Cultivation methods and precautions of Yunnan Camellia

temperature

This flower is more suitable for growing in locations above 20℃, but it will stop growing when the temperature reaches 29℃. When the temperature rises above 35℃. If you don't want it to go dormant directly, you must find a way, because the leaves will become scorched at this temperature. At this time, it is recommended to use shading and water spraying methods to cool down.

However, if the temperature is not lower than 8℃, this flower can safely survive the winter without the need for insulation measures. This makes this flower more suitable for planting in areas south of the Huaihe River where the temperature is not so high in winter.

Soil selection

Most plants prefer slightly acidic soil, but this flower is no special, and a certain degree of water permeability must be ensured. The soil must be loose so that water can drain easily. With good drainage, the roots can naturally breathe better and will not rot due to poor breathing. If on this basis it can also maintain moisture for watering the house, then this kind of soil is our best choice.

illumination

This kind of flower cannot be placed in a position of full shade or full sun. Half yin and half yang is best. When the temperature rises to a certain level, they will go dormant, but if there is too little sunlight, photosynthesis cannot keep up. In this case, the branches will definitely not grow well, and may even be weak. Even the leaves will be lifeless.

Watering

This plant grows outdoors, so you don't have to worry about watering it, but you do have to pay attention to the amount of water it gets. The leaves of this flower are relatively large and the water evaporates quickly, so it can be watered in the morning and evening. But it is best not to use tap water, as this will gradually make the soil more alkaline. When there is a lot of water on rainy days, appropriate drainage measures should also be taken.

Fertilization

The method of fertilizing this flower is similar to other flowers, try to apply it as thinly as possible. During the golden growth period, it is enough to do it once or twice a month, or you can directly mix it in with the decomposed cake fertilizer powder. To avoid odor, cover the soil after mixing in the fertilizer.
