Azalea! - One of Rhododendron varieties
is there such an in general in nature?
Bagulin.
Rhododendron (Lat. Rhododendron) - genus of plants of the family of drowning. There are more than 600 species of rhododendron growing mainly in a moderate belt of the northern hemisphere. In Russia, in vivo, up to 18 species are found, mainly in the Caucasus, Siberia and the Far East.
It is a good early wounded honey. The bark and leaves are rich in tanning substances. Source: Rhododendron ...
In Ukraine, Rhododendron is growing in Polesie, whose name is Azalia Pontica. For the first time, he was opened in the mountains of the Caucasus, there he often forms solid thickets, sometimes occupies even weakly covered with the land of rocks. Then this plant was discovered in Asia Minor. The fact that he grows in Polesye, did not know even scientists for a long time. The local population gave the name to this plant - DiryaPastean (you want to check the correctness - try to go through the thickets of Rhododendron).

Rhododendron (Lat. Rhododendron) - genus of plants of the family of drowning. There are more than 600 species of rhododendron growing mainly in a moderate belt of the northern hemisphere. In Russia, in vivo, up to 18 species are found, mainly in the Caucasus, Siberia and the Far East.
Rhododendron is represented by shrubs or shrubs with evergreen or falling on the winter with leaves. Leaves are regular, solid.
Obroat flowers, with a large, slightly incorrect wedge of yellow, pink or purple-purple color, are collected in shield inflorescences, less often - single or two.
The fruit is a five-grated multiferous box, dropped from top to bottom.
Seeds are sticking, from 0, 5 to 2 mm in length.
Rhododendron is growing as singly, so groups and thickets, more often in the undergrowth, on the mountain slopes rises to the Alpine Mountain Belt. Also growing on the swamps, mary and in the tundra. Prefers unbelievable, wet, but well-drained soils without stagnant moisturizing. High humidity is required, a slight shading by trees and shrubs.
Rhododendron is growing slowly, especially in the first years. The root system is superficial, compact, from numerous urine roots. Propasses seeds, cuttings, gag and division.
It is a good early wounded honey. The bark and leaves are rich in tanning substances.
In the Russian Far East, 11 species and 2 forms of Rhododendron are growing:
Rhododendron Golden (Rhododendron Aureum Georgi)
Rhododendron Hypopitys Pojark.)
Rhododendron Brachycarpum D. Don)
Rhododendron melligent (Rhododendron Parvifolium Adam)
Rhododendron Adamsii Rehd.)
Rhododendron Pointed (rhododendron Mucronulatum Turcz.)
Rhododendron Dauricum L.)
Rhododendron Sometin (Rhododendron Sichotense Pojark.)
Rhododendron Tschonoskii Maxim.)
Rhododendron Schlippenbach (Rhododendron Schlippenbachii Maxim.)
Rhododendron Camchatsky (Rhododendron Camtschathicum Pall.)
Rhododendron Redowski (Rhododendron Redowskianum Maxim.)
Rhododendron Fories, Pink (Rhododendron Fauriei Franch.; Rhododendron Brachycarpum AUCT.)
Rank rhododendronov (Emphasis on the third syllable!) Great and diverse. It includes evergreen, nickered and leaf falling shrubs, shrubs, and sometimes trees. Translated from Greek rhododendron.- "pink tree". But to a rose from the family rhododendron from the family of herass, nothing has nothing. They are connected only by the beauty of flowering and a huge variety of species and varieties.
Before deciding to grow rhododendrons in its garden, it is necessary to understand the nature of these plants. And he is not easy, because their homeland is wet alpine areas predominantly northern hemisphere. They grow almost everywhere - from Greenland and Kamchatka to Java, from Alaska to Florida, from the Alps to the Caucasus and Himalayas. The smallest of them, climbing up to 4,000 meters above sea level, no more than 10 centimeters, however, we manage to carry forty-degree frosts. And the most powerful swelling to 10 meters in height. Their flowers collected in the same way in inflorescence, in diameter reach more than 20 centimeters.
It is clear that, like all sorts of hustras, Rhododendrons are proud and unchanged in preferences. And if you plan to plant them, they will not be adapted to you, but will resolutely dictate their conditions.
