How to grow camellia at homeCamellia has shiny green leaves and colorful flowers, and has high ornamental value. It has been loved by people since ancient times. Camellia is now very popular among flower lovers, and they often grow a few pots at home for viewing. However, this southern flower has very high requirements for the growing environment, and many flower lovers say that it is very difficult to grow. In fact, camellia is not particularly difficult to grow. As long as you master 5 maintenance "techniques", you can grow it to be lush and flourishing. First, the soil should be acidic.Acidic soil is very important for growing camellia well. Adding enough humus to the slightly acidic soil can provide sufficient nutrients for camellia. Only with sufficient nutrients can camellia grow well. In addition to ensuring that the soil contains nutrients, it should also be mixed with some river sand, sawdust, cake fertilizer, etc. to make the soil loose, breathable and fertile. Only such soil can grow camellia well. In addition, when growing camellia in potted plants at home, don't be afraid of the trouble. Try to collect as much loose, breathable, nutrient-rich nutrient soil as possible, such as pine needle soil, peat soil, humus soil, etc., and then add some water-permeable and breathable materials. For example, using burnt coal slag particles or decomposed peanut shells to make the potting soil loose, breathable, and rich in nutrients will allow the camellia to grow vigorously. Second, sufficient lightLight is also very important for the growth of camellia. Only sufficient light can make camellia grow vigorously. In the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, except for the summer when shading is needed, the plant can be exposed to sufficient sunlight in other seasons and should be placed in a place with scattered light for maintenance in the summer. Third, water and fertilizer managementThe growth of camellia is closely related to water and fertilizer. Only reasonable water and fertilizer can make camellia grow vigorously . Camellias like a humid environment. Water them once a day in spring and autumn, once in the morning and evening in summer, and once a week in winter. During the growing season, you can dilute decomposed liquid fertilizer with water and pour it directly into the soil. You can also bury some organic fertilizer in the soil and let it ferment and absorb slowly. When watering, you can also add a little vinegar to it. Adding vinegar to water can improve the acidity and alkalinity of the soil. Acidic soil is conducive to the growth of camellia. Fourth, good ventilationCamellia grows best in a well-ventilated environment. If the ventilation is poor, it basically cannot be grown well. Many flower lovers keep camellias indoors. If they are placed indoors on the balcony, the air must be ventilated. If the air in a closed environment is not ventilated for a long time, camellias will easily turn yellow and wither, so a well-ventilated environment is very important. 5. Air humidityCamellia is a flower that likes a humid environment. The ambient air humidity is best maintained at 60% to 70% . However, our home cultivation environment is mostly made of reinforced concrete with relatively little shade from trees. Therefore, the air is relatively drier, and camellias in a dry environment often have yellow leaves, curled leaves, and fallen leaves. Therefore, when growing camellia at home, in addition to normal watering, we should also spray it with water mist from a spray bottle frequently when the weather is clear and the ventilation is good to increase the humidity of the air environment and provide a good growth environment for the plant. |
