If flower lovers raise a single camellia seedling and want it to grow thicker and stronger, it will really take many years. If you tie the main trunks of three camellia seedlings together, they will slowly grow together and become one! Sounds interesting, right? Come and learn now!

1. Find 3 strong camellia seedlings

Flower lovers may be curious why there are 3 trees? Because the trunks of three seedlings will be rounder when merged together, but if there are two seedlings, they will become flatter when merged together. Be careful to choose seedlings with well-developed root systems.

2. Remove the three seedlings from the pot

Remove the camellia seedlings from the pot, being careful not to damage the roots.

3. Prune the roots and remove some of the soil.

Observe the root system carefully, find the side where the roots of the seedlings are sparse, remove 2/3 of the soil on this side, and then trim off the old roots, empty roots, rotten roots, etc.

4. Combine the roots of the three seedlings together.

A part of the soil of each of the three seedlings was removed, and the roots of the three seedlings were put together, and attention was paid to merging the main trunk parts as much as possible.

5. Tie the three main trunks together.

Before tying them together, you can use a knife to scrape off the bark on the main trunks that are close together, so that after tying them tightly, the three trees can grow together. There is no need to peel the bark too cleanly. In fact, even if you don't peel it, the three main trunks will still grow together. Tie the trunk as long as you want it to be.

6. Wrap a layer of black glue, wrap a circle of aluminum wire, and then put it in the basin

Before potting, adjust the position of the crown and tie it with a layer of black tape to allow the wound to heal as quickly as possible, then wrap the main trunk with aluminum wire.

7. Plant in the ground 2 months after potting.

After the camellia seedlings have been in the pot for 2 months, remove them from the pot and plant them in the ground. This is more conducive to root growth and will allow the camellia to grow faster. Generally, after planting in the ground, it will take about 2-3 years for the wound to heal completely and turn into a camellia!

The three branches are intertwined and grow into a thick and tall trunk.

Flower lovers can also twist the branches of a camellia seedling together to grow it into a main trunk! It will grow thick and strong soon! The principle is the same as tying 3 seedlings together!

1. The branches are intertwined and grow into a thick trunk.

The branches of this camellia were originally located relatively low and the shape was not good-looking, but by twisting and fixing the two branches together, and after some growth and healing, it grew into a trunk with a unique shape!

2. The trunk thickens at twice the speed

After 7-8 years of growth and healing, the trunk has grown very thick, about 7-8 centimeters, and it can’t be held in one hand! If the branches had not been merged, it would have taken more than ten years to grow this thick!

The trunk merging method,

Isn’t it amazing?
