There are some tricks for fertilizing camellia, which are different in each season. Do you know them all?

Camellia is different from other flowers. Its flowering period is relatively later. Of course, this also depends on the location and environment. Some camellias bloom in March, while others bloom in October. For friends in the north, October is a great time for camellia to bloom!

If you want the camellia to bloom well, you must fertilize it with good fertilizer. Only with sufficient nutrition can the camellia bloom vigorously. Not only will it bloom vigorously, but the color will also be brighter! However, there is a lot of knowledge and details involved in fertilizing. Today, Huahua will tell you how to fertilize so that it is beneficial to camellia.

What everyone doesn’t know is that camellia’s fertilizer requirements are different at each stage. Today we will talk about how to fertilize camellia according to the four seasons of the year.

In spring, camellia is in the growth stage. During this period, new buds and branches gradually grow. During this period, it is best to apply some nitrogen-based fertilizers to the camellia. Nitrogen can promote the growth of camellia branches and make them grow stronger. The frequency of fertilization is about once every 4-6 days.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, due to the different needs of flower growers, many people hope that camellia will bloom at this time. In order to promote the growth of flower buds, the main fertilizers we apply during this period are phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and nitrogen fertilizers can be applied less or even not at all.

In summer, the weather is too hot, which is not conducive to the growth of camellia. At this time, the camellia may grow slowly and stagnate. It is best not to fertilize the camellia at this time. It is very likely to cause the camellia to grow too tall.

The main purpose of fertilizing in autumn is to supplement nutrients for the flowers. If there are camellias blooming in October, applying some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can make the camellias bloom better and more vigorously. Non-flowering camellia also needs some fertilizer in the autumn, mainly to store some nutrients for the camellia in winter so that it can survive the winter smoothly.

Generally, we don’t fertilize plants in winter. The temperature is lower in winter, and it is not easy for camellia to grow. It is best not to fertilize.

When fertilizing camellia, it is best to apply some thin fertilizer. Thin fertilizer is more conducive to being absorbed by camellia. Too concentrated fertilizer is likely to burn the roots of camellia. If you want to grow camellia well, you have to put more effort into it. Not only fertilizing, but also watering and light are very important. I hope everyone's camellia will grow more and more prosperous!
