Keep in mind that the leaves of the camellias are bigger than the palms.

Camellia is one of the four famous flowers in China, although it is rich, not a demon. If well maintained, the same camellia can bloom in several colors, which looks particularly delicate from a distance. What do you need to pay attention to in protecting camellias?

The conservation method of camellias has been handed down from ancient times, and there has been a lot of conservation experience. The flower proverb says "Yin camellias, yang peonies". It can be seen that if you want to raise camellias well, you must use the word "Yin" well. First of all, let's understand the habits of camellias: like warm, humid and semi-shady environment, afraid of high temperature and strong light exposure, remember to dry and stagnant water. How to cultivate camellias in the shade?

1. Control light. All plants need photosynthesis, camellias like shade, the demand for light is relatively less, generally as long as let camellias bask in the sun before 10:00 in the morning. If it is balcony maintenance, you can choose to put the north balcony or southwest balcony to avoid camellias being exposed to the sun all day. If it is exposed, do not expose yourself to the sun at noon. You can pull a sunshade net to block the camellias.

2. Choose soil.

Camellia's favorite soil is the fertile, loose slightly acidic soil, which can be evenly mixed with garden soil, rotten leaf soil and appropriate amount of river sand. If the soil is alkaline or hardened, camellias will easily lose their leaves or buds, which is often encountered by friends in the north.

Camellias like fertilizer, and can basically absorb the nutrients of the soil after two or three months of planting, so be sure to topdressing in time. Camellia mainly has three fertilization times, the first time is about April, fertilizing after anthesis is carried out to promote the growth of new shoots; the second time is in June, topdressing improves the ability of drought resistance and secondary shoot germination; the third time is in September, fertilizing is carried out to improve the ability of cold resistance.

According to the principle of applying fertilizer frequently, we can choose the organic nutrient solution that flowers know how to be acidic, use it once every 15 days, and irrigate the soil after mixing the nutrient solution with water 1000 times. While supplying nutrients to camellias, it can also improve the soil quality, make the soil acidic, improve soil fertility and promote flowering.

3. Watering. The last point of shady cultivation of camellias is watering to create a moist growth environment for camellias. Camellia bogey dry, and can not accumulate water, watering is a technical work. When the soil of the camellia pot "cannot afford to be peeled or wet into mud", it is necessary to water the camellias.

If you do not know how to judge the dry and wet condition of the basin soil, you can use a flower and plant detector to help. As long as you insert it into the soil, you can see the changes in soil water and fertilizer data caused by environmental changes, and the temperature changes can also be monitored. Very simple and convenient.

For daily maintenance of camellias, you can also spray water and moisturize the air around camellias from time to time, or put a basin of water around camellias to increase air humidity and make the growth environment of camellias in a moist state. Camellias will grow better!
