Cultivation skills of Camellia matters needing attention in Branch cutting Propagation

Camellias look very gorgeous and charming, and they are especially ornamental when they bloom. Planting some camellias on the balcony or in the yard will add a very charming luster to the family. In fact, they are easy to breed. Just cut off some branches and learn.

Above this is the beautiful Kanjilang mountain camellia, the petals are charming pink, the stamens are yellow, is a very exuberant flowering shrub.

If you want to propagate camellias by cutting, you must choose a strong shrubby camellia, choose soft branches for cutting cultivation, and prepare a sharp disinfection knife for pruning.

Prepare some small drained containers, which can be plastic pots or clay pots, prepare some loose drained soil, and you can choose to prepare some rooting powder, cling film and spray-like water spray cans.

The branch cutting cultivation of camellia is relatively simple, its own branches and leaves will grow particularly exuberant, cutting off some small branches will have little impact on it, camellia can even use leaf cuttings to propagate, but the growth rate is too slow, it is best to select some soft branches for cutting, the cultivation medium is best to use perlite or vermiculite, properly add peat soil, have better water retention, promote better rooting.

Camellia is a flowering shrub that grows very slowly, and great patience is needed in the process of conservation. When cutting and propagating, you must choose a special horticultural cut of pineapple, and it is best to pre-select disinfection and choose cutting propagation in summer.

The cut branches are about 8 to 10 centimeters long, and the soft branches that just grow in summer are the best. cut oblique at the bottom of the branches, remove all the leaves at the bottom, and leave 2 to 3 leaves at the top.

It is relatively easy to select these branches for cutting and propagation, and the cuttings can take root and sprout in the moist soil.

Cutting propagation can prune more branches to ensure survival. Proper pruning of camellias in summer will promote more branches and will not affect the next flowering of camellias. Branches need to be properly stained with rooting powder before cutting the soil.

Each cutting branch should be cut in a small flowerpot, do not choose too large container, the soil with perlite + peat soil + vermiculite mixed soil cultivation, you can add some river sand, if you use a large pot cutting a lot of branches is also possible, there should be appropriate spacing.

Leave a few leaves on the top of the cutting branches for photosynthesis to avoid leaving too many leaves, otherwise it is easy to dehydrate, it is difficult to root, too many leaves will affect rooting and sprouting.

After that, it is necessary to keep the soil moist, but not too moist, the soil can be pinched into a mass, but can not squeeze out water, this state is the best.

The cultivation of camellia also needs to maintain a warm environment to avoid the maintenance temperature is too low, they need more heat to sprout and take root.

Also pay attention to maintain a certain amount of air humidity to avoid excessive dryness, and the next step is to keep it in a bright and ventilated environment.

I prefer to use red pottery cuttings to propagate camellias. These are the branches I cut. I cut off some of the big leaves at the top, leaving only about 2 to 1, so as to prevent too many leaves and absorb moisture away. You know, branches need a lot of water to take root.

Novice cutting propagation of camellia branches, be sure to prepare some rooting powder, rooting powder can be made into a solution soaking branches, soaking for about 15 minutes, can also be directly dipped with a little rooting powder at the bottom of the branches, directly cut into the soil.

The above is a charming golden camellia, isn't it wonderful? It is a variety of camellia that blossoms from winter to spring. It can grow to more than 2 to 4 meters tall. It is a shrubby camellia variety with high ornamental quality.
