Rhododendron has strong germination ability, so it should be combined with pruning and shaping, such as coring, bud stripping, branch thinning and bud removal. Picking is mostly carried out in young plants, and the terminal bud or a tender branch is removed to control the plant height, inhibit the excessive growth of long branches and strong branches, and promote the germination of lateral branches. If the inner branch is too thin, you can also pick your heart appropriately to enrich the inner side. Stripping buds can control over-drought and over-flowering, reduce nutrient consumption, and strip off some or all autumn to winter buds before flowering, which is beneficial to stripping and cultivating crown;
The buds that grow in autumn can't be pregnant in that year, so the tillering buds on the root neck and excessive buds on the branches should be removed, and they should be removed with the production; Branching refers to cutting off all diseased branches, dead branches and weak branches at the base in late autumn, and appropriately pruning some parallel branches, overlapping branches, clustered branches and over-dense branches to enhance permeability and prevent pests and diseases; After cutting short, that is, beginning of winter, combined with modeling, cutting short anti-branches, radial branches and budding branches is not only beneficial to plant growth, but also makes plants beautiful. But below the joint, there can't be the original mother branches and buds, otherwise the scion will grow slowly.
Through our introduction, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of the timely shaping and pruning of potted azaleas.