With proper agrotechnology, rhododendrons are sufficiently resistant to diseases and pests. Most often, the problems begin in unsuitable conditions for normal development and in non-compliance with the rules of cultivation.
Plants suffer from strong overvailing, unbalanced feeding, low acidity of soil, winter physiological drainage and sunburn. May be damaged by mushroom diseases (spots, rust) and chlorose (acute lack of iron and manganese, which occurs at low soil acidity and passes with proper feeder mode). Collecting and burning damaged foliage, conducting sanitary trimming and processing plants with suitable fungicides, many diseases can be resolved.
Rinodendrons damage most often garden snails and slugs (helps collect and destruction), Rhododendes, bugs, cobed tick, torment Cherver, weevils, shields, Rhododendrian flies that insecticides are well helped.
Rhododendrons are multiplied with seeds, cuttings (green and semi-deserted), grain, fission of bushes and vaccination.
Sliced \u200b\u200brhododendron flowers have been preserved for a very long time, and one inflorescence consisting of 20-30 flowers is completely able to replace a bouquet.
In ancient Greece, the name "Rododendron" called nothing with him with anything general oleander. In modern meaning, this word was first used by the Italian doctor and Botany Caesalpino in 1583, and it was one of the one-sole appearance - Rhododendron Rust.
The first serious attempt to systematization took Karl Linney in 1753, which described three evergreens and six deciduous species. Moreover, evergreens, he was attributed to the genus Rhododendron, and deciduous - to the genus Azali. In the future, this division was revised many times, and today the azaleas call only those rhododendrons that are grown in the closed soil - in room conditions, in greenhouses and winter gardens.
In more detail about the cultivation of rhododendrons, you can read in the books of M. Alexandrova "Rhododendrona" and I. Gorin "Journey to the country of Rhododendronov".
Rhododendron dense Rhododendron Impeditum)

Other mulch options, sour peat and coniferous opead, put directly to the ground. Sawdust, manure, leaves are not used. Periodically, the soil is acidified with special means: colloid gray, sulfuric acid solution. The acidification contributes to the fertilizer by superphosphate, sulfate potassium, sulfate ammonium. Using
- a completely winter-hardy view. Suitable for landing in small groups. To pick up trees.
The place for planting rhododendrons should be protected from winds and direct sunlight, without water stagnation and with an acidic soil reaction.
These plants feel well in reservoirs, where the air is moistened. Therefore, they are planted near the ponds and lakes, streams and pools. If there are no water nearby, evergreen rhododendrons before flowering once a week spray. But flowering plants Watering is undesirable, the bushes are better to water.

Rhododendron (rhododendron) is a representative of the heather's family. This genus is represented by shrubs and trees that are leafy, semi-repulsive and evergreen. According to various sources, this genus combines 800-1300 species, their number includes azaleas, which are very popular with flower water, they are still referred to as "Roododendron". The name of this plant includes 2 words: "rhodon", which is translated as "Rose" and "Dendron" - meaning "tree". In this regard, Rhododendron means "tree with roses" or "Pink Tree". The fact is that Azali flowers are externally similar to roses. IN wild conditions The greatest spread of Rhododendrons was obtained in the northern hemisphere (in South China, Himalayas, Southeast Asia, Japan and North America). They prefer to grow in the coastal zone of the seas, rivers and oceans, on the northern slopes of the mountains and in the half of the undergrowth. Separate types in height reach 0.3 m, while others are fluttering shrubs. Flowers of various types of this kind differ from each other not only by color, but also forms, as well as the value. For example, the largest flowers in the diameter can reach 0.2 m, while the smallest is just a tiny size. To date, approximately 3 thousand species, forms and varieties of garden rhododendron.
