The Cultivation and Management Methods of Golden Camellia
Compared to the cultivation and management methods of Golden Camellia and the related topics of flower cultivation such as the propagation methods of Golden Camellia cuttings for most people, we will next explore these topics together.
Golden Camellia, many people associate it with the camellias planted on our mountains. Although they both belong to the Camellia family, there are significant differences, and we cannot cultivate Golden Camellia in the same way as we do with camellias. Let's learn about the cultivation and care methods of Golden Camellia today!
1. It needs a suitable environment. Golden Camellia prefers to grow in semi-shaded, cool, and humid areas, in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It enjoys sunlight, fertilizer, can tolerate waterlogging, and requires regular ventilation, especially in the north. In addition to the boiler and radiators for heating in the glass greenhouse, facilities such as a homemade atomizer and exhaust fan are also installed.
2. Use pine needle soil prepared in proportion.
3. The water used for watering flowers must be mixed with 1% ferrous sulfate each time to maintain a certain level of weak acidity in the water.
4. In addition to good environmental ventilation, it also needs regular "physical exercise", being blown with wind once every two weeks, and the wind should be evenly distributed. The purpose is to promote balanced metabolism and normal development through "exercise".
5. Control the temperature, with a temperature difference of 7°C to 10°C. When the greenhouse temperature reaches 20°C, the sunshade cloth should be lowered after four to five hours, followed by ventilation.
6. Fertilization, Golden Camellia can tolerate poor soil but also enjoys fertilizer. Generally, fertilize 2 to 4 times before flowers (October to November) and after flowers (April to May). The main fertilizers used are compound fertilizers, compost, and combined with an appropriate amount of phosphorus fertilizers. Fertilizing once a month is sufficient.
7. Diseases and pests, the diseases of Golden Camellia include anthracnose, sooty mold, leaf blight, and bud blight, which can be treated with a 70% methyl thiophanate 800x diluted solution for foliar spray in the early stages of the disease, once every 5 to 7 days, for 3 consecutive sprays.
