1、 Pruning time

It has strong vitality and can be trimmed in all seasons. However, pruning is best in spring, which can promote it to grow more vigorously. In addition, cut off branches and buds after the first wave of flowers bloom

2、 Pruning method

1. Prune buds: prune the branches after each flowering so that more flowers can bloom next time. In addition, the abortive flowers should be cut off, so that the plant can better absorb nutrition, which is beneficial to the length of lateral branches and the formation of skeleton and flower shape

2. Cut off dead branches: cut off dead and diseased branches in time during maintenance. If not, it will affect the plant's absorption of nutrients. After pruning, the air permeability and light transmittance are better, and the Rhododendron grows more beautiful

3. Binding weak branches: some branches will be very weak but will not wither during maintenance, mostly due to improper methods. At this time, the iron wire can be bound in time to shape, or it can be bound first, which can help the weak branches grow and the plant shape will be more beautiful
