The cultivation of four-season camellia has relatively high requirements for the soil. This plant likes fertile soil with high humus content, and the pH value of the soil should be between 5 and 6.5, maintaining a slightly acidic state.

In spring and autumn, it can be placed directly in a sunny environment, but after entering the hot summer, it must be moved to a cool area where strong light cannot reach, otherwise its leaves will turn yellow and even die in severe cases.

3. Fertilization and watering

Four-season camellia likes a humid environment and should be watered in time. In summer and autumn, it can be watered at noon and every 2 to 3 days. After entering summer, it should be watered every day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Four-season camellia also has a relatively large demand for fertilizer. Under normal circumstances, it can be fertilized once a month. After entering winter, you can stop identifying nitrogen fertilizers. Do not apply concentrated fertilizers. It is best to choose thin liquid fertilizers.

When cultivating four-season camellia, you must pay attention to pruning, and cut off the diseased and weak ones in time, and clean up the overly dense flower buds after it enters the flowering period. Only in this way can you maintain the vigorous growth of the beautiful plant. In addition, when cultivating four-season camellia, you must also pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases. After discovering black mold and anthracnose, you must spray drugs in time.
