How to manage camellias in autumn? Autumn is the second growth period of camellia in a year, which has a great impact on the normal growth and timely flowering of camellias. we should pay attention to the following points: 1. Fertilization: the Mid-Autumn Festival is the best time for camellias to grow in autumn. Fertilization should be timely, with phosphorus, potassium-based flower fertilizer or comprehensive organic fertilizer, can also be rotational application of several fertilizers, every 10 days or so. In late autumn, the growth of camellias slowed down day by day, and the amount of fertilizer needed decreased gradually. In order to meet the nutrient needs of camellias in winter and before and after flowering, organic solid fertilizer, such as chicken manure, was added before winter entered the dormancy period, which not only met the needs of camellia winter (slow) growth, but also enhanced the ability of anti-freezing. 2. Watering: the principle of watering camellias is "dry and thoroughly watered". It is necessary to maintain the principle of not drying and watering thoroughly, so as to keep transpiration normal, so as to facilitate flower bud differentiation and bud protection. Watering camellias depends on the weather and the condition of the soil. The soil is dry, the camellias are growing normally, and the weather is forecast for rain in the near future, so watering can be suspended. 3. Loosen the soil: loosen and break the soil in time. In this way, not only weeds are difficult to survive, but also due to the destruction of capillaries, the moisture in the soil is preserved and the composition of air in the soil is increased, which is very beneficial to the growth of camellias. 4. Thinning buds: generally completed before the middle of October, first cut off thin branches, branches of diseases and insect pests, retain strong branches, and then reduce buds.