Garden rhododendron is a shrub. Different kinds They may differ from each other the magnitude and shape of sheet plates, which are two-year-old, annual and perennial, cherry or sedentary, shed, sawn or single-crushing, inversely or egg-shaped. This plant takes relatively very popular in all countries of the world due to its decorative foliage, as well as beautiful flowers that make up creeps or palate inflorescences that are similar on the amazing beauty of bouquets. Flowers can be painted in pink, purple, white, red or purple color. The form of flowers directly depends on the type and variety of the plant and is a funnel-shaped, tubular, bell and wheeled. Separate species have a pleasant smell. The fruit is a five-liter multiferous box, inside which are two-millionth seeds. The surface compact system of the roots of this culture consists of a large number of urine roots. Due to the fact that the root surface system, the Rhododendron transplant is rather light, and the plant transfers it well. This shrub is considered an excellent wounded honey.
In medium latles, it is recommended to cultivate only those types of rhododendron, which are distinguished by high frost resistance. You can land the plant in the open soil from April to the second half of May, and in September-November. Experienced gardeners They are engaged in landing Rhododendron throughout the entire period of vegetation except for the flowering time of such a shrub, and it is also impossible to do it for 7-15 days after flowering.
To land, you should choose a shaded area located on the northern side of the structure. The soil should be well drained, loose, contain a large amount of humus and be sour. If on the site, the depth of groundwater is less than 100 cm, then to land this shrub will have to make a raised bed. Rhododendron can be planted near such trees as oak, pine, larch, as their root system goes deep into. This shrub is not recommended to plant next to the chestnut, maple, elm, lime, alder, yawa, and a poplar, because their root systems are located on the same depth as Rhododendron, so the latter will lack the necessary number of nutrients and moisture. If Rhododendron still has to land next to one of the villas listed, then the landing pools will need to be protected by carved in the soil slate, rubberoid or polyethylene. The best neighbors for this culture is a pear and an apple tree.
Prepare a fossa for planting, so, its depth must be about 0.4 m, and the diameter is about 0.6 m. It is necessary to pour soil consisting of 3.5 driers of a loam (you can replace a pair of clay buckets), as well as 8 buckets of the upper peat. It should be mixed thoroughly. Then the soil should be attacked in the pit it is necessary to clean well. After that, they make a hole, the size of which should be equal to the magnitude of the root coma of the planting plant. Immediately before landing, the seedling must be immersed in a container filled with water. And it is necessary to pull it only after air bubbles will be stopped on the surface of the water. After that, the root system must be placed in the hole, which is filled with soil, it must be very good to compact, so that there is no emptiness. A seedling has a root neck must be on the same level with the surface of the site. Lached plants need abundant irrigation. If Rhododendron was planted in dry soil, then the richness of the irrigation should be such that the land of wet on the depth of 20 centimeters. Then the surface of the priority circle should be filled with a layer of mulch (oak leaves, pine leaves, peat or moss), while its thickness should be 50-60 mm. If there is a large number of boutons on a saplau, then some need to break, in this case, the plants will be aimed at rooting, and not on lush flowering.
If only one bush rhododendron is planted on the spacious plot, the wind is able to break a seedling. So that this does not happen, it is necessary to establish a support, while tilt it should be towards the direction most often of the current winds. Then the planted plant is tested to the support. After the plant arrives, the support can be removed if desired.
Rhododendron needs B. good care. It is necessary to spray it in a timely manner, water, feed, pour, produce forming trimming, as well as, if necessary, to protect against pests and diseases. Ruff or drop the surface of the soil under the bushes is impossible due to the surface location of the plant root system. We need to be carried out manually, it is categorically prohibited for these purposes.
This culture is especially important level of atmospheric and soil moisture compared to the rest. garden plantsMoreover, during the bootonization and flowering. Rhododendron is very important to water correctly, because it has a significant impact on the bookmark of flower kidney of the future season. Watering the plant is necessary exceptionally soft water (estimated or rain). Some gardeners soften, and also acidify the water is very simple, for this they are 24 hours before irrigation mix it with the upper peat, you need to take a few hands. As a state of sheet plates, it is possible to determine how often this shrub should be water. The plant needs watering if the foliage becomes matte and loses the tour. During watering, the Earth should be soaked at a depth of 20 to 30 centimeters. But when watering, it is also very important that in the soil the liquid does not cause themselves, since the root system is extremely negatively responding to it. With the cloth of water, Rhododendron behaves in the same way as with a lack of moisture, namely, the leafy plates are folded and lowered. To avoid the convergence, it is necessary to water the shrub in a dry hot period as always, but it must be quite often moistened from the sprayer using soft water for this.
