Cultivation techniques of Vietnamese camellia

1. Soil selection and management

To cultivate Vietnamese Camellia, you need to choose fertile and loose soil, and strengthen the management of the soil during the cultivation period, so as to provide sufficient nutrients for the Camellia and promote the normal development of the root system. If Vietnamese Camellia is cultivated on a large scale, deep plowing should be carried out between February and May and August each year, and weeds in the field should be removed.

2. Light and water management

When cultivating Vietnamese camellia, it is also important to manage light and water. It does not like strong light, so it should be shaded as necessary. The light intensity only needs to be around 40%. If the shade is not ideal, the sun will burn its leaves. When cultivating Vietnamese camellia, water supply is also very important. Under normal circumstances, the moisture in the soil should be kept at around 55%.

3. Fertilizer management

Fertilizer management is also very important if you want to grow Vietnamese camellia well. After it enters the annual growing season, the demand for fertilizer will increase significantly. Top dressing is required three times a year, and the time should be before each shoot growth. It is best to choose compound fertilizers with high phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen content. You can also apply urea, potassium sulfate, superphosphate and other fertilizers.
