How to grow camellia

1. Soil

When breeding, use fertile, well-ventilated and well-drained sandy soil, and the pH value should be between 5.5-6.5. You can use red soil, peat soil mixed with an appropriate amount of rotten sawdust to make a mixture. When maintaining the soil, ensure that it has a certain degree of moisture. Water is lost quickly in summer, so you need to add more water and water it once in the morning and evening. In winter, you need to control watering, once every two or three days is enough to meet the growth needs.

3. Lighting

Camellia itself likes light and has a great demand for light. The light is mild in spring and autumn, so it should be placed in a sunny place with more sunlight. The light is strong in the summer, so you need to block it appropriately and avoid strong sunlight. It is enough to see the sunlight at sunset.

4. Fertilization

Its growth cannot be separated from fertilizer, because its flowers are large and consume more nutrients. Fertilize frequently during the growing season, but be careful to use thin fertilizers. Concentrated fertilizers can easily burn the roots and cause yellow leaves.

5. Temperature

It is best to provide a temperature between 20 and 32 degrees during maintenance. When the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, the leaves will easily burn, affecting growth. Therefore, spray more water in summer to lower the temperature. The temperature should be controlled in winter, preferably above 8 degrees to avoid frostbite.
