The most suitable period for pruning

First of all, understand the "age" of the cuckoo you planted. If your cuckoo is still a seedling (cuckoo usually grows for 2-4 years, you are still a seedling), you only need to lose its flower buds. This method can make the cuckoo form a skeleton quickly, which is more conducive to the formation of later flowers. For the grown Rhododendron, the appropriate time for pruning branches is after flowering

Parts to be trimmed

If you find that there are some problems with some branches of your cuckoo, such as some yellowing of the leaves, or withering and some damage, you can cut off such branches, because these branches are easy to affect the growth of the whole potted flower and rob nutrients. The branches that grow abnormally must also be cut off, not only because it can affect the beauty, but also the overall rise

To trim

Before you start pruning azalea, you must have all kinds of tools ready, and then when you start pruning, you must observe first. Carefully cut off some longer branches. The longer branches are easy to affect the overall beauty of the hairy rib Rhododendron, making the hairy rib Rhododendron disorderly in the process of growth. Pruning the longer branches will increase the beauty and viewing. The general pruning method is to wipe buds, sparse branches and short cut. Wiping bud means leaving one or two branches and cutting off the rest. Sparse branches are branches that are over trimmed. The meaning of short cut is to trim the branches that rise too strongly and are relatively long in order to maintain a good shape for viewing

Pruning precautions

When pruning the cuckoo, do not prune blindly and crazily. Prune reasonably, I and control and adjust reasonably. The ability of potted cuckoo to keep its own shape is worth pruning
