How to prune azalea

How to prune azalea

1. Moderate pruning

Because azaleas can shape themselves, they do not need to be pruned frequently.

2. Pruning after flowering

When the buds of azalea begin to change color at the edges, wilt, or even fall off, it is necessary to cut off the withered flowers in time to prevent them from forming stones and consuming nutrients.

3. Flowering pruning

When azaleas bloom, some branches that have not formed flower buds, or the stronger branches at the edge of the flowers, will begin to sprout. It is necessary to pick them off in time to keep the flower shape regular.

4. Bud pruning

When new buds sprout, you can control the growth of more protruding branches outside the crown through pruning, so that all branches sprout almost the same, thus achieving the goal of a round and regular plant shape.

5. Tie up weak branches

Some branches of azalea are relatively long and weak. They can be tidied by tying them with wire or string to make their appearance fuller and more regular.
