What season does camellia bloom?
If the camellia at home has not changed much over the past two or three years, with few flowers or not enough growth, remember to do one thing, that is, to change the soil, especially if the soil is heavily compacted and very sticky, which is not suitable for its growth.
Generally, changing the pot and soil should be done after the camellia has finished blooming, either in spring or autumn. Regardless of the soil, it is best to add a little bottom fertilizer and make it fertile, loose, and well-aerated. If you don't want to mix the soil yourself, you can also use special camellia soil, which does not compact or become barren.
After changing the soil, it also needs to be fertilized several times later. It will grow well, new leaves will sprout, branches will grow more, and many more flower buds will appear, with green and lush leaves, looking completely different.
Secondly, camellia loves sunlight. Although it can grow normally in semi-shady places, if the light is too weak and clearly insufficient, it will affect its flowering, the color of the flowers will not be so prominent, and the flower buds will not be so large. Therefore, try to expose it to more sunlight, especially in spring and autumn. Although it is not very fond of fertilizer, it still needs some during normal times.
