What plants do azaleas belong to?

Rhododendron is a kind of flower plant with high ornamental value. Planting in China has a long history and a wide variety. According to statistics, there are more than 900 species of rhododendron, which are mainly divided into five strains, namely, spring rhododendron, summer rhododendron, west rhododendron, east rhododendron and mountain rhododendron.

Rhododendron likes cool and humid climate, so it needs a good ventilation environment when it is maintained, and the temperature should be kept between 12-25 degrees, which is not resistant to high temperature. If the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, it will grow slowly and be in a semi-dormant state, so it needs to keep warm in winter.
