Otherwise, not only will you would waste effort, but you would also waste a camellia plant.
(2) thin out the flower buds to allow nutrients to focus on the blooming flowers
In August to September, many camellias at home may have multiple flower buds on a single branch. At this time, you should not be overjoyed and need to be more ruthless. No matter how many flower buds there are on a branch, only one plump flower bud should be left in the end. This way, the entire plant will not have insufficient nutrients and the flower buds will not fall prematurely.
