How to raise Camellia Culture methods and matters needing attention

Everyone must have seen camellias in the botanical garden. it is so beautiful, so many people want to raise it, but do you know how to raise camellias? be careful not to do well, the flowers are all killed by you. Then let the editor bring attention to growing flowers for everyone. Let's follow the editor to refer to the following materials and learn them together.

How to raise camellias

1. Acid soil

Camellia is a kind of flower that lives in the south. It prefers acidic soil. If the soil is too alkaline, it will hinder the growth of camellias. Loose and fertile acid soil, rotten leaf soil plus loess, sandy soil, the proportion of 4:3:3 can promote the growth of camellias. To maintain acidity, add a few drops of ferrous sulfate to the soil for a month.

2. The temperature is moderate

If you want to know how to grow camellias, you must pay attention to the temperature. Camellia is neither heat-resistant nor cold-resistant, so it is most suitable to grow in a warm environment. The best temperature is between 18 and 25 ℃. It should be properly shaded in summer and placed in a greenhouse or on an indoor balcony to bask in the sun in winter.

3. Appropriate watering

Camellia likes a warm and humid environment, especially in the growing season, adequate watering can ensure its growth. Water once every 2-3 days in spring and autumn, once a day in summer, and once every 5-6 days in winter to ensure that the soil is slightly wet and avoid being too dry or too wet.

4. Sufficient light

Camellias like the sun and need good light in spring and autumn as well as in the rainy season. Put it in a cool environment when the weather is hot in summer and give the right amount of light at sunrise and sunset. This place is exposed to the sun all day.

5. Fertilization

Camellia needs a lot of nutrition to bloom for a year, and fertilization is essential at this time. Especially during the growing period and autumn, topdressing can greatly ensure the nutrients of camellias. It is best to apply phosphate fertilizer before flowering to promote the growth of bud buds. From October to November, from April to May, fertilizer can be applied once every 10 days, three times. Ferment naturally with a small amount of fresh cake fertilizer, and the fertilizer will decompose naturally after watering, without causing fat damage or nutrient loss.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Camellia

I. Culture methods of Camellia

1. Soil

Potted soil is very important for the growth of camellias, so care must be taken when choosing soil. It is usually high in humus and slightly acidic soil, so it can meet the needs of the soil.

2. Temperature

Camellia is afraid of high temperature and low temperature, so the temperature had better be between 18 and 25 degrees. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect its growth, especially in winter, to move it back to the room for maintenance, to the sun at noon, you can move it to the balcony. In summer, to prevent exposure to the sun, and the temperature is too high.

3. Watering

Camellia likes wet places, so water is important, but make sure it is properly watered, not too dry or too wet, or it will affect root growth. If it is in summer, you can pour more water to facilitate its growth. If it is winter, you need to reduce the amount of water. You can pour it every 2 to 3 days to prevent frost damage.

4. Fertilization

When camellia is in use, the amount of fertilizer should be sufficient. Especially in the growing period, in addition to adding fertilizer conducive to growth, but also need to add phosphate fertilizer, can promote its later flowers a little more colorful, but must not fertilize too much, too much, otherwise it will affect the growth of roots.

5. Periodically

Pruning is also important in terms of protection. When there are too many buds, you need to prune regularly, cut off the weak branches above and tidy up the buds in order to better absorb nutrients.

6. Diseases and insect pests

Camellia is easy to breed diseases and insect pests. The common cause is black mold, which is extremely harmful to plants. Therefore, in the period when it is prone to diseases and insect pests, it is necessary to spray some drugs in the process of diseases and insect pests to prevent and control diseases and insect pests in order to promote its better growth.

II. Matters needing attention of Camellia

1. Selection of pot soil and pot for camellia culture.

According to the growth characteristics of camellia, it is recommended to use slightly acidic, loose, fertile and mixed drainage soil as potted soil. Special attention should be paid to good drainage and do not use calcareous soil. The proportion of mixed soil is 6 parts of red soil, 3 parts of orchid mud (rotten leaf soil) and 2 parts of fine sandy soil. The size of the basin should be moderate, not too big or too small. In general, the ratio of pot to seedling is as high as 40cm to 50cm, and the crown is 20 to 25cm. It should be planted in a purple sand pot or a basin with a diameter of about 20 cm. Other sizes, etc.

2. The potting time of camellia culture

From February to March, the potting time is November, when the buds are enlarged and the flowers are in full bloom, which is the most suitable for potting. When the flowers are withering and the new roots are still sprouting, if you want to put them on the pot, you must pay special attention not to hurt the roots. Generally stop on the basin before and after the budding period, because at this time the new shoots are waiting to be sent and the leaves are developed, which requires a lot of water, such as pots, new roots are injured, it is easy to affect the growth and development of the year, and the basin also avoids the season of high temperature and severe winter. so as not to cause plant contraction and death.

Matters needing attention in hydroponic Culture of Camellia

1. Light, camellia is a kind of plant that loves light, just like soil farming, you only need to avoid the strong light in summer, and you need better light in other seasons.

2. The nutrient solution should be prepared by adding water. In the vegetative growth period, nitrogen and potassium are dominant in the vegetative growth period, while phosphorus and potassium are dominant in the flower bud differentiation period.

3. There is no need to be too diligent in changing water, but every time you change water, you must rinse the root system and remove the mucus adhered to the root system. And clean the vase used in water culture, preferably with 800 times potassium permanganate.

4. The water level should not be too deep. About 2pm 3 of the roots can enter the water. If you are from soil culture to hydroponics, do not put the root system into the water first, just add pebbles to the tray at the top of the water bottle to fix the root system, let the moisture in the bottle rise and moisturize, and then keep spraying water on the roots and pebbles every day.

5. The hydroponic bottle should not be too small, it is better to be a little deeper. Do not have too big temperature difference in the water temperature of each change of water, so that you can grow well.

Camellia should pay special attention to the problem of bugs in summer. if bugs prevent camellias from absorbing nutrients, they will wither. don't look at the beauty of the flowers and think that it is easy to raise them. This is a very painstaking thing, impatient people, the editor still does not recommend you to raise.
