When can you plant camellia?

1. When to plant

Its flowers are very beautiful when they bloom, the flowers are large and the colors are very bright. Seed planting is generally done in April in spring, or around October in autumn. The temperature at this time is just right, which is conducive to its later growth and development and does not have too much impact on the plants. The germination rate will be higher in autumn.

If you want to take cuttings, choose June or July. If the cuttings survive at this time, you can transplant them in September or October of the same year. If you miss the opportunity now, you will have to wait until March of the following year. You can also choose August to September, when the temperature is stable at around 30℃ and the humidity requirements can be met.

2. Precautions

When planting, the growth and development of the root system depends on the loam, and the required water and nutrients are also absorbed from it. It is necessary to prepare slightly acidic loam for planting, and the pH value should be maintained between 5-6.5. It is also necessary to ensure air permeability and drainage. Be careful not to use alkaline soil, which will hinder the growth of the plant. Also avoid soil that is too sticky. You can mix mountain soil with sawdust and cake fertilizer to meet the growth needs.
