It is best to water camellia every few days

How often should camellia be watered?

Spring is the growing season for camellia. Generally speaking, it needs to be watered every two days, but the amount of watering can be reduced a little to prevent excessive water accumulation in the pot soil; the temperature in summer is relatively high, so water it once in the morning and evening, and try to keep the soil moist, which is also conducive to the normal growth of the plant; the temperature gradually decreases in autumn, and the amount of watering can be appropriately reduced. It is best to reduce it to once a week, which will be more conducive to plant absorption; the temperature drops in winter, the physiological activity of camellia weakens, and the number of watering needs to be reduced. At this time, flower lovers just need to keep the pot soil moist.

Camellia is not drought-tolerant. As long as you find that the soil in the pot is too dry, you must water the camellia in time. That is to say, you must adhere to the principle of watering thoroughly when the soil is dry.

What water should I use to water camellia?

1. Rainwater : It is best to use rainwater to water camellia because it is soft water, does not contain mineral salts, has a relatively high content of air, and is slightly acidic or neutral. It is the most ideal water for camellia.

2. River and lake water : It is also appropriate to use water from rivers, lakes and ponds to water camellias, but they must be unpolluted or less polluted.

3. Well water : The temperature of well water is significantly different from that of air and soil temperature, and is irritating to the root system. It must be stored in a container for one or two days before it can be used.

What to do if you water your camellia too much

1. Loosen the soil and ventilate : Usually you need to drain the excess water first, then place the plants in a well-ventilated place, loosen the soil appropriately, and accelerate the evaporation of water in the soil.

2. Remove from the pot : If water has accumulated for a period of time, remove the plant from the pot and check whether the roots are rotten. Cut off the rotten roots and replant with dry soil.
