Sowing propagation should be carried out in the middle of October and begin to germinate about 15 days after sowing.

2. Soil: high in humus and slightly acidic.

Camellia prefers fertile, loose, slightly acidic soil with a pH value of 5.5-6.5. The choice of soil is usually high in humus and slightly acidic. If you configure it yourself, the ingredients are: 50% of mountain soil, 40% of sawdust or edible fungus residue, 10% of cake fertilizer or livestock manure and 10% of phosphate fertilizer.

3. Temperature: between 18 and 25 ℃.

Camellia likes warm climate, afraid of high temperature and low temperature, likes semi-overcast and scorching sun, and the suitable temperature for growth is 18-25 ℃. Summer temperature is too high, to prevent exposure, can be appropriate shade; winter temperature is too low, to move back to the room for maintenance, noon when the sun can be moved to the balcony.
