A potted plant with continuously blooming flowers looks great placed anywhere in the house. However, during the cold winter, usually blooming roses and snowflake flowers start to quiet down, and orchids and peonies stop blooming. There is a kind of flower that is different; it blooms at the coldest time, from winter to early spring (April and May), with a relatively long blooming period. It is the camellia, and there are many varieties of it, such as Xiangfei Camellia, Hualu Zhen, Hongchi Dan, Dongfang Liang, and more.Camellia flowers are relatively large, with double petals layering over each other. The flower colors are rich, including elegant white, pink, bright red, and various mixed colors. When blooming, the leaves are lush and green, the flowers fresh, elegant, and grand. The flowers are larger than roses and more beautiful than orchids, with a faint fragrance. To exaggerate a bit, they are even more enduring and sturdy than peonies. Nowadays, there are more and more varieties of camellias, and some have fragrances that are very attractive. Keeping a potted camellia indoors will fill the room with a strong fragrance, refreshing the mind. So, how should camellia potted plants be cared for?There are three main techniques for growing camellias: large flowers, long blooming period, and blooming even in cold weather.1. When you first bring the camellia potted plant home, place it in a semi-shaded and well-ventilated area, allowing it to acclimate for about a week. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to wilt and look unhealthy.2. If you are just starting to care for it, do not rush to prune the roots or change the potting soil. Plant it in a slightly larger pot with the original soil, prepare some decomposed leaf soil, river sand, garden soil, some slow-release fertilizer, and some granular soil, or mix peat soil with other components. Place some organic fertilizer at the bottom of the pot as a base fertilizer.3. During the winter, if you want the camellia to bloom earlier, you can place it on an indoor balcony with a higher temperature, which will cause it to bloom earlier. If the indoor temperature reaches 20 degrees, its blooming period will be advanced, and it will be very beautiful, blooming in succession. However, when caring for it indoors, you need to ensure plenty of sunlight and maintain a certain level of humidity. If the air is dry and humidity is insufficient, the flower buds may dry out.By caring for camellias this way, their branches and leaves will become more lush, the flowers more vibrant and bright, the leaves turning into a dark green color, shiny and vigorous, and their growth rate will accelerate. In just a few months to half a year, it will produce more branches and new stems.A small potted camellia can grow into a large plant in just a few months to half a year.
