How to grow camellia

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: Camellia is suitable for loose, well-drained acidic soil. Do not use calcareous soil.

2. Watering: When the plant is newly potted, water it sufficiently and thoroughly. The amount of watering can be determined according to the weather, as long as the soil remains moist. In summer, more watering can be given to meet its germination needs. It is best to water in the morning or evening in summer. Pay attention to drainage in the rainy season to avoid water accumulation.

3. Fertilization: Camellia does not like fertilizer, so do not apply too much fertilizer. Generally, use mixed fertilizer, mainly phosphorus fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer is also acceptable. The fertilizer must be fully decomposed before use. Apply more fertilizer when the plants are strong, and apply less fertilizer or no fertilizer when the seedlings are weak.

4. It likes a warm and humid environment. It should be given sufficient light in spring and rainy season to prevent its branches from becoming thin and weak.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Propagation by cuttings: Cut relatively sturdy branches into a length of about 10 cm, remove all the leaves on the lower part, and leave 2-3 leaves on the upper part. After cuttings, water them to ensure that the soil is moist. It will take about two months for the roots to take root.

2. Layering propagation: Choose branches from the previous year, peel the bark at the high-voltage part, cover it with film, then tie the lower opening tightly, fill it with culture soil, and tie the upper opening tightly. After the roots have grown, cut them off and then plant them.

3. Common pests and diseases

Common insect pests are generally stem borers and scale insects, and common diseases include anthracnose and black sooty disease. After discovering pests and diseases, the diseased leaves and branches should be cleaned up in time, and pesticides should be sprayed for prevention and control.
