Can potted camellia be exposed to rain? Are unpotted camellias afraid of rain?

Potted camellia can be exposed to rain. Reasonable rain is helpful for the growth of the plant. Rainwater can improve the pH value of the flower soil and stimulate the growth of camellia, as long as there is no stagnant water.

Potted camellia is a plant that likes water but cannot tolerate waterlogging. The frequency of watering the plant is not fixed and depends on the dryness and wetness of the soil. Generally, it is necessary to wait until the potting soil is completely dry before watering. If there is waterlogging, it needs to be drained in time.

Potted camellia in the rain

Potted camellia can be exposed to a small amount of rain, which will not have any impact on the growth of the plant. However, if the plant is in bloom, it cannot be exposed to rain, as it will cause the flowers to wither prematurely and shorten the flowering period of the plant.

After a potted camellia is exposed to rain, drainage needs to be done immediately. If the situation is serious, it is necessary to remove the pot, change the soil, trim the roots, replace it with dry nutrient soil, and then treat and disinfect the wound to help the plant resume growth.

Newly planted potted camellia in the rain

Newly planted potted camellia should not be exposed to rain, because the plant is in the seedling growth stage at this time and is most afraid of waterlogging and root rot, which will affect the healthy growth of the plant. It is best to let the plant stabilize first and then expose it to rain.
