1. How long does it take from sowing to flowering?It usually takes 4-5 years for camellia to bloom from sowing. Although the sowing method can be used for large-scale reproduction, it cannot retain the good characteristics of the previous plants and its growth rate is not fast. If it is propagated by cuttings, it will bloom in the same year if properly maintained. If it is propagated by grafting, it will generally bloom in the following year. 2. Sowing Method1. Sowing time: Camellia is usually sown in spring or autumn. Spring is from February to March, and autumn has to wait until mid-to-late October. At this time, the germination rate is higher and it is easier to take root after sowing. If you choose summer, the high temperature and strong light will easily burn the seedlings, which is not conducive to its growth. The temperature is low in winter and the seeds are not easy to germinate. 2. How to germinate: In order to increase the germination rate, germination can be carried out before sowing. First soak the seeds in 1% potassium permanganate solution, pour out the solution after 30 minutes, and seal it for 1 hour. Afterwards, change to warm water at 25-30℃ for soaking. Change the water every day. Take out after 4-5 days and store in sand. Sprinkle water once a day and wait until the buds appear before sowing. 3. Preparation of potting soil: Camellia is suitable for growing in loose and fertile soil, which is generally prepared with mountain soil, sawdust and cake fertilizer powder, with the ratio of the three being 5:4:1. This kind of soil has good air permeability and can retain water and fertilizer, which is very beneficial to the growth and development of plants. It cannot be grown in alkaline or heavy clay soil, otherwise it will affect its development. 4. Sowing and seedling raising: Sprinkle the camellia seeds on the surface of the soil, then cover with a layer of fine soil, and water appropriately, but not too much, to prevent the seeds from drifting away with the water. In addition, you can cover it with a layer of plastic film, which can keep moisture and facilitate seed germination. |
