When do camellias bloom?
If you want to know when camellias bloom and related knowledge about the blooming season of camellias, the following is a comprehensive introduction.
Key point: Let's get familiar with the growth of camellias. Camellias usually bloom in March, which can be earlier or later. After blooming, camellias quickly sprout new buds, then grow many new branches, and by June, the new branches that sprout in the same year begin to differentiate into flower buds. Then, flower buds appear and gradually swell. After stimulation by low temperatures and awakening, they can bloom smoothly in the spring. It takes 7 to 8 months from seeing the flower buds to blooming successfully.
Let's look at the pictures provided by netizens:
The above picture shows a potted camellia nurtured by a netizen, which has提前 (prematurely) undergone flower bud differentiation in May, indicating that the netizen's camellia seedlings are in good condition. Now, flower buds can be seen, although they are still weak at this point. The netizen is concerned about whether they can see the camellias bloom smoothly in autumn, but that's not the case. In fact, autumn is still the period of swelling and bud formation for camellia flower buds.
Will camellias in pots bloom in autumn after premature flower bud differentiation in May?
First of all, it is certain that although flower buds of camellias are now visible, they won't bloom in autumn. Don't worry, camellia flower buds need to absorb for several months before they swell and bloom. Even if they bloom earlier, it will be around the Spring Festival. So, it's best to focus on proper care.
Camellias have already produced flower buds, and now it's the hot summer. The focus is on humidity, light, and nutrition. Avoid direct sunlight, provide scattered light care, pay attention to environmental humidity, keep the potting soil slightly moist, and you can fertilize regularly. However, it is recommended to water mainly with a focus on potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and avoid using compound fertilizers, especially those with a high nitrogen content. Watering once every 20 days is sufficient. Later, if too many flower buds are found, some can be pruned appropriately to ensure the quality of blooming.
