Can Camellia sasanqua bloom in winter?

Key point 1. Temperature

Don’t think that sasanqua is delicate because of its bright colors. Sasanqua can still withstand some cold, but the temperature cannot be lower than minus two degrees Celsius, and it also has an upper limit of seven degrees Celsius. So, overall, the most suitable temperature should be maintained at three to six degrees Celsius.

Key point 2. Lighting

Camellia sasanqua is suitable for growing in a place with partial shade and partial sun, which means it can be given light but not too much. In the summer, you may have to worry about whether too much sunlight will damage it. In the winter, you don’t have to worry about this. If you are worried about the strong wind outside and don’t want to place it on the balcony, you can just place it indoors where it can get sunlight.

Key point 3. Ventilation

1. Poor air circulation can also harm it, so keep the air fresh and remember to open the window to ventilate it when the air is good.

2. Do not let the camellia come into contact with harmful pollutants, and do not let oil, dirt and grime damage it.

3. If the air pollution nearby is serious, remember to clean the dust on the leaves to prevent affecting the normal breathing of the Camellia sasanqua.

Key point 4. Fertilization

You should know that Camellia sasanqua does not like too much water and fertilizer, so the fertilizer should be light. If it is raw fertilizer or concentrated fertilizer, it will damage the roots. It likes to live in acidic sandy soil. Using tap water will increase the alkalinity of the medium, so be careful.

Key point 5. Watering

The soil should be kept moist, but not too wet. When watering, be careful not to water halfway, as this is not good for the plants.

Key point 6. Pest control

General pesticides can solve the disease and pest problems of Camellia sasanqua. If red spider mites appear, you can treat it with tobacco leaf water and chili water, so this problem is relatively easy to solve.

Okay, that’s all for the introduction. If you master these points, I believe it will not be difficult to see the camellia sasanqua blooming in winter.
