Azalea mollis I like the article

Light Azalea mollisPosizione mezza ombra
Locate this plant in a partially shady place, where it can take in the solar rays during the coolest hours of the day. To prevent damage caused by the cold temperatures, during the months with definately harsh minimum temperatures, we can protect the shrubs by covering the soil around the stem with straw or dry leaves.We advise cultivating the the Azalea mollis outdoors, since it doesn't fear cold temperatures.

Cultivation Azalea mollis
These plants give origin to a brush with a rounded form. The Azalea mollis is medium in size and 3 m in height; in the spring it assumes a yellow colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. The Azalea mollis has a shrub- like development.

Fertilize Azalea mollis
Shrubs develop new shoots and prepare their flowers during the spring period, therefore we must remember, by the end of the winter, to give it a good dose of humus or mature manure, or granular slow release fertilizer, to be added to the soil at the foot of the plant. During the spring we can choose a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium, to mix with the irrigating water, every 20-25 days.

Water Azalea mollisTenere Umido
Let's wet abundantly with about 1-2 buckets of water , acting when the soil is pretty dry; during this period of the year we can water even every 2-3 weeks . If we want to grow these plants in a vase, we should water them a bit more often, compared to plants cultivated in the ground; Every 2-3 years we should renew the substratum in the vase, or enrich with organic amender.

Pests Azalea mollis
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Mold Azalea mollis
Let’s grow the the Azalea mollis in a specific soil for acidophilic plants, which slightly withholds moisture.
