How to Prune Rhododendron indicum?
Evergreen azalea, known for its stunning blooms and evergreen foliage, requires pruning in late spring after flowering. Key pruning techniques include deadheading spent blooms, thinning out overcrowded branches, and shaping the plant to maintain its natural form. Pruning helps improve air circulation, reduce pest issues, and promote healthy new growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as it may reduce flowering. Use sanitized tools to prevent disease, and always prune just above a leaf node or bud for best results.
