When to fertilize camellia

1. When to apply fertilizer

1. Spring: After entering spring, apply some nitrogen-containing nutrients to the plants before they sprout. You can add this kind of fertilizer to the plant once every ten days, and stop fertilizing after the branches of the plant become strong. In this way, the plant will grow more vigorously, the leaves will grow larger, and it can also store nutrients for the plant to bloom.

2. Late spring: After the branches of the plant become strong, change the fertilizer for the plant to one containing phosphorus and potassium. This will help the plant bloom. The growth rate of the leaves and branches of the plant will slow down, but you can see the beautiful flowers earlier.

3. Autumn: At this time, the plants need to accumulate nutrients to survive the colder winter. Fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium can be applied to the plants once every two weeks to increase the plants' ability to resist cold.

2. Precautions

1. When using chemical fertilizers, just put a few particles away from the roots of the plant. Don't put too much to avoid damaging the plant. After applying fertilizer, add some water and wait for the granules to slowly dissolve.

2. There is no need to fertilize the plants in the hot summer, as the plants grow slowly and do not require nutrient supply.
