This article introduces the cultivation methods of camellia tree potted plants and the planting skills for mastering the growth of camellias, with detailed information on green plants. Here is a comprehensive introduction for you.
In winter, it is recommended to grow this plant, which is more beautiful than orchids and more beautiful than peonies, as it is cold-resistant, has bright flower colors, and a strong fragrance.
Many friends enjoy growing flowers and love beautiful green plants. A potted plant with continuously blooming flowers can be placed anywhere in the house and matches well with any decor. However, in the cold winter, usually blooming flowers like roses and snowflake blossoms become quiet, and orchids and peonies stop blooming. There is one flower that is different; it blooms in the coldest time, from winter to April or May of the following year, with a relatively long blooming period. This flower is the camellia, and there are many types, such as Xiangfei camellia, Hualuezhen, Hongchidan, Dongfangliang, and others.
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 in bloom, the leaves are lush and green, the flowers are fresh, elegant, and grand, and the large flowers are even more beautiful than roses and more attractive than orchids. They also have a faint fragrance, which can even be more appealing than peonies. Nowadays, there are more and more varieties of camellias, and some have fragrances that are very captivating. Keeping a potted camellia indoors results in a strong fragrance that stands out and fills the room with a pleasant aroma, making one feel relaxed and happy. So, how should camellia potted plants be cared for?
There are three key 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 to acclimate for about a week. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to wilt and the plant to become 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, preparing decomposed leaf soil, river sand, garden soil, some slow-release fertilizer, and granular soil, or adding other components like peat soil is also fine. Place some organic fertilizer at the bottom of the pot as a base fertilizer.

This type of potting soil is less likely to compact and is more breathable and draining. As long as the potting soil is fertile and loose, the plant's growth will be better. As long as the potting soil is good, loose, breathable, and fertile, the plant may start as a small seedling, only 30 centimeters tall, and within half a year, it can grow to one meter tall, even filling with flower buds.
3. When growing camellias in winter, if you want them to bloom earlier, you can place them on the indoor balcony with a higher temperature, and they will bloom earlier. If the indoor temperature reaches 20 degrees, the blooming period will be ahead of schedule and very beautiful, with continuous blooming. However, when caring for them indoors, make sure they receive plenty of sunlight and maintain a certain level of humidity. If the air is dry and the humidity is insufficient, the flower buds may wither.
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 with a shiny appearance, making the plant look vigorous and appealing. Moreover, their growth speed will accelerate, and within a few short months, they will produce more branches and new shoots.
