Last Updated: 2024/11/22, The best time to prune azaleas is after the flowers are withered. The reason is that azaleas blossom first and then grow leaves, it has consumed a lot of nutrients when it blossoms, and new branches grow new leaves after blooming, and it needs to consume a lot of nutrients. At this time, it is often due to insufficient nutrition supply, resulting in not many branches, weakening growth. Pruning after anthesis greatly reduces the consumption of plant nutrition, so that it can rest and recuperate for a period of time and accumulate nutrients to facilitate vigorous branching in the future. In addition, the growth of the plant has the apical advantage, and when the branch top is cut off, it loses the apical advantage.

Azalea prunes best time sufficient flower to fade hind. The reason is that azaleas bloom first and then grow leaves. When it blooms, it has consumed a lot of nutrients. After flowering, new branches grow and new leaves grow, which requires a lot of nutrients. At this time, due to insufficient nutrition supply, resulting in not many hair branches, growth weakened. Pruning after flowering greatly reduces the consumption of plant nutrients, allowing it to have a period of rest and accumulation of nutrients for future vigorous growth. In addition, plants have apical dominance in growth, and when the top of the branch is truncated, it loses its apical dominance, forcing it to develop horizontally. So cut a branch, can germinate a number of lateral branches, branch propagation is flowering.

Azalea pruning method, according to the original posture of the plant and personal preferences, can be trimmed into a flat crown or semicircular tree type is more beautiful. The pruning method is to cut more long branches and less short branches, and to cut the crown flat and neat. No matter spring cuckoo, summer cuckoo or western cuckoo, the crown can be enlarged, or reduced, or the plant type shortened by pruning. In short, according to the specific situation, how to change how to cut, flexible grasp.
