It is usually in full bloom from January to March and is widely planted in various places. Is it good to grow camellias fengshui at home? How to maintain and trim? How often is it watered? What are the methods of changing camellias on the pot? According to Mr. Hu, the expert in custom research, camellias have the meaning of being rich and noble, so they are very suitable for display at home.

How to maintain and trim camellias?

Maintenance:

1, camellias are still very easy to feed, buy home, put in good ventilation, sufficient light or scattered light, there is a certain air humidity environment, can be placed on the balcony, living room and other places.

2. One thing to pay attention to is not to move the flowerpots of camellias easily. Often change the position and direction of camellias, which can easily lead to fallen leaves and buds of camellias, and in serious cases, it will also lead to plant death.

3. The fertilization of camellias must be thin and diligent. In general, about 20 grams of compound fertilizer and 80 grams of cake fertilizer can be applied in a 30-centimeter flowerpot. For camellias in the bud stage, an appropriate amount of potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed to promote the opening of flower buds.

4. Too many buds can easily lead to lack of nutrients in the plant, which will affect flowering and even lead to bud drop. In general, it is necessary to remove all the axillary buds and buds covered by branches and leaves, leaving only the buds at the top of the camellias, so that the plants have enough nutrients to supply the buds to open, which is conducive to the bright color of the flowers.

Trim:

1. There are many ways to prune camellias, which need to be pruned according to different varieties. Because these varieties, such as Hong Luzhen and Dongfangliang, grow relatively fast, and their plants usually grow upright, we need to prune them from the top, about 1/3 of the height of the plants. moreover, it is necessary to cut off some of the branches that are easy to block the light, and cut off more of the fast-growing branches appropriately. Those who grow slowly can cut less or not.

2. After pruning, the camellias should also be picked leaves accordingly, which is conducive to its better growth. after our careful pruning, the camellias grow faster in the second year, and the shape is very good-looking.

3. There are also some varieties of camellias, which grow slowly, but have a good shape, such as sai peony, mandarin duck and Phoenix kou, which are all more beautiful camellias. At this time, we need to prune the faster-growing branches to make them look comfortable and keep the branches the same length. During the growth period, we should also pay attention to the sick branches to be cut off in time. In order to ensure a good growth order, the unpruned branches can be removed from the top shoots and let them branch around to increase ornamental. There is also a kind of five-color camellia, which has soft branches and a large crown, so just cut off the side branches below the main branch, and then trim the crown properly to make it look beautiful.

How often do camellias be watered?

1. Camellias are required to be dry and wet, watering is generally dry and thoroughly watered, the soil surface is dry and the leaves are a little drooping, and the sound is relatively crisp when tapping the flowerpot, which means it is already dry, and watering is better at this time.

2. In spring, the temperature gradually rises, and watering can be watered more appropriately, but we should pay attention to keeping a basin soil moist. The temperature is gradually rising in summer, in addition to daily watering, it is often necessary to spray water on the camellia plants, but in summer there is rainy weather, and there will be plum rain in some areas, so in summer, in addition to paying attention to spraying water to increase air humidity and lower the temperature, it is also necessary to drain water in rainy weather to avoid rotting roots. In autumn, the weather is relatively dry, and watering is the same as in summer, so we need to pay attention to spraying. In late September, we should increase the number of watering, which can promote the growth of camellias. Watering in winter should be properly reduced, and the soil is required to be dry. Keep the soil moist before the cold weather comes. In addition, in the flowering period, pay attention to keep the soil moist, it is best not to dry out.

Basically, it means watering more in spring, summer and autumn and blooming, and controlling water in winter.

3. When watering camellias, the time of watering varies according to different seasons. In spring and autumn, it is generally possible to water except in the morning and noon. In summer, it should not be watered at noon. It should be watered in the morning and evening. In winter, watering is usually at noon when the temperature is high, do not water sooner or later, watering should pay attention to the water temperature, not too low.

1. Soil selection

According to the growth characteristics of camellias, it is best to use slightly acidic, fertile and well-drained mountain mud as basin soil. It is important to have good drainage, and calcareous soil should not be used. In addition, if you use clay plants will also grow poorly, using alkaline soil will cause yellow leaves to wither.

2. The choice of basin

The most suitable pot for potted camellias is pottery mud basin, because its drainage and air permeability are better. It's the right size. Generally speaking, the flowerpot diameter of seedlings in two or three years is about 13cm 17cm; the plants with high 60CM in four or five years are suitable for 20~24CM in diameter; and the plants with high 80CM in 1987 and 1988 need flowerpot diameter 33CM or so.

3. Potting time

The potting time is November in winter and February to March in early spring. Because the buds are the biggest at this time, the flowers are in full bloom and are suitable for pots. If you want to change pots when flowers wither and new roots sprout, special care should be taken not to damage the plant's roots.

Generally, the pot is stopped before and after the budding period, because this is the time when the new shoots are waiting for hair, the leaves are unfolding, and a lot of water is needed. If the new root on the basin is easy to be injured at this time, it will affect the growth and development. High temperature and severe winter season are easy to cause plant death, but also avoid pots.

4. the method of potting.

Put 3-4 pieces of broken tiles in the drainage hole pad at the bottom of the basin, put a layer of coarse grain culture or put some basic fertilizer such as sun-dried chicken and duck manure. Plant the plant, then add the mud until the basin is 80% full, the soil is almost flat with the rhizome of the plant, and then tamp the soil with your fingers. Water enough, and be sure to water it for the first time after putting it on the basin. Pour it to the permeable position of the basin bottom. Finally, put the plant in the backlight, and the sun can be seen about 10 days later.

The camellias are changed once every two years, and the larger ones can be changed every three to five years. When changing the pot, you can use bamboo cuttings to loosen the four walls of the flowerpot, and then pull out the plant as a whole. Cut off the bad blackened roots. Then plant it in the basin and add the mud. The others are basically the same as those on the basin.
