As for how to deal with the new buds after azaleas bloom, Uncle Gardener thinks it is unnecessary to deal with them. This situation is normal, and new buds can't be picked, otherwise it will affect the flowering process of azaleas in the coming year. Because the flowering of rhododendron usually begins after the branches and leaves are lignified, if the new buds are removed, the plants will continue to germinate, but this time the time to grow new buds will be delayed a lot, which will affect the flower bud differentiation of the plants, resulting in little or no flowering of the plants. So, what should we do after the azaleas bloom? 1. Cutting flowers in time, mainly pruning withered branches and leaves, can promote the growth and recovery of rhododendrons. As the flowering period has passed, the whole flowering period is coming to an end. When the whole plant blooms 70%~80%, the residual flowers and unopened buds should be cut off in time. Don't wait until all the flowers wither before pruning, otherwise it will consume too much nutrients and affect the future growth of plants. When cutting residual flowers, they should be cut together with pedicels, combined with potted flower shaping, moderately pruned, and cut off branches, branchlets, long branches, damaged branches and dead leaves. As for 2. Timely supplement nutrition. Due to the failure of fertilization in the long winter, coupled with the weakness and lack of nutrition of plants after flowering. Organic fertilizer can be used as fertilizer. It is best to loosen the soil first when fertilizing, which can promote the recovery of azaleas. 3. Prevent pests and diseases, and carry out necessary pest control. If there are many pests, it is best to kill them with some low-concentration pesticides. 4. Adjust the light and increase the ambient humidity. Rhododendron is a semi-shade-loving flower. If the light and humidity are insufficient, it will affect the growth. It should be stored in a well-ventilated and well-lit place and sprayed with water frequently to improve the humidity of the environment. When the light is enhanced, it should be shaded properly to prevent the leaves from burning.
