Shaping and trimming

Pluck the heart and sparse the bud

If you pick the heart in time, they can open faster, so pay attention to this and pick the heart before flowering. If there are too many flower buds, it will lead to the phenomenon of flowers clustered together, but this is not good-looking, so we should remove the excess flower buds in time. After picking, the flowers will not only be bigger, but also look better in color

Pruning

Because the sprouting power of this plant is very strong, appropriate pruning can make them grow better. If they are not pruned, it will affect the viewing effect. Pruning time is generally selected after flowers fall or in autumn, which will not affect its normal growth. Cut off the branches that have been sick or long insects. If such branches have been sick, they may not only be transfected into the nearby branches, but also part of the nutrients may be distributed. Also cut off the crossed, overgrown, overlapping and over dense branches, which will affect the overall beauty and separate some nutrients

Flowering control

This flower bud differentiation is in autumn, and the flowering period is mainly adjusted by adjusting the temperature during the period. There are two methods here. One is suitable for them to blossom in advance. You can directly put the potted rhododendrons in indoor culture. In addition to maintaining the temperature at 20-25 ℃, you should also spray water frequently to control the surrounding humidity at more than 80%, so that they can bloom after 45 days

The second method is suitable for friends who want to delay their flowering. Put the azalea that has formed flower buds at a low temperature and keep it at 2-4 ℃. Water it when the pot soil is too dry, and then put it outdoors in summer. It will open in the first half of the month
