Cultivation method of Camellia oleifera

1. Soil

Camellia oleifera does not have high requirements for soil quality. It is best to choose a larger flowerpot and use thicker acidic soil. But the soil should not be too hard, and there should not be too many impurities in the pot, such as stones and tiles.

2. Temperature

It is not cold-resistant, and the temperature of the surrounding environment cannot be too low. The temperature should be kept above 17℃. Be sure to avoid low temperatures and late frosts outdoors, otherwise their flowers will easily wither and the fruits may not be preserved.

3. Watering

It has high requirements for water and needs a lot of water during its vigorous growth period. Adequate water supply can promote its better growth. However, water cannot accumulate and the soil cannot be too wet for a long time to avoid root rot.

4. Lighting

It likes an environment with plenty of sunlight and needs at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Provide a little shade in the summer. The more light it gets, the brighter the color of its leaves will be.

5. Notes

1. Fertilization: During its growth and development stage, nitrogen fertilizer is commonly used. Nitrogen fertilizer can provide it with more sufficient nutrients and is beneficial to its growth.

2. Pests and diseases: The most common disease is root rot, which must be prevented and treated in time, otherwise it will cause root rot. After the disease occurs, it is best to spray the roots and soil with diluted copper sulfate for disinfection.
