I. Introduction to Camellias
1. Where is the origin of camellias?
The origin of camellias is in China. There are wild camellias in Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Shandong, and other places in China. Later, they were cultivated extensively in various regions, and now camellias are planted everywhere, just with different varieties.
2. What are the conditions for planting camellias?
Camellia planting requires a warm, humid, and semi-shaded environment to promote growth. However, high temperatures are not conducive to growth and can even cause wilting.
3. What are the methods for planting camellias?
The main methods for planting camellias include cutting, grafting, layering, and sowing.
II. When do camellias usually bloom?
The factors influencing the blooming of camellias are mainly related to the variety and climate. Some camellias bloom early, starting in November, while others bloom later, usually in April-May. This is mainly due to the significant climatic differences between the north and south of China. In the north, November is very cold, with temperatures even dropping below zero, making it impossible for camellias to bloom. In some southern regions, where temperatures are above zero and even above 10 degrees, camellias may bloom in November. Generally, in the Hunan region, camellias bloom in February. The most suitable temperature for camellia blooming is around 10-16 degrees Celsius.
1. In the southern regions, camellias usually bloom in March-April. If the temperature is not very cold that year, the blooming time will be earlier.
2. In the northern regions, camellias usually bloom in April-May. If the temperature is relatively low that year, the blooming time will be postponed.
In summary, camellias usually bloom from February to May. The actual blooming time depends on the conditions of the region where you are located. Since the climate is different every year, the blooming time of camellias may also vary. Specific blooming times should be based on the conditions of your region. If camellias do not bloom after May, it means they will not bloom, and you need to find out the reason for the lack of blooming.
III. When is the best time to transplant camellias?
Camellias are best transplanted in autumn, around October-November, when the temperature is not too low or too high, making it the most suitable time for camellia transplantation. When transplanting, you should cut off any diseased roots and then transplant directly. If transplantation is not carried out for a long time, it can lead to the withering of the seedlings. When transplanting, be sure to pay attention to the following points.
1. The choice of soil for camellia transplantation is best with mountain yellow soil, which can be planted in front of the house.
2. The temperature requirement for camellia transplantation is best at 15 degrees. If the temperature is low, you need to do a good job of keeping warm. You can wrap it with straw or plastic film to prevent frostbite.
3. After camellia transplantation, do not water too much, just the right amount, and apply a small amount of farmyard manure.
