Matters needing attention in culturing Camellia

Camellia, also known as Camellia, is an evergreen shrub of the genus Camellia. Camellia has high ornamental value and is cultivated in different areas in various parts of our country. Secondly, camellia also has a very high use value, the camellia oil in our daily life is extracted from camellia seeds. It also has certain medicinal value, and it is a kind of flower with high economic value. What the editor would like to introduce to you today is the matters needing attention in cultivating camellias. Let's take a look at them together.

1. Temperature

Camellia requires a high temperature, it is a temperature-loving plant, about 22 degrees is the most suitable temperature range for the growth of camellia. Temperature discomfort will inhibit the growth of camellia. Especially when the temperature is extremely low in winter, the temperature must be increased in time, otherwise it will lead to freezing injury and death of camellia plants. However, in summer, we should also avoid the sun shining directly on the plant, and do a good job of shading properly.

2. Soil

Because camellia is fond of fat flowers, it is necessary to build the garden on a soil with sufficient fertility and loose soil, and the pH of the soil is about 6. Can not be partial alkali, partial alkali is not conducive to the growth of camellia, choose a good soil and then build a garden is the first step of breeding camellia is also an important step. Because the choice of soil is directly related to the growth ability of camellia.

3. Topdressing

Camellia is more fond of fertilizer and has a greater demand for fertilizer nutrition. In the process of culture, topdressing should be done in time according to the growth of the plant. In the peak growth period of camellia, it is necessary to increase the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which is beneficial to promote the growth of camellia and improve the flowering rate of camellia. However, when applying fertilizer, we must pay attention to the proportion of dosage and nutrition, too much or too little will have a great impact on the growth of camellia.

4. Moisture

Camellia in the whole growth period of water demand is particularly large, it likes to grow in a humid environment, so in the breeding process must ensure that there is sufficient water to ensure the growth of camellia. However, you can't have too much water, just make sure the soil is moist. But in the hot and dry weather to timely watering, because the temperature is high, the rate of water evaporation will be accelerated, so timely replenishment of water is very important. On the contrary, in a low temperature environment, the watering frequency can be reduced appropriately.

5. Pruning

Proper pruning is also a very important work in culture, and the growth of camellias should be observed at all times. There should not be too many buds on the plant, just like planting fruit, do not leave too much fruit, because the bearing capacity of the plant is so strong, too many flowers will not only consume too much nutrients, but also affect the flowering rate. Therefore, it is necessary to cut off the weak branches and too many buds in time, and concentrate the nutrition on other buds.

The above is a brief introduction to the matters needing attention in the cultivation of camellias. The culture of camellias is very common in China, and there is also a special breeding base. In fact, there is another point that we should pay attention to, that is, the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, the harm of diseases and insect pests is destructive to camellias. So you must pay attention, this is the end of today's introduction, this article is for reference only, thank you for your reading and support.
