How to prune azalea bonsai, illustrated instructions for pruning azalea bonsai

1. Seedling pruning

It is suitable when the azalea is still in the seedling stage, in order to better shape it after it is formed, and also to avoid the increase of nutrient consumption during flowering. When flower buds grow, they should be cut off and the tops should be pinched. During its growth process, bud removal can be carried out at any time according to the specific situation.

2. Forming and trimming

1. When the plant grows to a certain extent, it is necessary to prune off branches that have been attacked by pests and diseases, have messy growth, and are too dense. This is done to make the shape of the plant more beautiful and natural.

2. In spring, that is, just after it finishes blooming, the withered flowers should be cut off in time. In addition, some dry and poorly growing branches should also be pruned away together. In addition, deformed branches should also be pruned, otherwise they will hinder the normal growth of the plant.

3. Modeling and pruning

Usually, bonsai needs to be pruned and shaped when it is being maintained. When the plant grows to a certain size and height, it can be pruned into a hemispherical shape, and then reshaped after it blooms every year.
