The difference between western rhododendron and rhododendron is taught in four aspects.

In recent years, there are more and more people who love plants, and the variety of plants is very difficult for people to choose. Rhododendron is a popular and popular plant, but there are two kinds of rhododendrons, western rhododendron and common rhododendron. Many netizens can't tell the difference when they buy them. Let's understand the difference between western rhododendron and rhododendron together. First, the four differences between western rhododendron and rhododendron

1. Different places of origin

Let's talk about the origin of these two kinds of rhododendrons first. Western rhododendron comes from Belgium, so it also has a name called Belgian Rhododendron, but it is easy to buy western rhododendron in northern China, while most of the rhododendrons bought in the south are ordinary rhododendrons, which is also the difference between western rhododendron and rhododendron.

2. Appearance difference

In addition, the appearance difference between western rhododendron and common rhododendron is very big. The height of western rhododendron is between one meter and two meters, but its branches are very rare, which is different from ordinary rhododendron. Although their heights are similar, the branches of common rhododendron are very lush and plump.

3. Leaf shape

And their leaves are even different. The leaves of rhododendron occidentalis are thicker, and their 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 occidentalis have many shapes, which is the best way to distinguish them.

4. Flowering time

The last difference between Rhododendron occidentalis and Rhododendron vulgaris is the flowering time. Rhododendron occidentalis blooms in April and May, but it has double petals, while Rhododendron occidentalis blooms in April, and its petals are small, numerous and dense, and it is composed of single petals and tube petals. Moreover, the propagation method of Rhododendron occidentalis is only grafting, while ordinary rhododendron can be inserted. #p# Drainage also needs to be unblocked. In summer, direct sunlight is forbidden, shading and frequent spraying are needed. Breeding should be done in early spring, using grafting or cutting. Many people say that rhododendron is very difficult to raise.

2. Cultivation method of common rhododendron

Common rhododendron likes cool and humid climate, hates hot and dry, and is required to be rich in humus, loose and moist, and is a representative plant in acidic soil. Most of them are resistant to shade and warm, and do not like to get wet. If rhododendron is just bought in summer, I suggest you put it in a place with high indoor humidity and relatively low light first, and wait for a few days. If it is winter, it is recommended to put it in a sunny and high temperature place. Compared with rhododendron, it is very easy to raise. Third, the geomantic function of rhododendron

1. One of the geomantic functions: dispelling evil spirits

Many people think that rhododendron is an unlucky plant, and in many poets' works, it represents a symbol of parting and sadness, but as a geomantic plant, its function is very good, because it will have the function of dispelling evil spirits at home, if the home is directly facing hospitals, cemeteries and the like.

2. The meaning of flower language makes it a good geomantic plant

There are many sayings of flower language, mainly including temperance, honesty, love and so on. These meanings make it a very good geomantic plant. It can be planted in the courtyard or placed in the office. It is better to choose crimson, reddish or rose red varieties. It can also be placed in the square, and the suitable variety is purple.

conclusion: through the above introduction, I believe everyone knows the difference between western rhododendron and common rhododendron, and also knows the cultivation methods of the 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.
