How to plant camellia and when to plant camellia

1. Planting time

It is recommended to plant camellia in a warm time, preferably in late spring or early autumn, when the climate is suitable and the survival rate is higher. Be sure to avoid winter. Although the plant is cold-resistant, the soil tends to become hardened during winter, which is not conducive to survival and later growth.

2. Soil Preparation

It likes loose, permeable and slightly acidic soil, and its soil requirements should be met as much as possible. You can mix peat soil, river sand and garden soil, and then add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to increase the nutrients. In such a soil environment, the plants will grow more vigorously and the flowers will bloom more beautifully.

3. Planting in the soil

Once the soil is prepared, the seedlings can be planted in it. No matter which method is used to propagate the seedlings, they must be disease-free and avoid infection. First, put a small amount of soil into the flowerpot, and then put the seedling in to allow its roots to stretch out. Hold the seedling with one hand and fill the soil with the other hand. Make sure it is full and compacted to ensure it does not tilt.

4. Post-planting maintenance

After planting, water the plant thoroughly in time, and make sure water flows out from the bottom of the pot. Afterwards, place it in a well-ventilated and semi-shaded environment, keep it moist and warm, and it will resume growth in about half a month, and then slowly increase the light. You must not rush to expose the plants to the sun, especially strong light, as this will burn the plants and affect their recovery.
