Propagation methods and points for attention of Camellia oleifera

Camellia oleifera generally blossoms from November to February of the following year. If there are seeds, you can choose the sowing method to propagate. But many flower friends' tea plum may not necessarily encounter the situation of seed setting, so more flower friends will choose the method of cutting to propagate tea plum.

Tea plum

Camellia oleifera can be propagated by cutting, grafting, pressing and sowing, and it is generally multipurpose. Cuttings are more commonly used because of their simple operation, fast growth and large reproduction.

From early June to late August every year, the temperature is high and the air humidity is high, during which cutting is beneficial to rooting. Cuttings should be used to cut semi-mature annual branches from perennial healthy mother trees. The appropriate length is 5-10 cm, leaving 2-3 upper leaflets, the lower end of the smooth slant and cut with the insert. The cuttings were carried out in May, and the cuttings selected the strong branches on the mother plant for more than 5 years, slept at the base, cut off the redundant leaves in the lower part, and retained 2 Mel and 3 leaves. Short ears with single buds can also be cut as cuttings and cut as they are cut. Insert bed to shade, after about 20-30 days can take root, sooner or later gradually through the light. The seedlings can be transplanted or potted in the second year.

Tea plums are often planted in pots in the family. Spread the drainage layer in the clean basin, and then install 50% sand, 20% yellow mud 110% rotten leaf soil, 20% coke mud ash culture soil, insert 3 cm deep, the leaves between the cuttings do not overlap. After insertion, the ill is compacted by hand and sprayed with a fine-hole spray can or soaked with water, then covered with a thin film cover and placed in a cool and ventilated place. It began to take root in about 20-30 days, shaded during the day within three weeks after insertion, opened the cover film at night, scattered sunlight in the morning and evening in about 20 days, removed the film after rooting, appropriately increased light and sprayed water and applied thin fertilizer at the right time.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of tea plum

Camellia oleifera is a common ornamental plant distributed in southern China. It has elegant leaves, bright flowers and a long flowering period. It is a characteristic plant that integrates ornamental flowers and foliage. It is usually suitable to be potted and cultivated at home. But do you know how to cultivate tea plums? Do you know what you should pay attention to in culturing tea plum? If you don't know, hurry up and get to know with the editor.

Culture methods of tea plum

1. Soil

At ordinary times, when cultivating tea plum, we must choose a suitable soil, the soil should be loose and fertile, and the drainage is smooth, it is best to use rotten leaf soil and peat soil together to make cultivation land. And when cultivating tea plum, you should choose an one with strong water absorption, and cover the bottom of the flowerpot with coarse sand, which is conducive to air permeability and drainage.

2. Appropriate fertilization

At ordinary times, when cultivating tea plum, it must be fertilized appropriately, because it does not have high requirements for fertilizer, especially in its seedling stage, otherwise it will affect its seedling growth, and for tea plum that has just been transplanted, it should not be fertilized prematurely, otherwise it will burn roots and let the plant die.

3. Culture environment

Tea plum must be cultured in a suitable environment at ordinary times. It is a kind of shade-loving plant. It must be shaded in time in summer and high temperature. Even after entering the cold winter, tea plum can not be placed directly under strong light, otherwise its leaves will appear curly, and the number of flowers will be significantly reduced.

Matters needing attention in culture

Tea plum culture must pay attention to moderate watering, can not let the basin soil too wet, otherwise it will affect the permeability of the soil, if too much watering, but also easy to cause disease, under normal circumstances, every 4 to 5 days watering can, but in hot summer weather, need to spray water to the plant leaves every day. In addition, the cultivation of tea plum to use the new flowerpot is to soak the flowerpot in clear water for 24 hours, let the pot heat out before you can plant tea plum, otherwise it is very difficult for tea plum to survive.

How to raise tea plum culture methods and matters needing attention

Tea plum, also known as small tea plum. There are also many people like it, do you know how to raise tea plums? Next, let's take a look at the breeding methods and precautions of tea plum.

The culture method 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 tea plum, and lime soil is more taboo. 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: watering is appropriate to keep the basin soil moist without stagnant water. It can be irrigated 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. Sunlight: tea plum is a semi-negative 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. Camellia oleifera has strong cold tolerance and can be kept in a cold room of more than 2 ℃ in winter.

5. Fertilization: fertilization should be light and fully mature. The root system will be burned if raw fertilizer or thick fertilizer is applied. In particular, one-or two-year-old seedlings, the root system is tender and weak, but also can not apply thick fertilizer. In general, a dilute nitrogen fertilizer is applied from February to March to promote the growth of branches and leaves; a thin cake fertilizer is applied from April to May to facilitate flower bud differentiation; and 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate is applied from September to October to promote the flowers to be large and colorful.

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 plums, like camellias, also need to sparse buds and cut off residual flowers in time to reduce nutrient consumption. Generally, each branch leaves 1 flower bud, and the rest are sparse, so that nutrients are concentrated, and the flowers are 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.

Points for attention in the culture of tea plum:

Tea plum likes yin, and the growth conditions of half-yin and half-yang are better. Too much light will burn the buds and leaves, resulting in leaf roll shedding, but in order to bloom luxuriantly, reasonable light is necessary.

When selecting the basin, it should be noted that the new basin should be soaked in water for more than 24 hours, it can only be used after complete annealing, and the old basin should be thoroughly cleaned to avoid spreading the virus. Do not choose lime soil. It is impossible to cultivate a hundred kinds of limestone soil.
