Note: Chidan Camellia is a treasure of camellia, which is divided into East China Camellia, Sichuan Camellia and late Camellia. Its mutant varieties are "Fandan" and "Yuanyangfeng Guan". The market price varies with variety, specification, origin and so on.

Propagation methods of Chidan Camellia

1. Cutting propagation: the most suitable cuttings of Chidan camellia are in the middle of June and the end of August. The semi-mature branches of the same year with abundant external tissue, complete leaves and full leaf buds are selected as cuttings, which begin to heal about 3 weeks after cutting, and take root after 6 weeks. When the root is 3-4 cm long, it is transplanted into the pot.

2. Striping propagation: in the rainy season, Chidan camellia is propagated with a robust annual branch, 20 cm from the top, peeled in a ring shape, 1 cm wide, bound with rotten leaf soil and covered with plastic film, and rooting after about 60 days, which can be directly potted after cutting, and the survival rate is very high.

The Culture method of Chidan Camellia

1. Soil: Chidan camellias have high requirements for soil. Generally, the soil contains high humus, the PH value is between 5 and 6.5, and is slightly acidic. The best soil configuration is 50% of mountain soil, 40% of sawdust or edible fungus residue, 10% of cake fertilizer powder or livestock manure and phosphorus fertilizer powder.

2. Lighting: Chidan camellias are semi-negative flowers, which need to be shaded in summer. When the Beginning of Autumn enters the flower bud differentiation period, the whole plant should be exposed to sufficient light gradually, and it should be placed in a place with sufficient indoor sunshine in winter. if the indoor light is too weak, it will grow poorly and easily get diseases and insect pests.

3, temperature: Chidan camellias like warmth, afraid of cold, indoor temperature can not be lower than 5 ℃, temperature 10 ℃ to 15 ℃ if other measures are appropriate, the Spring Festival can blossom, flowering can be until March.

4. Watering: the watering of Chidan camellias in winter depends on the indoor temperature, usually about once every 3 days, keep the basin soil moist, avoid stagnant water or pour half of the water, it is better to put 1% ferrous sulfate in the water to improve the water quality.

5. Fertilization: Chidan camellias like fertilizer and apply sufficient base fertilizer when potting or changing pots. Due to the rapid development of flower buds in autumn and winter, they should be irrigated with rotten light liquid fertilizer once a week and topdressing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once or twice. Too much nitrogen fertilizer is easy to scorch the flower buds, but less or no fertilization can be applied after flowering.

6. Turning the basin: Chidan camellia can turn the basin once every two years, and the new pot should be larger than the old pot No. 1 to facilitate the expansion and development of the root system. The turning time should be in April in spring, combined with soil exchange to remove part of the consolidated old soil, replace with fertile and loose new soil and combine with the placement of base fertilizer.

Disease and Pest Control of Chidan Camellia

1. Anthrax

Anthracnose often occurs at leaf margin, leaf tip and both sides of leaf vein. Dark green markings appear at first, and then gradually expand into irregular Taipan, the color from brown to black, serious can spread to the whole leaf, causing a large number of fallen leaves.

[control] thoroughly remove the diseased leaves, cut off the diseased branches in winter, spray 1% Bordeaux solution before the disease period every year, spray 600 times chlorothalonil solution once a week, and spray 0.15% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution before the leaves are unfolded.

2. Algal class disease

[harm] Disease spots can appear on both sides of the leaf, but mainly on the leaf surface. At the beginning, it was a small gray-green dot in the shape of a needle, and then gradually expanded outward in the form of radiation, forming an approximate round or irregular spot.

[prevention and control] strengthen cultivation management, reasonable fertilization, timely pruning, avoid camellia woodland too shaded, ventilated and transparent, in order to improve camellia resistance, can be sprayed with 0.2-0.5% copper sulfate solution.

3. Withered branch disease

[harm] the damaged branches were necrotic, the leaves changed from green to yellowish, dried up and fell off gradually from the top down, and finally the whole branch withered and died.

[prevention and control] before sprouting and sprouting, the fungicides such as methyl topiramate, thiram and chlorothalonil should be sprayed, especially to ensure the spraying of the branch wound.

4. Root rot

[harm] the roots of the damaged plants rotted and turned black, the leaves turned yellow, the tip died, the flower buds fell, and the plants gradually withered and died.

[prevention and control] excavate the diseased plant and the bacteria-carrying soil near it in time and disinfect the soil around the diseased plant with 1% copper sulfate solution, while keeping the soil draining well and strictly preventing stagnant water in the cultivated land.

5. Red leaf spot

[harm] most of the disease spots occur on tender leaves, which are light brown round watery spots at first, and then spread. Sometimes several disease classes synthesize larger patches or spread throughout the leaves, causing a large number of scorched and shedding leaves.

[prevention and treatment] at the initial stage of the disease, 70% methyl topiramate 1000-1500 times or 25% carbendazim 400 times can be sprayed for prevention and control.

6. Flower rot

[harm] the injured flowers first appear small brown spots, and then gradually expand until the whole flower turns brown and withered.

[prevention and treatment] when it is found that the camellias infected with this disease should be removed in time and burned centrally, fungicides such as carbendazim can be used to spray buds for 2 or 3 times before flowering.

7. Bituminous coal disease

[harm] the surface of damaged camellia leaves is covered with a layer of bacterial hyphae, forming a black "bituminous coal" layer, which hinders the normal photosynthesis and gas exchange of camellia plants and seriously hinders its growth and development.

[control] the main pests causing bituminous coal disease are aphids and scale insects, so in order to control this disease, we must first control camellia aphids and scale insects.
