How many times does the camellia bloom in a year?
For most women, how many times the camellia blooms in a year and the detailed introduction of the flowering period of green plants and flowers, we will learn about it together next.
The camellia has a certain ornamental value, and it is usually cultivated outdoors, but it only looks more beautiful when it flowers. Therefore, many people want to know when the camellia blooms, so they can appreciate the beautiful flowers when it's time to bloom. So, how many times does the camellia bloom in a year? Let's find out with the editor next.
【One, When does the camellia bloom?】
The growth and flowering period of camellia is long, but it usually starts blooming in October. If well-maintained, it can bloom earlier, and the blooming period is usually from January to March. Some may even bloom in May, but this is relatively rare and requires careful maintenance, and the growing environment for blooming also has high requirements.
Actually, the blooming time of camellia is also related to climatic reasons. The temperature in different regions will affect the blooming of flowers. For example, the temperature in the northern regions is relatively cold, so the blooming time is relatively later. If you cultivate orchids in the southern regions, they may bloom earlier. Therefore, the blooming of camellia is closely related to temperature.
【Two, How many times does the camellia bloom in a year?】
The camellia only blooms once in spring, so it blooms at least once a year. If you want the camellia to bloom twice a year, you must choose a more expensive flower variety. After the first blooming in early spring, move the camellia indoors and keep increasing the temperature to around 25°C to make the tender branches mature and stop growing as soon as possible.
How many times does the camellia bloom in a year?
And it is necessary to change the pot at least once a year because after the camellia blooms, the nutrients in the soil have been exhausted. The pot-changing time can be chosen at the end of autumn or the beginning of winter or early spring. Changing the pot during high temperatures or cold periods can easily lead to plant shrinkage, which is not conducive to the recovery and growth of the plant. This point should be noted.
【Three, Maintenance techniques after the camellia blooms】
<1, Timely fertilization>
After the camellia blooms, the demand for fertilizer is also high because the camellia consumes a lot of nutrients from bud formation to flower shedding. To quickly restore the tree's vigor, fertilization is necessary. Avoid using concentrated or raw fertilizers to avoid root rot. At the same time, you can also use 0.2% phosphorus acid hydrogen potassium for root external topdressing, spraying once every ten days, for a total of 5 times, to promote the thickening of spring shoots and improve the ability to form buds.
<2, Moderate watering>
In mid-April, the camellia's spring shoots start growing, but the climate is dry and the air humidity is low at this time, so it is necessary to water moderately. Spray water on the leaves once or twice a day to increase the local air humidity, which is beneficial for plant growth.
