When does the camellia flower bloom?
Do you know this? Information about the blooming period of camellias and the knowledge of flowers and plants related to the blooming period of southern camellias, specifically as follows:
Camellia, also known as the common camellia, is a very common flowering plant and one of China's "traditional famous flowers." It has lush and glossy leaves, and its flower shapes are colorful, ranging from single to double petals, with many color options such as red, purple, white, yellow, and so on. Common varieties include Eighteen Scholars, Six Cornered Red, Red Peony, White Treasure, Flowering Peony, Lady Kailun, etc. The peak blooming period of camellias is usually from January to March every year, but they only bloom once a year, and the period for forming buds is long, so blooming is not easy;
Now it is the blooming period of camellias, and most of the camellias in home potted plants have already bloomed. During the peak blooming period of camellias, what we need to do is to extend the blooming period. The blooming period of a single camellia flower is about ten days, which is related to the variety itself. In addition to the variety, it is also greatly related to daily maintenance. Below, I share the maintenance tips for camellia blooming, which can greatly extend the blooming period.
I. Maintenance Temperature;
The blooming period of camellias is greatly related to the maintenance temperature. High temperature will affect the blooming period of camellias. When camellias enter the blooming period, if the maintenance temperature is above 20 degrees, the blooming period of camellias will be significantly shortened. Especially when the maintenance temperature is above 25 degrees, even camellias with a longer blooming period may drop within two to three days. The suitable maintenance temperature for most camellias during the blooming period is 10-15 degrees. Therefore, attention should be paid to the maintenance temperature after camellias bloom. If the maintenance temperature is too high, you can move the plant to a location away from radiators or air conditioner outlets, which can greatly extend the blooming period.
But some friends say that their camellias do not bloom even after the buds show color. This is because camellias need a long time to bloom, and it is also related to temperature. Low temperature makes it difficult for camellia buds to open. Therefore, the blooming period of camellias is from January to March every year. Most normally maintained camellias bloom around March, when the temperature begins to rise, and the camellia buds can open smoothly.
II. Watering;
During the blooming period, camellias require attention to water, including watering and air humidity. First, let's talk about watering. Camellias should not be overwatered during the blooming period, as excessive watering can cause root hypoxia and lead to the dropping of flower buds, which will greatly shorten the viewing period. The most common situation is that too much water is poured the day before, and the water cannot evaporate in time, causing a large number of flowers to fall the next or third day. If the watering amount during the blooming period is not well controlled, it is better to keep the soil slightly dry, as this prevents the dropping of flower buds and can extend the blooming period.
Next is air humidity. Camellias have high requirements for air humidity. However, during the blooming period, you cannot spray water on the flowers. You can spray water around the camellias to increase humidity. In addition to not spraying water on the flowers, you should also prevent them from getting rained on. Rain and spraying can cause flower buds to rot and then accelerate their falling.
III. Maintenance Environment;
During the blooming period, the maintenance environment for camellias should be mainly diffused light, and direct sunlight is not recommended. The more abundant the light, the better the photosynthesis of the plant, and the faster the metabolism. Therefore, it is said that camellias can be maintained with diffused light or shaded light during the blooming period. Pay attention to good ventilation in the maintenance environment, which can maximize the extension of the blooming period. The only thing to note is not to change the maintenance environment frequently, as moving the plant around may also cause the flowers to fade prematurely.
By paying attention to the above three points, you can greatly extend the blooming period of camellias.
Today's introduction to methods for extending the blooming time of camellias is over.
The above is an introduction to the blooming period of camellias and the methods for the blooming period of southern camellias, which can be used as a reference suggestion for everyone.
