Tea plum blossoms like to have plenty of sunshine, so they can bloom luxuriantly and brightly with appropriate light. The old basin must be cleaned with water and disinfected before use to prevent diseases and insect pests.

2. Watering should be dry and wet, and watering should be thoroughly watered. Avoid watering waist water. Avoid exposure to harmful gases, such as smoke. Do not change places frequently, otherwise it will affect the growth.

3. In order to maintain the proper acidity of the basin soil, it can be combined with fertilization to irrigate alum fertilizer or water with grass bubble brush.

4. Spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution to the leaves and spray a very small amount of urea nitrogen fertilizer once every 7-10 days to absorb nutrients through the leaves and promote the growth of the root system.

5. The main diseases of tea plum blossom are gray spot, soot, anthracnose and so on, which should be prevented and treated early. Once the disease occurs, it can be sprayed with the same amount of Bordeaux solution 300 times, and the planting time is suitable in early spring.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of tea plum

I. Culture methods of tea plum

1. Soil: Camellia oleifera is suitable for growing in acid sandy soil with loose fertility and good drainage, alkaline soil and clay are not suitable for planting, and lime soil is more taboo to be used. when potted in the north, it is appropriate to choose rotten leaf soil or peat soil, plus a small amount of river sand culture soil.

2. Watering: tea plum should be watered to keep the basin soil moist without stagnant water. It should be watered once every morning and evening in summer and once in several days in winter. In addition to winter, should also spray water to the leaf surface every few days, in order to keep the leaf surface clean, watering must be thoroughly watered.

3. Sunshine: Camellia oleifera is a semi-shady plant, avoid strong light. Generally, it should be cultured in the shade from May to September every year. If it is directly exposed to the hot sun, it is very easy to burn leaves and buds, causing leaves to curl and scorch and fall off in serious cases. We need more sunshine in late autumn and winter.

4. Temperature: tea plum likes warm environment, and the suitable temperature for growth is 18-25 ℃. The temperature should not be too high. When the temperature exceeds 35 ℃, the tender leaves are prone to birthday burn. At the same time, Camellia oleifera has strong cold tolerance and can be kept in a cold room of more than 2 ℃ in winter.

5, fertilization: tea plum fertilization strives to be light and fully mature, and the application of raw fertilizer or thick fertilizer will burn the roots, especially the seedlings in 2012. In general, a dilute nitrogen fertilizer was applied from February to March to promote the growth of branches and leaves. A thin cake fertilizer and water was applied from April to May to facilitate flower bud differentiation. 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate was applied from September to October to make the flowers bright.

6. Insect pests: tea plum has fewer diseases and insect pests, and the main diseases are gray spot, soot, anthrax, etc., which should be prevented and treated early. Once the disease occurs, it can be sprayed with the same amount of Bordeaux solution 300 times. If there are shell insects, red spiders and other damage, can be brushed off manually, there are red spiders, can be used to bubble tobacco water mixed with pepper water spray, the effect is also very significant.

7. Pruning: tea plum and camellia also need to timely thinning buds and cutting off residual flowers in order to reduce nutrient consumption. In general, each branch leaves 1 bud, the rest are sparse, so that nutrients are concentrated, then the flower is large and colorful. Cutting off the residual flowers in time can not only keep the plant shape beautiful, but also conducive to the germination of new branches, but also promote the healthy growth of the plant.

II. Points for attention of tea plum

1. Avoid too high room temperature: family potted tea plum is in a state of semi-dormancy in cold winter and early spring, and the suitable temperature is 2: 10 ℃. Vegetative growth is promoted when the average temperature exceeds 10 ℃, thus competing for nutrients for developing buds, causing them to gradually wither.

2. Avoid poor air: the family closes the windows in winter to keep the air fresh. It is also the key to prevent and cure the stiff buds of domesticated tea plum. Need to regularly open the window for air, it is best to open the window every morning and evening for about ten minutes each time, to keep the indoor air fresh and avoid exposure to harmful gases.

3. Taboo changing position: potted tea plum belongs to the semi-dormant period of stopping vegetative growth and entering bud expansion after moving indoors in winter, which requires a stable cool and wet environment. At this time, the most taboo temperature is high and low, and the light is strong and weak. More attention should be paid to it, especially when it is about to bloom.

4. Avoid leaving too many buds: tea plum needs to consume a lot of nutrients during the period from bud gestation to flowering. If there are not a large number of buds in time, it will be difficult to ensure that there are enough nutrients for bud development and flowering in the later stage. Not only a normal flower can not be seen, but also the plant will be tired and even lead to death.

5. Fertilization before flowering is prohibited: although tea plum needs a lot of nutrients in bud development and flowering season, fertilization before flowering will "top" the huge blooming buds, so it is generally not fertilized after entering the house in winter, and the fertilizer and water management in vegetative growth period should be strengthened. Fertilization can be divided into spring and summer stages.

How to make tea plum bonsai

1. Tea plum bonsai production: material selection

The tea plum with low plant, slow growth, small leaf shape and soft branches is more suitable for processing, such as expanding the low winter tea plum. Ordinary tea plum varieties that are more upright can also try to make towering bonsai, but it is best not to use varieties with tall plants, rapid growth and large flowers and leaves.

2. Tea plum bonsai production: material source

It is best to use 2-3-year-old cuttings or seedlings, because the branches of the seedlings are easy to process and shape, and can be cultivated into a variety of trees by continuous shaping, pruning, hanging and winding in the process of cultivation. Can also dig dry Qiu wild Camellia, Camellia oleifera and other old plant branches through truncated grafting or the use of old plants to sprout new branches, after continuous modeling, the production of old tea plum pile pots.

3. Tea plum bonsai production: modeling

It is usually based on the natural posture of tea plum plant or artistically processed into straight dry type, oblique dry type, double dry type, and can also be cultivated into curved dry type, cliff type, semi-cliff type and so on.

4. Tea plum bonsai production: post-maintenance

Generally change the basin once every two to three years, in addition to choose a good color, size, style of the basin and the plant to match, the basin had better be a little smaller, do not choose a large one, about 1/2 of the crown. Properly cut off the damaged roots and part of the old roots to help the better development of shallow roots, but also contribute to the dwarfing of plants. When planting, the base of the stem needs to be slightly higher, beyond the edge of the basin, and exposed plants should avoid wind blowing and sun exposure.

What if the tea plum leaves fall?

1. Proper shading

As the newly planted tea plum can not withstand the cold wind and sun in early spring, it should be placed outside in a sheltered, warm, semi-shady place. If it is cold outdoors, it should be placed indoors where there is scattered light, and only with the rise of the temperature can the basin be gradually placed outside. As the temperature continues to rise, pots can be placed around noon on the north windowsill or balcony of the north house, accepting only the rising sun and sunset, while avoiding the direct sunlight around noon, and should be placed under the eaves of the corridor or under the scaffolding in the courtyard in summer.

2. Appropriate watering

After the newly transplanted or newly mailed tea plum seedlings are fully watered for the first time, do not water as long as the pot soil is not dry. Spray 2Mel water to the plant and basin surface three times a day to keep the basin soil slightly moist, which ensures that the leaf surface is not short of water and does not make the basin soil too wet. usually watering should be dry and wet.

3. Fertilization is light.

In general, a dilute nitrogen fertilizer was applied from February to March to promote the growth of branches and leaves. A thin cake fertilizer and water was applied from April to May to facilitate flower bud differentiation. 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate was applied from September to October to make the flowers bright. In order to maintain the proper acidity of the basin soil, it can be combined with fertilization to irrigate alum fertilizer water or water with grass bubble brush.
