How to grow red camellia in the north

1. Flower soil selection

When growing azalea camellia in the north, the suitability of the flower soil should be ensured. Use loose sandy soil and the pH value should be preferably between 5.5 and 6.5. If the soil in the northern region is not suitable, you will have to buy special nutrient soil for breeding.

2. Watering frequency

It likes a relatively humid environment, so you can water it more frequently, generally 5-7 times a week. However, if the weather is bad and the water evaporates slowly, you can wait before watering. When watering, you should water when the soil is dry, and water it thoroughly. In summer, you should spray more water and the air humidity should be at least 60%.

3. Fertilization and soil replacement

In order to make it bloom more and better, it is extremely important to replenish nutrients regularly, and it needs to be fertilized once a month. In order to allow the plants to better absorb nutrients, the potting soil should be replaced once a year to prevent the soil from becoming too compacted.

4. Pruning

When growing it in the north, don't forget to prune. The dense branches, diseased branches and weak branches on the plant should all be cut off together. However, don't be too heavy-handed when pruning, just cut lightly.
