Farming methods

1. Breeding environment

Usually, you need to choose a hot and humid environment to grow camellia, and keep the soil fertile and moist. The soil must be slightly alkaline and fertile. It is difficult for camellia to survive in acidic soil. In addition, camellia likes warm and humid climates, is shade-tolerant, avoids exposure to the sun, and has excellent cold resistance, but it cannot be placed in an environment of minus five degrees in winter.

2. Lighting conditions

If you want to grow camellia well, light conditions are also very important. Usually, camellia should be placed in a semi-shaded environment, which can promote the healthy growth of camellia. However, after the camellia enters the flowering season, it should be moved to an environment with sufficient sunlight, so that the camellia flowers can bloom in bright colors.

3. Fertilizer and water management

When growing camellia, fertilizer and water management is very important. Usually, you should fertilize camellia once a month, but avoid using concentrated fertilizers, and do not apply too much fertilizer at a time. When growing camellia, you should also pay special attention to watering. In the hot summer weather, you should water it every day to keep the pot soil moist, but you must not allow water to accumulate in the pot, otherwise the camellia buds will fall off.

Precautions

When growing camellia, you cannot place it in full sunlight, otherwise its leaves will be burned. It grows most vigorously in a semi-shaded and semi-sunny environment. In addition, when growing camellia, you cannot change the direction of the camellia at will, because the adaptability of camellia is relatively poor, especially between April and September each year, when the teeth are in the process of germination, and you cannot move it at will, otherwise the leaves on the shaded side will fall off in large numbers after being suddenly exposed to strong light.
