1、 Controlled watering

Proper watering in autumn can help the root growth of Rhododendron, and also allow the plant to store some water, so as to prepare for overwintering and prevent cherry blossoms on its bark. Specifically, in September, water can be poured 1-2 times a day to keep the flower soil slightly dry. In October, the frequency of watering can be reduced and changed to once a day or twice a day

2、 Trim shape

Autumn is the best time to trim it. You can first cut off the thin and weak branches on the plant, and then cut off all the redundant branches, leaving the main branches and maintaining a suitable plant type. In addition, some disorderly branches can be fixed by binding iron wires to change their growth direction

3、 Increase fertilization

In autumn, it can be clearly seen that new buds grow, and flower buds will grow on some varieties of plants. Therefore, it is necessary to apply more flower fertilizer at this time to allow the plant to accumulate nutrients to supply the needs for new bud growth and flower bud opening

4、 Uniform illumination

Because flower buds and buds will appear on the plant at this time, it is best to rotate the flowerpot regularly to let the plant receive more uniform light. This can prevent the uneven growth of flower buds and buds. On one side, the branches are lush and bloom more, while on the other side, the branches are sparse and bloom less
