How to make azalea whip

[Poolie130]

I used a pair of sharp pruning shears and shaved down with a knife will show pics later when the sun in photos is not so unpredictable. Sealed all cuts with top Jin. @Deep Sea Diver I had a question about the after care after pruning like this I was thinking of letting it hangout in the shade for a week after this and just keeping up on the water until I see good steady new growth.
Thanks Poolie

Should be good with morning sun and afternoon part shade right away.
