Camellia originated in eastern China, and is suitable for warm and humid environment with good air circulation and sufficient light. It likes wet, afraid of waterlogging, afraid of wind and sun, and resistant to heat and cold. It should be planted in the courtyard in the south and potted indoors in the north.

Wonderful hands in flowers

1. Pot soil: Camellia is suitable for growing in acidic red clay in southern China. When planting in the northern region, peat soil, humus soil and sandy soil can be mixed and mixed with a small amount of base fertilizer for planting. Potting can be done with clay tile pots, clay pots and purple sand pots with good permeability and deep pots.

2. Watering: Camellia likes the pot soil to be slightly wet, and avoid water accumulation in the pot soil, and the pot soil is dry and wet. Generally, water more in spring to facilitate germination and shoot. Spray more water in summer and autumn to make the air moist. Water should be properly controlled in winter to prevent plants from freezing injury. Camellia requires high water quality, and neutral and alkaline water are not conducive to plant growth. The daily water for watering flowers should be kept for about 2 days, so that the chlorine in the water can be volatilized, and ferrous sulfate accounting for about 0.5% of the water can also be added.

It is a good thing that Camellia grows new leaves, and hope can only be seen when there are new leaves, because the flowers bloom on new branches. Under normal circumstances, buds appear in spring, and then the leaves are spread out for branches. After June, flower buds differentiate, and after half a year's pregnancy buds expand, they bloom directly and smoothly after the spring. If there are no new branches, there will be basically no flowers in the coming year.

Let's look at the pictures provided by netizens:

The above picture shows the camellia potted plants maintained by netizens. It can be seen that the seedlings are not big, belonging to small crown seedlings, and the branches are still ok. Two old branches have sprouted shoots, and two old branches have not moved, indicating that they are still ready to go. As long as the nutrition and water are properly supplied and the environmental humidity is enough, new shoots will basically grow.

According to netizens, the shoots are too long, and the crown is not beautiful. I want to make the shoots shorter by topping. Is this ok? Obviously, don't prune, don't prune, just maintain it normally. If you prune the new branches, you won't be able to see them in the coming year.

Camellia has finally grown new branches, and the flower friends have a coquettish operation, and the next year, Ye Mao will not see flowers.

I don't recommend that netizens prune new branches, but just maintain them normally. Otherwise, next year, don't ask why only the long leaves of Camellia don't bloom. The later maintenance is very important, because there are still two branches that don't grow new buds in the next flower bud differentiation period, so try to supply thin fertilizer for many times, so that each old branch will sprout new buds. After all the new branches emerge, it will be changed to phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to ensure the smooth flowering of Camellia.
