The variety of Rhododendron Maying is actually Rhododendron Maying from the northeast, which is mainly distributed in the northeast (Daxinganling), Inner Mongolia (Xilin Gol League, Manzhouli) and the eastern mountainous areas of Liaoning, and belongs to a relatively cold-resistant variety.
There is a method of freeze-drying to preserve branches. If you want them to bloom, take them out and put them in a vase filled with water, and then the brilliant flowers will bloom, especially in the cold winter.
Now basically all flower markets sell them, one in 20 yuan or so. After buying it, put it in a vase, the water temperature is 10- 15 degrees, and change the water every 2-3 days. At the same time, a small amount of nutrient solution can be supplemented, which can basically bloom in a week or so, but it is difficult to take root, and it will not bloom again after opening, so many flower friends find it difficult to take root.
This paper is mainly aimed at the popular science of rhododendron. It takes about 3 minutes to read the full text. I hope you can finish reading this article before you want to buy azaleas, and I hope you can join us and refuse azaleas after reading it.
After winter, many people exposed the "spectacle" of dead azaleas blooming in the circle of friends and Weibo.
Before flowering, it is a dry branch. As long as you soak in water for a week, you can produce bright purple flowers. The shortest flowering period is 15 days, and the longest is more than 30 days.
"Dead wood meets spring", "Dead wood blooms" and "a ray of scorching sun in winter" are its selling points. If you don't want to bloom, put it in the refrigerator, and the dead branches will bloom in water without any technology.
So amazing, what is the principle? Many people bought wild azaleas out of curiosity without knowing the truth. Are you tempted, too
Before more people buy wild azaleas, I want to tell you something about it.
Can dead wood really blossom?
The so-called "dead trees blossom" is just a gimmick of the merchants. Those dead branches themselves are alive, just dormant.
Before the leaves fall in winter, the flower buds have differentiated. If you put them in water, they will bloom as long as the temperature is right.
This is no different from other plants that shed their leaves in autumn and winter and bloom again the next spring. This is a normal natural phenomenon.
Why is the price so cheap?
Rhododendron drynaria, which spreads so magically, is very cheap. When a treasure is searched, the price is hardly higher than that of 20 yuan, and 40 pieces can buy a large bunch. The price of physical flower shops is not high either, about thirty or forty.
Why are the dry branches of azaleas beautiful and easy to maintain, and can be kept fresh in the refrigerator, but they are much cheaper than other pruning on the market?
Because it has no breeding cost, villagers use local materials and dig them into the mountains to sell them directly.
Who is the wild cuckoo?
Rhododendron drynaria sold in the market is a wild Rhododendron Hinggan from the northeast mountainous area, and there is no artificial cultivation at present.
Rhododendron Xing 'an is a semi-evergreen shrub of Rhododendron in Ericaceae, also known as Dazixiang and Dadaxiang, which is called Jindalai in Korean.
The plant is 0.5-2 meters high, with many branches and thin and curved young branches.
Corolla is broadly funnel-shaped, pink or purplish red,
The flowering period is May-June, and the fruiting period is July.
Rhododendron is a native tree species distributed in Daxing 'anling and Xiaoxing 'anling in three northeastern provinces, Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia and Manzhouli.
It generally grows in mountainous areas with higher altitude. Every April and May, when the snow and ice on the mountain have not melted, the red azaleas in Xing 'an bloom.
When the flowers bloom, there are colorful flowers all over the mountains, which are especially beautiful. "Rhododendron Sea" is a unique and striking local landscape. Rhododendron in Xing 'an is not afraid of snow and ice to bloom proudly, but is afraid of excessive logging by human beings.
After cutting and harvesting, the recovery is very slow, only one year is 10 cm long, and it takes several years to regrow the dead branches that can be mined. If uprooted, the damage is even more devastating.
More and more people around us are beginning to resist wild azaleas, but there are still some in the market.
This spring, Huzhong District, Daxinganling, Heilongjiang Province issued the Notice on Prohibiting the Collection and Sale of Rhododendron Xing 'an, hoping to put an end to the felling of wild Rhododendron as soon as possible with the gradual improvement of relevant laws and regulations.
No buying and selling, no killing,
Many people have realized the first point,
Set an example and call on people around you to protect Rhododendron Xing 'an.
We wrote this manuscript,
I also hope that "a gentleman loves flowers and takes them properly."
Although everyone likes plants,
It also gives nature more space.
