1. Soil, Camellia cultivation, soil selection is very important, first of all, we must understand the growth habits of Camellia, and choose slightly acidic soil with high humus content.
2. Temperature, the most suitable growth temperature of camellia is 18-25 degrees. High temperature in summer or winter is not conducive to the growth of camellia, so it is necessary to carry out sun protection and antifreeze.
3. Water, camellia should grow in a humid environment, water more in spring and summer, less in winter, and keep the soil not too dry or too wet.
4. Fertilization, it is necessary to apply appropriate amount of fertilizer if the camellia is beautiful in bloom. Adding phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in the growth period can make the camellia flourish in bloom, but not too much.
5. Pruning, in order to keep camellia ornamental, it is necessary to prune it regularly, mainly pruning weak branches and poorly growing buds, which can make the plants concentrate on absorbing nutrients.
6. Pests and diseases, camellia may have some diseases in the process of breeding, such as black mold, anthracnose, etc., and some fungicides can be sprayed appropriately to avoid further spread of diseases.
Precautions for Camellia:
1, Camellia likes the growth environment of semi-shade and semi-sunshine, but due to its poor ability to adapt to the environment, it is not allowed to change the placement direction at will to avoid the leaves falling off;
2. Camellia root system is fragile, so it is forbidden to use alkaline soil for breeding. It is best to change the pot soil every two or three years, and add some base fertilizer to the newly changed soil;
3. Camellia is a fleshy root, so do not water or fertilize it too much to avoid root rot;
4. Camellia should not be pruned intensively. Its flowers, leaves and buds develop for a long time, and the crown formation is relatively uniform. Basically, there is no need for special pruning, as long as the branches of diseases and insect pests, too dense branches, weak branches and shortened branches are cut off;
5. Camellia is a multi-flowered tree species, especially on plants with weak growth, if the buds are dense, it will consume too much nutrients. Bud picking is an important part of cultivation management, and it is advisable to leave 1-2 buds on each branch, only three at most, and keep a certain distance.