Since bushes most often have from nature the right form, then there is no need for a strong formative trimming. As a rule, the plant needs trimming if the shrub became excessively high if the rejuvenating trimming is necessary or it is necessary to cut the stems damaged by frost.
What are the rules for trimming an adult shrub? Cutting the stems are produced in spring time, while you need to have time before the sludge will begin. Slices on branches, the thickness of which is from 20 to 40 mm, you must definitely dampen the garden. The awakening of sleeping kidneys on the stems begins after 4 weeks, at the same time there is the beginning of the update process, which lasts throughout the year. If the shrub is very damaged by frost or old, then it should be shortened to 0.3-0.4 meters, while in the first year they cut one half of the coat, and the next one - the second.
These plants have one very important feature. So, in one year, their flowering and fruiting is distinguished by their abundance, while the next - it is fruitful and blooms much more. However, this frequency can be corrected. For this, it is necessary after the flowering will end, break all the blurred inflorescences. In this case, all the preserved forces and nutrients shrub will send to the bookmark of the flower kidney of the future season.
Even shrubs planted in the current season are needed in the dressing. For the first time during the season, the plant is fed at the beginning of the spring period, while the last time - at the end of July, when the plant will flash, and the growth of young stems will begin. Specialists are recommended to use liquid fertilizers to feed this culture, which should include horny flour and semi-proverse cow manure. To prepare such a fertilizer, the manure should be connected to water in the ratio 1:15, then it must draw over for several days, only after that they can feed shrubs. Before you feed Rhododendron, it is necessary to pour it well.
Such plants need acidic soil, in connection with this, choose mineral fertilizers follows, which will not disturb the reaction of the medium. So, it is recommended to use superphosphate, phosphate, nitric acid and sulfate potassium, sulfate ammonium, sulfate calcium and magnesium, and take them in a weak concentration (1.2: 1000). And the solution of potash fertilizers should be even weaker.
Most often, on this shrub, milders of creeks, shields, pawnies, bugs, whils, rhododendron flies, and still slippers and snails are seized. When buchelogium appears on bushes, their collection should be done manually, and in preventive purposes, the plant is sprayed with mortar fungicidal preparation Tirama either TMTD (8%).
If rhododendrons settled rhododendron bugs, web mites or weevils, then it is necessary to spray it with a diazine. At the same time, when defeating weevils, not only the bush is processed, but also the surface of the earth is near it. In order to get rid of the rest of the pests, carbofos are used, while you need to follow the instructions in the instructions.
Most often, such a plant is sick with fungal diseases, for example: cancer, rust, chlorosis or spotted leaves. Most often, such diseases are developing as a result of insufficient aeration of the root system. With the damage to rust and spotting a bush, it is necessary to spray with copper-containing drugs, for example, burgundy mixture. In case of chlorosis disease, the bush replaces its color to yellow, in this case, in water for watering it is necessary to pour iron chelate. If Rhododendron is sick with cancer, then the affected stems are needed or cutting up to a healthy fabric, or removed at all. In order to prevent at the beginning of the spring period and deep autumn, the bushes should be sprayed with a burgundy mixture.
Multiply this plant It is possible by seeds either in vegetative ways: hazard, vaccine, dermal of bush and stalling. Faster and easier to propagate such a plant can be looted.
To seed seeds, places are used, which are filled with moisturized peat or peersmaking, mixed with sand (3: 1). After the seeds are sown, they are sprinkled with sand, which should be washed. From above, it is necessary to cover the tank with glass, and then transferred to a well-lit place. Sevings need to water timely, to venture every day, and you also need to regularly remove the condensate from the surface of the glass. As a rule, the first seedlings appear in 30 days. When the seedlings have a pair of real sheet plates, they will need to be seeded by becoming better, using the 2x3 centimeter scheme. When transplanting seedlings should be plugged in Semi-aidoli, this will make it possible to form a strong root system. Seedlings in the first year of life must be grown in a cool greenhouse. For the second year, the seedlings should be transferred to open soil for training beds with garden earth, mixed with a small number of peat and sand. Such seedlings differ in relatively slow growth. Their first bloom can be seen only for 6-8 years.
