How often should I water my camellia?

Camellia does not require much water, so the watering time is not regular. Generally speaking, as long as the soil in the pot is dry, it should be watered. Just keep the soil moist, so it is best to follow the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry, and watering thoroughly when watering. This will make the camellia grow stronger. When watering, it is best to choose collected snow water, well water or river and lake water.

Camellia watering method

1. Observe the soil in the pot : Before watering, you can observe the soil. If it turns white, you need to water it. Or you can knock on the flowerpot and water it if you hear a crisp sound.

2. Watering during the peak growing season : The hot and dry summer and autumn are also the growing seasons for camellia. Watering or spraying should be done in time. The relative humidity of the air should be kept at 70%-80%. Pay attention to drainage during the rainy season to avoid root waterlogging and rot.

Camellia watering precautions

1. Watering time : When watering camellia, the watering time generally varies according to the season. In spring and autumn, it is generally not suitable to water in the morning and at noon, but it can be watered at other times.

2. The watering temperature should not be too low in winter : In summer, it is not suitable to water at noon. It should be watered in the morning and evening. In winter, watering is generally done when the temperature is high at noon. Do not water in the morning and evening. When watering, pay attention to the water temperature and do not water it too low.

What to do if you overwater your camellia

1. If you water the camellia too much, it will not only affect the growth of the plant, but in severe cases it will also cause its roots to rot and die.
2. If you encounter this situation, you usually need to drain the excess water first, then place the plant in a well-ventilated place, loosen the soil appropriately, and accelerate the evaporation of water in the soil. If water has accumulated for a period of time, you need to remove the plant from the pot and check whether the roots are rotten. After cutting off the rotten roots, replant it with dry soil.
