1. Moderate pruning

Because the Rhododendron can shape itself, it doesn't need to be trimmed regularly

2. Post flower pruning

When the flower buds of Rhododendron begin to change color, wilt or even fall off, its decaying flowers should be cut off in time to prevent its stones from consuming nutrients

3. Flowering pruning

When the Rhododendron blooms, some branches that do not form flower buds, or stronger branches on the edge of the flower, will sprout. It is necessary to remove them in time to keep the pattern neat

4. Bud pruning

When new buds germinate, the more prominent branches outside the crown can be controlled by pruning, so that all branches germinate almost the same, so as to achieve the purpose of complete and regular plant type

5. Binding weak branches

Some branches of Rhododendron are relatively long and weak. They can be sorted by binding iron wire or binding wire rope to make its shape more plump and regular
