Why do camellia leaves turn yellow after transplanting?

1. Wrong time

The time to transplant camellia is also very important. If the transplanting time is wrong and the surrounding climate environment is not suitable, it will cause great damage to the camellia and will be detrimental to its growth recovery, and the leaves will easily turn yellow. It is recommended to transplant camellia in spring, when the temperature is more suitable and can be maintained at around 20 degrees, and the growth and germination ability is stronger, which is conducive to recovery.

2. Root damage

During the transplanting process, if you are not careful to move slowly, the roots can easily be damaged, which will make it difficult for the roots to take root normally, and the ability to absorb water and nutrients will be poor, which will naturally cause the leaves to turn yellow. Be careful not to damage the roots when transplanting.

3. Unsuitable soil quality

Camellia likes slightly acidic soil, which requires it to be loose and well-drained. If the transplanting location is not suitable and the soil is not suitable for growth, the camellia will naturally find it difficult to adapt and its leaves will turn yellow. Before transplanting, investigate the location to make sure the soil is suitable for its growth.

4. Excessive watering

After transplanting camellia, in order to promote rooting, it is generally watered to promote later growth. If you give too much water this time, the roots will rot and the leaves will also be affected. When watering for the first time after transplanting, the amount of water should be moderate, just make sure it is watered thoroughly.
