What should I do if the camellia does not grow?

1. Why does camellia not grow?

1. Inappropriate amount of watering: A large part of the reason why camellia grows too slowly or stops growing is too little watering. When there is insufficient watering, the growth of camellia will slow down; too much watering will cause root rot, which is not conducive to plant growth.

2. Too little fertilizer: Applying too little fertilizer will cause the camellia to be undernourished and affect the development of the plant.

3. Improper lighting: Too much direct sunlight or insufficient sunlight will affect the normal growth of camellia.

4. Transplanting the seedlings too late: Many people will transplant the camellia seedlings during the Spring Festival, which is an important reason for the poor growth of camellia.

2. How to make camellia grow faster?

1. Repotting or transplanting: The suitable time to repot camellia is from October to around February of the following year, especially November is the best time to transplant and repot camellia. After that, the later the seedlings are transplanted, the more difficult it will be to recover their vitality, and the camellia will grow slower and worse.

2. Environment: This flower prefers a semi-shaded environment. When planting this flower, be careful to block the sunlight and avoid direct exposure to the sun. However, it cannot be placed directly in a dark and dark place for cultivation. Both situations are not conducive to the growth of the plant. It is best to place camellia in a semi-shaded area with scattered sunlight, providing the plant with sufficient light while preventing sunburn.

3. Soil: Camellia prefers slightly acidic soil, while loose and fertile soil is best, such as red sandy soil, orchid soil, etc. It is worth noting that although red soil is acidic, this type of soil is not conducive to air permeability and will affect the rooting of camellia, so red soil is generally not chosen for planting.

4. Water: Camellia has relatively high requirements for water. It cannot be too dry or too wet. Generally, you have to wait until the soil is a little dry and cracked before watering it. When watering, you have to water it thoroughly at one time, and no water should accumulate in the pot.

5. Fertilizer: When applying fertilizer, make sure to apply it frequently and lightly. Too little fertilizer will slow down growth, while too much fertilizer will have the opposite effect. Pay attention in autumn and winter and reduce fertilization appropriately.

6. Pruning: Proper pruning can encourage the plant to sprout new branches. An overall pruning should be done in February and March every year to cut off diseased and weak branches and dead branches to promote the growth of camellia.
