Introduction of Camellia
The plant shape of Camellia is very beautiful, and the leaves are thick green and very lustrous. When the flowers are in full bloom, the flower shape is also very colorful and colorful, which has attracted the attention of the world horticultural culture. There are many varieties of Camellia, which belong to the traditional Chinese ornamental flowers and plants.

Camellia growth habit
Camellia prefers to be in sunny, high-lying and relatively cool ambient bells. It is afraid of wind attack, and prefers to grow in air, warm and humid, well-drained, loose and fertile sandy, loess, humus soil. It is best to have a pH of 5.5-6.5. It is also suitable for growth at a temperature of 20-32 degrees Celsius. If the growth temperature is higher than 29 degrees Celsius, the camellia will stop growing. When the temperature is above 35 degrees Celsius, the leaves will be burned. It is most suitable to grow in a certain temperature difference environment. of. The suitable environmental humidity should be kept above 70%. Many varieties of Camellia can resist the low temperature of -8 degrees Celsius. In the south of the Huaihe River, it can be used for natural wintering. It is required in an environment with good acidity and good gas permeability. Growth is the best. Appropriate shading can be done during the summer and it is not needed in the other three seasons for full photosynthesis.
Potted Camellia cultivation method
Camellia has a large number of breeding methods, generally using asexual reproduction and oily reproduction, and the propagation methods of cutting and grafting are very much used. Camellia can be used for cutting propagation, grafting, leaf insertion, leaf insertion, high insertion, and tree breeding.
1. Growth environment: It is best to culture the Camellia cultured in a warm and humid environment with good ventilation and ventilation. In spring, autumn and winter, sufficient light is needed, and appropriate shading is carried out in summer. Handle to avoid direct glare. Do not put it on the balcony and breed it, it is easy to fall.
2. Change the pot: Generally, the camellia is changed once in a year or two. As the plant grows, the pot also increases, which is more conducive to the development of the root system. Changing the basin is usually carried out in the spring of April, and in the autumn, it is also possible to change the basin. When changing the basin, it is necessary to remove some of the old soil, and then add some loose and fertile soil in it, which is more beneficial. The growth of camellia.
3. Watering: When potting camellia, keep the soil moist, but not water, do not appear wet when dry. In the spring, proper watering should be carried out, which is more conducive to growth. In the summer, you need to water the water in the morning and evening, and you need to spray water on the leaves to keep the leaves moist. In the high temperature at noon, you can't water, and you can't pour hot water in it, which will burn the roots.
4. Fertilization: Camellia is a kind of like to grow in a fertile environment. When changing the pot, you can cultivate some base fertilizer in it. Phosphate and potash can be used. When fertilizing, you can apply decomposed fertilizer, bone powder, hair, hair and feces. Calcium polyphosphate and so on. Generally, the thin fertilizer is applied after the flower, and the thick fertilizer is poured in November, which is more conducive to the more beautiful colors.
5. Trimming: Camellia grows slowly, and should be appropriate when trimming. Do not overdo it. Generally, the plants, the plants that are harmful to the pests, the weak branches, and the like are trimmed. If there are more flower buds on the branches, you can remove some, keep the distance of the flower buds, and avoid the consumption of nutrients. The flowers that have withered should be removed in time, and the nutrient consumption of the watering plants will allow the plants to grow better.
6. Prevention of pests and diseases: The pests and diseases that Camellia often encounters are anthracnose, black mold, etc., and can be sprayed with Bordeaux mixture. The insects encountered are tea-tipped moths, which can be cut off from insects or sprayed with drugs.
The roots of camellia depend on the growth of the soil to develop, and it is nutritious from the nutrients and moisture of the soil. Camellia prefers to grow in acidic, humic, loose, aerated, and fertile soils. Generally, the pH of the soil is between 5 and 6.5. Soils that cannot be alkaline and viscous soils are used as the substrate. Generally, mountain mud, wood chips, and bacteria are used. The slag, cake fertilizer, animal manure and phosphate fertilizer are cultivated together, the watering amount should be appropriate, and the watering of the fertilizer water should be maintained, which is more conducive to the flower blooming and the plant growth is more robust.
