Camellia cultivation methods and precautions

Camellia cultivation methods and precautions

1. Environment

Camellia has certain requirements for the maintenance environment. Camellia is a semi-shade tolerant plant. During the hot summer season, try to provide shade at noon. Excessive light will cause the leaves of camellia to turn yellow, curl, become deformed and discolored, etc. After entering autumn and winter, it needs more and more light to facilitate the differentiation of flower buds.

2. Soil

Camellia requires good drainage in the soil, preferably slightly acidic sandy loam and clay loam. Because its root system is relatively slender, it requires the soil to have a certain viscosity. Too loose soil is not conducive to its growth.

3. Water

Camellia requires sufficient air humidity and the potting soil should be kept slightly moist. Excessive dryness and long-term waterlogging are not conducive to the normal development of its root system.

4. Temperature

The ideal wintering temperature should be around 5 degrees. The high temperature in summer will also inhibit the growth of camellia to a certain extent.

5. Notes

Camellia requires a slightly acidic environment during its growth process. If it is alkaline, chlorosis will occur, as well as other pests such as scale insects, red spiders, aphids and some other pests. During maintenance, we just need to observe at any time and take timely prevention and control measures.
