How to cultivate Camellia sasanqua

1. Soil

When growing Camellia sasanqua, you must choose the right soil, which should be loose, fertile, and well-drained. It is best to use leaf mold and peat soil together to make the cultivation land. When growing Camellia sasanqua, you should choose a soil with strong water absorption and spread coarse sand at the bottom of the flowerpot to facilitate ventilation and drainage.

3. Breeding environment

Normally, the camellia sasanqua must be kept in a suitable environment. It is a shade-loving plant and must be shaded in time during the hot summer weather. Even after entering the cold winter, the camellia sasanqua must not be placed in direct sunlight, otherwise its leaves will curl and the number of flowers will be significantly reduced.

Breeding precautions

When cultivating Camellia sasanqua, you must pay attention to moderate watering. Do not let the soil in the pot be too wet, otherwise it will affect the air permeability of the soil. If you water too much, it will easily cause diseases. Under normal circumstances, watering once every 4 to 5 days is enough, but in the hot summer weather, you need to spray water on the leaves of the plant every day. In addition, when cultivating Camellia sasanqua, you must soak the flowerpot in clean water for 24 hours to let the heat of the flowerpot subside before planting Camellia sasanqua, otherwise it will be difficult for Camellia sasanqua to survive.
