Camellia japonica is one of the more common varieties in life, with bright and beautiful flowers that are highly ornamental and loved by many. Therefore, many people cultivate it at home. However, many people do not know how to care for camellia japonica, and it is easy to cause the plant to die during the cultivation process. Let's follow the editor to understand the cultivation methods of camellia japonica.
【One, how to care for camellia japonica】
Camellia japonica is actually a relatively easy-to-care-for flowering plant. If you want to grow it well at home, you first need to understand its growth habits, and then consider watering and fertilizing. Generally speaking, camellia japonica prefers to grow in cool places and is afraid of strong sunlight. If the temperature of the growing environment reaches 29 degrees Celsius, the plant will stop growing.
Therefore, when cultivating camellia japonica, it is best to grow it in the living room and maintain a well-ventilated growing environment. As long as the indoor temperature is not as high as 29 degrees Celsius, it will not affect the plant's growth. However, the temperature should not be too low either, as too low temperature can cause frostbite, and in severe cases, it may lead to the death of the entire plant.
【Two, the cultivation methods of camellia japonica】
<1. Temperature requirements>
Temperature is one of the important conditions for the growth of camellia japonica. Camellias prefer warmth, with the most suitable growth temperature being between 18℃ and 25℃, and relative humidity between 60% and 65%. The growth of camellias usually starts to germinate in mid-to-late March, begins to sprout in April, forms terminal buds in mid-to-late May, stops growing, and gradually differentiates into leaf buds or flower buds. It takes 180 to 240 days from the formation of flower buds to blooming.
<2. Disease and pest control>
Common diseases of camellia japonica mainly include anthracnose and black mold, which can be controlled by spraying 0.5-degree Bordeaux mixture. You can also spray 25% carbendazim wettable powder 1,000 times liquid or 60% fenpropimorph super-fine wettable powder 800 times liquid for comprehensive control. The main pests include tea caterpillars, red spiders, and scale insects. You can spray 40% omethoate 1,000 times liquid to kill them.
<3. Appropriate lighting>
Camellia japonica needs appropriate lighting but is afraid of direct sunlight in high temperatures. In spring and late autumn, move the camellia japonica to a sunny balcony or ground to receive full-day sunlight, promoting the plant's growth and development, and encouraging the differentiation of flower buds and the health of flower buds.
<4. Sufficient nutrients>
Camellia japonica is a fertilizer-loving plant because it has a strong growth, many leaves, and a long flowering period, hence requiring a lot of fertilizer. During fertilization, apply sufficient liquid fertilizer, and apply sufficient long-acting fertilizer when changing pots. Depending on the size of the pot, apply 3 to 80 grams of decomposed cake fertilizer powder or dried chicken and duck dung to the bottom of the pot and mix it with the bottom soil.
