What is the reason why the camellia buds are dry and falling off, and the camellia leaves and stems are red?

As a landscaping staff member with many years of experience in growing camellias, I can tell you responsibly that the drying and falling of camellia buds is generally caused by the following three reasons: 1. Camellia falls Analysis of the causes of flower buds:

Before answering the question, according to the picture provided by the questioner, your pot seems to be a bit too small. If possible, you can consider changing to a slightly larger pot. When changing the pot, loosen the pot soil. The roots are breathable. Sometimes camellias lose buds because they are too dry and are not watered in time, but sometimes they are overwatered and cause root rot. From the perspective of leaf viewing: if the leaf tips are withered and black, it means root rot. At this time, it is necessary to change the pot in time. If the entire leaf turns yellow, and it starts from the base of the leaf, it is drought, and water needs to be replenished in time.

Judging from the picture, the leaf stems are red. This should be because it was too dry last time and lacked water. Although you watered it later, you watered it a little late. In order to protect itself, the plant lost its adaptability. Flower buds and leaf stems are red. What you need to do now is to spray water on the leaves regularly. Camellia prefers a humid environment, but be careful to keep the remaining water on the leaves dry in time after two hours of watering.

Another reason is that insufficient fertilization is applied before the buds are pregnant, resulting in insufficient nutrient supply for the flower buds and a large number of drops. Personally, I think the question is most likely due to the third reason, which is failure to fertilize in time. 2. Some suggestions for Camellia buds falling off:

1. During the bud-pregnancy period, appropriate lighting should be provided in time to ensure adequate supply of fertilizers. In addition, pay attention to watering less. For old branches, weak branches, and diseased branches, Cut off all diseased leaves to reduce excessive consumption of nutrients and enhance the permeability of the entire plant.

2. Water less during the flowering period, and the flowers and leaves should not be exposed to water. After the flowers wither, the remaining flowers should be cut off in time. In addition, try not to fertilize during the flowering period. If you find that there are few flowers, you can add a small amount of potassium dihydrogen phosphate when watering to promote flowering and maintain normal flowering and growth.

The above are my views and suggestions on camellias losing their buds. If you have any better methods and maintenance questions, let’s discuss them together.
