How to make camellia grow flowers and bones
Camellia is favored by horticulture enthusiasts for its colorful flowers, but the maintenance and management of flower buds directly affects the flowering quality. This article systematically analyzes camellia flower promotion techniques and bud thinning methods to help you cultivate high-quality camellia with full flower shape and lasting flowering period. Four elements to promote the growth of Camellia flower buds, precise temperature control promotes flower bud differentiation. Camellia is most likely to form flower buds in an environment of 20-30℃, and needs to maintain a wintering temperature above 10℃ in winter. In late autumn, a simple insulation shed can be built and protected by double-layer sunshade nets to prevent frost from damaging flower buds. Scientific light control ensures scattered light for 6 hours a day in spring and autumn, and uses 50% sunshade net for protection in summer. In October, 2 hours of morning light irradiation are needed during the flower bud differentiation period, which can effectively improve the bud formation rate. Water gradient management keeps the soil moist and free of water during the growth period, and the "dry-wet alternating method" is used during the flower bud incubation period: the topsoil is dried by 3 centimeters and then irrigated with water to stimulate root development. Combine it with morning and evening leaf spray to maintain 65% air humidity. Accurate nutrition supply: Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (concentration 0.2%) is applied every week from August to September, and decomposed bone meal (50g per plant) is added in October. Stop applying nitrogen fertilizer after buds appear and use alginic acid foliar fertilizer to enhance flower bud development. Camellia bud thinning management dual core scientific bud thinning timing and method When the bud diameter reaches 1cm, the dominant bud at the top is retained, and pruned according to the principle of "removing the small and retaining the large, removing the dense and retaining the sparse." Keep 2-3 plump flower buds per branch, with spacing of more than 5 cm to ensure nutrient concentration (G-Y). Key points for maintenance after bud thinning After pruning, spray carbendazim promptly for disinfection, and apply slow-release compound fertilizer. Maintain the temperature difference between day and night of 8-10℃ to enhance plant stress resistance. Regularly inspect the back of leaves to prevent infection by pests and diseases such as red spiders.
Through the coordinated control of temperature, light, water and fertilizer, and scientific bud thinning management, camellia can not only achieve more buds, but also ensure the quality of flowering. It is recommended to record plant growth data every month and establish a personalized maintenance plan so that camellia blooms year after year.
