New Products in Du Fu——Thermian Rhododendron

Rhododendron, commonly known as the heather rhododendron or tree-like rhododendron, has become one of the most sought-after potted plants in recent years. Originally introduced from countries like the Netherlands and Belgium, this variety stands out for its large, dense blooms that resemble a big floral ball when in full flower. Its luxurious appearance makes it ideal for indoor decoration, especially in public spaces such as halls, restaurants, and hotels. This evergreen shrub belongs to the azalea group and features a compact, bushy structure with multiple branches and a full crown. The leaves are usually elliptical or lance-shaped, glossy, and sometimes display golden stripes or edges. They are densely packed at the top of the branches and have a slightly lighter color with fine hairs. The inflorescence is umbrella-like, with flowers forming a cluster on each branch. When fully open, the flowers take on a bell shape, either single or double-petaled, and come in a wide range of colors including purple, red, pink, orange, white, yellow, and blue. Natural blooming occurs between March and May, but with proper care, flowering can be advanced to January or February, lasting up to a month per plant. Native to the alpine regions of southwestern China, Rhododendron thrives in cool, humid environments at altitudes ranging from 2,000 to 4,500 meters. It prefers temperatures between 15°C and 25°C and is not tolerant of drought, high heat, or waterlogged soil. After flowering, it's important to remove spent blooms and prune back branches to encourage new growth. Watering should follow the "do not do it, do it with pouring" principle—keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. In dry conditions, misting the plants and their surroundings can help maintain humidity. During hot summer months, temperatures above 30°C can hinder growth, and above 35°C may cause heat stress. To protect the plant, move it to a shaded, well-ventilated area and mist it if needed. Avoid overwatering during rainy seasons to prevent root rot. Once the weather cools down, resume regular watering and fertilizing, and increase light exposure. In winter, Rhododendron can tolerate temperatures as low as 0°C, but it's best to keep the temperature below 15°C to support healthy flower bud development. Repotting every 1 to 2 years is recommended, using a loose, acidic soil mix rich in organic matter, such as a combination of leaf mold, peat, and vermiculite. Ensure the pH level stays between 5.0 and 6.0. Propagation can be done through cuttings after flowering, or via tissue culture for large-scale production. When planting, avoid compacting the soil too much to ensure good aeration. Allow the roots to develop before pruning to encourage branching and a more compact shape. In high-humidity conditions, Rhododendron is prone to diseases like stem rot and brown spot. These can be controlled with fungicides like carbendazim or thiophanate-methyl. Iron deficiency or overly alkaline soil can also lead to yellowing; adding ferrous sulfate during watering can help. Insect pests such as spider mites and armyworms may appear in summer and autumn, and can be managed with insecticides like 40% omethoate diluted to 1000–1500 times. With proper care, this beautiful plant can thrive and bring vibrant color to any space.
