What should I do if the camellia has buds for a long time but does not bloom? (The big buds cannot bloom)

It is normal for camellia buds to be large but not blooming

Camellia grows slowly, and even after several years of cultivation, there will not be much change. This is the growth habit of camellia, and we cannot change it. The slow growth of camellia is not only reflected in the growth of branches and leaves, but also in the formation of buds and flowering.

Camellia begins to differentiate flower buds in early summer, the flower buds can only be truly distinguished in autumn, and the flowers do not bloom until November or December.

This process is very long. Although the camellia buds look big, it will not bloom until it is time to bloom. Just wait and see. Don't worry about it. It will bloom naturally when it is time.

The problem of air humidity

Camellias like a humid growing environment. In addition to watering to keep the soil moist, you should spray water on the leaves more often. The failure of camellia to bloom is also related to air humidity. If the air is too dry, camellia will not bloom.

However, generally speaking, as long as it is not too dry, it will bloom normally. If it is too dry, the edges of the camellia buds will dry out directly. If this happens, it is necessary to increase humidity.

How to manage tea buds

After the camellia buds, theoretically it needs more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, but the camellia is not like the rose, which blooms multiple times a year. The camellia blooms only once a year, and the brewing time is long enough.

The buds of camellia are in the process of slow growth, which requires time. During this period, we just need to take care of them normally.

When applying fertilizer, it is not advisable to apply concentrated fertilizer. Some thin liquid fertilizer is enough. Decomposed cake fertilizer water and rice washing water are more suitable. The frequency of fertilization is once every half a month.

When flower buds differentiate, which is the period from May to June in early summer, you can use potassium dihydrogen phosphate 1-2 times as foliar fertilizer, and control the concentration below 2/1000, with an interval of about 15 days .

Then, after the flower buds are clearly visible in autumn, you can use it 1-2 more times, or change the fertilizer to a fertilizer with higher phosphorus content, such as soaking pigeon manure or chicken manure in water, take the supernatant and add water for watering.
