Raising a pot of camellia at home does it feel beautiful and a little headache? Don't worry, let me give you advice and make your camellia bloom like a sea of flowers in spring, so beautiful! The soil, camellia "bottom"
camellia is like a little princess, the "bottom" requirements can be high. You have to find her a slightly acidic, fertile, and breathable soil. The pH value is between 5.5 and 6.5, the texture should be soft, and the water absorption and drainage should be good, so that the root system can grow strong. I remember to change the basin for her every 1-3 years and change it to a bigger one so that she can grow up comfortably. Light, Camellia's "sunshine bath"
Camellia likes to bask in the sun, but is afraid of sunburn. You have to find a place where she can get the sun without being exposed directly. In spring and autumn, the sun is soft and allows her to enjoy it; in summer, she has to build an awning to avoid being burned by the scorching sun. Remember, keep the shade at 40%-60% so she can grow lush. Temperature, Camellia's "little stove"
Camellia is a little guy who is afraid of cold and likes warmth. The most suitable growth temperature is 15-25℃ and relative humidity is 60%-65%. In winter, don't let her freeze, the lowest temperature should not be lower than 5℃; in summer, the highest temperature should not exceed 38℃, otherwise her little face will get sunburned. Moisture, the "source of life" of camellia Water is as important to camellia as human drinking water. In winter, the soil should be dry and in summer, the soil should be wet. Water thoroughly, but not too much, otherwise the roots will rot. In spring and autumn, morning and afternoon are good times to water. Fertilizer, the "nutritious meal" of camellia. During camellia growth, regular fertilization should be applied to supplement her nutrients. Spring and autumn are critical periods for fertilization, and you can choose organic fertilizers or compound fertilizers. Before flowering, properly apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to make her flowers more beautiful. Pruning, the "beautician" of camellia grows fast, so it must be pruned in time to maintain the shape of the plant. Light pruning can be carried out in spring and autumn to remove dead leaves and overly dense branches; moderate pruning can be carried out in summer and early autumn to promote the flourishing growth of camellia; in winter, pruning should be avoided to avoid damaging the plants. Pest and pest control, Camellia's "health doctor" is vulnerable to pests such as aphids and red spiders. It must be discovered in time and taken measures to prevent and control it. Biological control methods can be used, such as stocking ladybugs and other natural enemies; chemical pesticides can also be used for control, but attention should be paid to the use method and dose to avoid causing harm to camellia.
Raising camellia is really a technical job, but as long as you put your heart into it, it will definitely bring you endless surprises. Watching her grow from tender bud to full bloom, do you think everything is worth it? Come and give it a try and turn your home into a beautiful sea of flowers!