The drawing is also a rather complicated way of reproduction. For the workpiece of cuttings, semi-respected stems are used. Cherenkov's length can vary from 50 to 80 mm. Bottom leaf plates with chopped cuttings should be broken. At the same time, the lower cuts must be immersed in a solution that stimulates the growth of the roots (for example, heteroacexin), by 12-16 hours. To roighten the cuttings, planted into the substrate consisting of sand and peat (1: 3). Then the container from above must be covered with a transparent dome. The rooting of cuttings is a continuous process and difficult. Thus, the rooting of evergreen species lasts from 3 to 4.5 months, and deciduous - 6 weeks. For cutting, the cuttings are planted in boxes filled with a substrate consisting of pine needles and peat (1: 2). During winter period The cuttings should be in a well-lit and cool (from 8 to 12 degrees) of the room. With the onset of spring, the drawer with cuttings should be shopped in the garden plot. There they will grow another 1 or 2 years, only after this cutting can be transplanted for a permanent place.
The lighter and natural method of reproduction of this culture is the drawing of the chains. In the springtime, a low-rise young flexible escape should be chosen, it must be burned and put in the prepared groove, the depth of which should be at least 15 centimeters. The middle part of the stem must be fixed in the groove, pinching it. Next, the groove is filled with garden ground connected to peat. The top of the stem left on the surface must be tied to a vertically installed peg. During watering itself, the cooks should not be forgotten to moisturize and the grain. In autumn, either with the onset of the next spring, the tanks must be cut off from the parent plant and disembark to a permanent place. This method is excellent for breeding Rhododendron Falls.
If a drought is observed in autumn time, then Rhododendron will need regular abundant irrigation, so, under 1 bus station, 10-12 liters of water should be poured. If at the autumn time systematic rains are observed, then such plants do not need to water. In November, it is necessary to insulate the system of shrub roots, for this, the surface of the priority circle should be closed with a layer of peat.
If Rhododendron is grown in medium latitudes, then after the first frosts, the bushes should be inspired. For this, the branches of the pine branches are shoved between the branches of the plant, and the shrub itself is a little tightened by the twine. Then it should be covered by burlap. Remove the bags from the plants in the early spring after the snow cover comes down, and choose a cloudy day. If Rhododendron is cultivated in the region with a fairly warm climate, then in the shelter it does not need it.
Rhododendron species There is a very large amount. Below will be described those species that are cultivated by gardeners, as well as the most popular garden varieties.
IN natural conditions This species is found on the rocks and in coniferous forests of Northeast China, East Siberia, Primorsky Krai, Korea and Northern Mongolia. This average evergreen shrub is stronger, its height can vary from 200 to 400 cm. Corah gray color. Branches are directed up. Buro-red thin shoots closer to the tips have a downset, which is a short pile. The length of small leaf leaf plates is about 30 mm, the front surface is smooth, and the purple - scaly. The color of young leaves pale green, and over time they become dark green, in autumn time they are painted in a green-red or brown color. IN winter time It takes place only not very much of foliage. Blossom is quite magnificent and lasts about 20 days. Flowers bloom before the foliage opens. They are large, have a funnel shape, pink-purple color, and in the diameter reach 40 mm. In autumn, sometimes repeated bloom is sometimes observed. This species is highly resistant to frozen, and it is well multiplied with green cuttings. There are 2 varieties:
This evergreen shrub grows on rocky slopes and in the mountain forests of the Far East, as well as the Northeastern Bloods of Tibet. The height of the branched bush can reach up to 50 cm. On the surface of the shoots there is a omission consisting of a glazed pile. Matte dense green leaf plates have an oblong-elliptical form in length and width they can reach about 20 mm. The front surface is naked with them, and on the involves there are scales, because of what it has a red color. The shields consist of 7-15 flowers, in the diameter reaching 15 mm, they are painted in various shades of pink color. This species is entered in the Red Book of Buryatia.
