How to raise camellia?

In winter, a camellia must be planted. There is heavy snow in the sky and camellia on the ground is in full bloom. This is a rare sight. Camellia is a small shrub flower with strong adaptability to the environment, which blooms for a long time. From 1 1 in winter to March and April of the following year.

Camellia has an advantage that it is not afraid of cold. You can maintain it outdoors in winter, and you can still spend the winter outdoors without moving home. The petals of camellia can still bloom at low temperature and are not affected by climate change. Camellia can survive in the low temperature of-10 degrees.

Camellia has four major preferences, like warm light, like acidic flower soil, like fat, like snowy days.

The optimum growth temperature of camellia is 23-25 degrees Celsius. Some areas have strong sunlight and high temperature in summer. In this environment, it is necessary to shade camellia. If the temperature is too high, it is easy to cause camellia leaves to turn yellow. Potted camellias can be shaded by shading nets, and camellias planted on the ground need watering to cool down.

Camellia has requirements for soil pH, and acidic soil is more suitable for camellia to grow and bloom. Two kinds of fertilizers are needed at the beginning of flowering, one is ferrous sulfate and the other is compound fertilizer. Ferrous sulfate can improve soil pH, and compound fertilizer can provide nutrients for camellia, and avoid bud loss and flower shortage.

Potted camellia does not need peel water and rice washing water. For a small shrub like camellia, it is useless to use the fermented peel water, and ferrous sulfate must be used to adjust the pH of the soil.

Why does camellia like heavy snow?

Low temperature weather is more suitable for camellia flowering, with high humidity, low temperature and good ventilation. Snow water is "soft water" and contains almost no alkaline substances. After the snow melts, it moistens the soil and is more conducive to the growth of camellia.

Camellia has "two taboos", so you should pay attention to it when maintaining it. A slight negligence may cause the yellow leaves and buds to fall off.

Avoid indiscriminate use of fertilizers:

Attention should be paid to raising camellia, and fertilization must not be indiscriminate. Camellia is still very sensitive to chemical fertilizers. With more fertilizer, the number of petals of camellia will increase, but the quality of flowering will also decrease. It is not a good thing that a pot of camellia bears hundreds of buds. Sometimes camellia has many buds and needs combing. On the same branch, the number of buds should be kept at 2-3, and more buds should be combed off.

For camellia, only three fertilizers can be used. Using ferrous sulfate can adjust the pH value of soil, compound fertilizer or liquid fertilizer. It is best not to use other fertilizers, and the use frequency of fertilizers should not be too high, which is easy to burn the roots.
