Do a good job of these 7 points, let your camellias blossom!

To grow camellias well, you really need a lot of patience and a certain amount of technology. it is impossible for those who have only enthusiasm but no skills to grow camellias well. here are 7 tips for cultivating camellias. Make your camellias blossom and flourish!

Transplant or change the basin at the right time

Camellia should be changed or transplanted from October to February of the Gregorian calendar, especially November is the best season for camellia transplantation. after November, the later the plant is transplanted, the more disadvantageous it is to plant recovery. Many friends like to move seedlings during the Spring Festival, which is one of the main reasons for the poor growth of camellias.

Second, grow camellias in loose and breathable soil

Loose and breathable, weakly acidic soil is the most suitable for camellia growth, it is best to bring a certain amount of fertility, such as: "orchid soil", garden soil, red sandy soil, etc., whether potted or ground planting, should try to use this kind of soil as the medium. Some people think that red soil is highly acidic, so they use red soil to grow camellias. In fact, although red soil is acidic, it has strong stickiness and poor air permeability, which is not conducive to camellia rooting.

An environment suitable for the growth of camellias

Most of the original camellias grow in a half-overcast and half-sun environment, but it does not mean that camellias do not need sunshine. practice has proved that camellias need proper light in spring, autumn and winter, and during the period of new branches and leaves in spring, camellias with thick leaves and thick leaves can produce carbohydrates by photosynthesis as much as possible because of sufficient light. Accumulate more nutrients to lay a good nutritional foundation for the following pregnant buds.

All-day sunshine can last until the end of June, unless there is a high temperature of more than 35 degrees in a special abnormal climate during this period, followed by appropriate shading. Due to sufficient light, this period is not conducive to the occurrence of diseases and insect pests. High temperature in summer, proper shading.

Similarly, as the temperature drops gradually in autumn, proper sunshine is needed from mid-late September until the high temperature in the summer of the following year. Due to the low temperature during this period, normal fertilizer and water management will not cause sunburn. On the other hand, plenty of sunlight can bring more nutrition accumulation, so that higher quality flowers can be produced.

Fourth, moisture management "see dry and wet"

The growth habit of camellias is very special, which is not only afraid of dryness, but also afraid of waterlogging, so the requirement of moisture management of camellias is higher, which should be based on the principle of "dry and wet", that is, the soil must be watered until the soil looks a little dry, and watering must be thoroughly watered. In order to prevent camellias, some friends often keep the potted soil very wet, which is often easy to cause rotten roots.

5. Apply thin fertilizer frequently

Camellias not only like fertilizer, but also afraid of fertilizer, should be particularly careful in fertilization, camellia fertilization should adhere to the principle of "thin fertilizer application frequently", diluting fertilizer solution with 300-500 times concentration, fertilizing once a month is appropriate, autumn and winter should adapt to less fertilization, there are acute friends in order to make camellias grow fast, like to apply heavy fertilizer to camellias, often counterproductive, resulting in fertilizer damage.

VI. Be ruthless and sparse the bud

Except for a few varieties, most camellia varieties are easy to form buds, and too many buds will cause camellia plants to weaken or even die. for camellias with too many buds, they should sparse buds as far as possible before September of the Gregorian calendar, so that camellias can bloom brightly. Take the medium-flowered camellia varieties with a crown of about 40 centimeters (such as Chidan) as an example, leave 5-10 buds, and if they are large flower varieties such as Kremer Big Peony, Sai Peony, Mr. Parks, etc., 3-5 will be fine.

7. Trim once a year

Pruning can not only make the camellia trees neat and beautiful, but also promote the germination of new branches and play a rejuvenating role. when the camellias are just withered every year (about the end of February and the beginning of March), the camellias should be trimmed once, the tree type should be trimmed neatly, and the diseased branches should be cut off.