The birthplace of this species is Japan, or rather, Honshu Island, where he prefers to grow on the sunny mountains. This species is among the most beautiful deciduous rhododendrons. The height of the branched shrub can reach 200 cm. Stems naked either on their surface are silver color bristles. The green leaf plate has an oblong-lanceal form, and on the front, and on the wrong surface there is a soft omission. In autumn, the foliage is painted in red-orange color. Brushes consist of 6-12 fragrant flowers of the bell-shaped shape, in the diameter reaching 80 mm and possessing a red-shark or orange color. Of all the species grown in medium latitudes, this species is the most beautiful. It has high frost resistance, and still perfectly multiplied with seed and stallion.
In nature, this view is found in the Caucasus. This not very tall shrub is evergreen, the branches are sharpened. Leather dark green leaf plates, located on sufficient thick long stiffs, have an oblong-oval form. The front surface is naked, and the wrong - felt-redhead. On the hairy flowers are brushes consisting of 8-10 fragrant flowers having a funnel-shaped shape and a pale green color, inside the zea are green specks. Decorative forms:
Also, the gardeners are cultivated by such species as: Albrecht Rhododendron, Atlantic, Vases, Holocelete, Tree, Yellow, Havy, Western, Golden, Indian, Kamchatka, Canadian, Carolinsky, Carpathian, Kistere, Adhesive, Shortoploy, Red, Large, Large, Kathevbinsky , Lapland, Larbura, mellular, nail, sea buckthorn, pointed, dense, Pontic, attractive, Pukkhan, rusty, equivalent, pink, sechotic, creamy, stupid, rooted, yakushiman, etc.
This includes hybrids and zertforms that are cultivated by gardeners. Rhododendron hybrid is Rhododendron Garden. The following varieties are most popular:
Many unprofessional gardeners seeing a chic rhododendron in the picture, decide on anything to decorate their garden plot. However, in most cases, by purchasing and putting a cherished bush on its plot, the gardener notes that his Rhododendron is not so beautiful as it was assumed, and besides, he gradually gets up and dies. Therefore, most gardeners are asked if it is possible to successfully cultivate such a thermal-loving shrub in the suburbs? And is it possible to grow such a plant in unusual average latitudes? If you do everything right, then it is quite possible.
First of all, you should choose the right variety that is able to survive enough frosty winter months. The fact is that thermal-loving species and varieties, even if they are very good to cover, in the winter they will still get out. Very good for cultivation in such conditions suitable leaf falls: Rhododendron Japanese, Yellow, Shlippenbach, Vases, Canadian, Kamchatka, Pukkhan. From the firstborn, you can choose Rhododendron Larber. For cultivation in medium latitudes from evergreen species, Rhododendron Kathevbinsky is suitable (and his hybrids Alfred, Abraham Lincoln, Nova Zemm worm, Canning White), Also Rhododendrons are short-forth, golden, largest and Rhododendron Smirnova and his hybrids Gabriel, Dorothy Swift, Like. Finnish breeders are relatively recently obtained enough winter-resistant varieties of Elvira, Hague, Mikkeli. Also well tolerate the harsh winter of medium latitudes of the Northern Light group of Rosie Lightts, Pink Lightts, Spice Lights, etc.
Purchase a suitable seedling little, it is necessary to put it right:
To care for rhododendron cultivated in medium latitudes should be almost the same as those plants that are grown in regions with a softer climate. However, there are some differences. Care rules:
Rhododendron is a very beautiful plant, and it has healing properties that are used for more than one year both in the official and alternative medicine. The composition of the species Rhododendron Daurus, Golden, Adams, Caucasian includes Andromedotoxin, Ericolin, Arbutin and Rhododenrin. The composition of foliage includes ascorbic acid, while in the summer its concentration in the plant is most. Due to the substances that entered into such a plant, it is characterized by an anesthetic, sedative, antipyretic, antibacterial and coating effect. It is also able to remove from the body excess liquid, eliminate swelling, outbreak, frequent heartbeat, strengthen cardiac activity, as well as reduce venous and blood pressure.
But it should not be assumed that this plant is absolutely harmless. Rhododendron, made on the basis of Rhododendron, cannot be used to people suffering from a serious kidney disease and tissue necrosis, as well as pregnant and feeding breasted women.
