represents the symbol of parting and sadness. But as a feng shui plant, its function is very good, because it can ward off evil spirits at home. If the home is facing the hospital, cemetery and the like, this kind of evil spirits can be put.
2. The meaning of flower language makes it a good feng shui plant.
There are many gorgeous sayings about it, including temperance, honesty, love and so on. These meanings make it a very good feng shui plant. It can be planted in the yard or in the office. It is best to choose crimson, pink or rose varieties. You can also put it in the square. Suitable varieties are purple or white, which can be placed in the center or on both sides.
Conclusion: Through the above introduction, I believe everyone knows the difference between western rhododendron and common rhododendron, and also knows the cultivation methods of two rhododendrons and the geomantic function of rhododendron. I hope everyone can choose their favorite plants as soon as possible and cultivate their favorite appearance.
