What to do with Camellia sasanqua dead flowers

reason

Room temperature is too high

The camellia sasanqua grown in pots at home is in a semi-dormant state in the cold winter and early spring. If the average indoor temperature is above 10℃, it will promote the nutritional growth of the camellia sasanqua, thereby competing for the nutrients needed by the developing flower buds, causing them to gradually wither.

Air is not flowing

In winter, families close windows to keep out the cold, and the air does not circulate, making it impossible to ventilate in time, which will cause the camellia flowers to become dead.

Change positions frequently

Some families like to change the position of plants they grow, which can easily disrupt the original growth pattern of the plants and affect the normal growth and flowering of Camellia sasanqua.

After potted Camellia sasanqua is brought indoors in winter, it stops growing nutritionally and enters a semi-dormant period when the buds expand. It needs a stable, cool and humid environment. It hates fluctuating temperatures and strong and weak light, especially when it is about to bloom. More attention should be paid.

Keep too many flower buds

Retaining too many flower buds will cause the nutrients to be too dispersed, resulting in all the efforts of a year of cultivation being wasted. Not only will you not see a normal flower, but the plant will also be injured or even die.

Fertilize before flowering

Although a large amount of nutrients are needed during the winter and spring bud development and flowering seasons, if fertilizer is applied before flowering, the large buds that are about to bloom will often be "pushed" off, resulting in dead buds and flowers.

what to do

Maintaining a comfortable temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for home potted plants is 2℃-10℃, so it is best to control the temperature when moving the pots indoors.

Keep the air flowing

Open windows regularly to ventilate the room, preferably in the morning and evening, for about 10 minutes each time, to keep the indoor air fresh.

Avoid contact with harmful gases, try not to smoke indoors, do not place the camellia in dirty places such as the kitchen and toilet, and do not keep it in a newly renovated room.

The air pollution near cities or industrial and mining areas is serious. When dust accumulates on the leaves, they should be cleaned in time to maintain normal breathing, facilitate growth and protect buds and flowers.

Timely bud thinning

After the flower buds are produced, they should be thinned out in a timely and large amount to ensure that there are sufficient nutrients for the later development and flowering of the flower buds.

No fertilizer after entering the room

Generally, no fertilizer is required for potted tea plum blossoms after they are brought indoors in winter. In order to ensure that the flowers bloom normally, fertilizer can be applied in two stages: spring and summer.

In spring, after the flowers bloom and before the shoots emerge, apply thin alum fertilizer water 1-2 times. Do not apply fertilizer during the shoot emergence period, as fertilization at this time is most likely to burn the camellia.

Fertilization in summer can be done after June when the spring shoots are aging. At this time, the amount of fertilizer can be slightly larger and can be applied continuously (once every ten days, for 2-3 times in a row). Stop fertilizing after late September, otherwise the buds and flowers will easily become dead in winter.
