How many days does golden tea water?
As a rare plant unique to the Theaceae family in our country, golden Camellia is favored by horticulture enthusiasts for its golden flowers and unique ornamental value. Mastering scientific watering methods is the key to maintaining golden scented tea. This article will proceed from the perspective of climate changes throughout the four seasons to deeply analyze the watering cycle and maintenance points of golden scented tea. Analysis of the core principles for watering Golden Camellia japonica. Golden Camellia japonica has typical characteristics of being wet and waterlogging, and its developed fleshy root system can withstand a waterlogging environment in the short term. However, long-term accumulation of water will lead to a decrease in soil oxygen content. Therefore, the basic principle of "seeing dry, seeing wet" must be followed, and it is best to maintain soil moisture at 60-70%. Detailed explanation of the watering cycle in the four seasons: maintenance during the spring germination period (March to May) During the spring germination period, the watering frequency of 3 days per time should be maintained, and the water volume should be gradually increased in conjunction with the rising temperature. Before and after Qingming Festival, the rapid growth period is entered. It is recommended to use dipping basin method to ensure that the deep soil is moist. Watering in the morning can prevent excessive temperature differences from damaging the root system. Summer water control techniques (June-August) The rainy season for plum blossoms in the south needs to be reduced to 5-7 days per time, and the watering rhythm of potted plants in the north should be maintained for 2 days per time. Pay special attention to avoid the high temperature period at noon, choose to water before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m., and use foliar spray to maintain 80% air humidity. Key points for water replenishment in autumn (September to November) During the golden growth period when the temperature is 20-25℃, it is recommended to irrigate through water for 3-5 days per time. Focus on observing that water needs to be replenished when the surface of the basin soil is 1 cm dry. A small amount of ferrous sulfate (0.2% concentration) can be added to adjust the soil pH to pH 5.5 -6.5. Winter dormant period management (December-February) controls watering to 5-7 days per time, and uses warm water at 20-25℃ to slowly water along the basin wall. Keep the ambient temperature ≥5℃, and cover with pine needle soil can improve soil thermal insulation. When the air is dry, 40% humidity can be maintained through a humidifier. Advanced scientific watering tips recommend using soft water with an EC value of <0.5ms/cm for irrigation, rainwater or cold boiled water is the best. Add 30% leguminous leaf soil to improve water retention when changing pots every year, and 3cm of ceramite can be placed in potted plants to enhance drainage. Combined with soil hygrometer monitoring, water should be replenished immediately when the value drops to 30%.
By mastering seasonal characteristics and quantitative management indicators, and regularly observing plant status (new leaf unfolding speed, number of flower bud differentiation), a personalized watering plan can be established. Remember the golden rule of "moisten but not wet" and let the golden tea bloom with a brighter golden brilliance.
