Whenever it enters winter, many flower friends will buy a large number of camellias, after all, the peak flowering period of camellia is in the cold winter wax moon, as long as it is maintained with dim sum can make it bloom a variety of brilliant flowers.
After the camellia blooms, it can certainly increase a certain ornamentality. But if you want to raise it to be "beautiful", you also need to learn to cut it, create a beautiful shape, and then carefully maintain it, so that the charm of camellia can be brought into full play.
In general, the best time to prune camellia flowers is when the camellia dormancy period has ended, when new shoots have grown but not bloomed. At this time, camellia grows rapidly, and it is the best time to adjust the shape. At the same time, the frequency of shearing should also be moderate, too frequent shearing may lead to poor growth of camellias, and too sparse shearing will make it difficult to shape the desired shape.
For most camellias, maintaining the tree-like structure is the first condition to reveal its beauty. When pruning, the trunk should be retained and the hierarchical branches should be gradually pruned. This not only makes the camellia more symmetrical as a whole, but also facilitates later maintenance and appreciation.
Trimming isn't just about being neat and tidy, it's about creating a unique look. You can try to cut out the petals with a strong layering effect, such as cloud-like, layered, etc. This personalized cut gives the camellia a unique artistic charm and makes it the focal point of the courtyard.
The leaves of the camellia are also an important part of the beauty. When pruning, care should be taken to preserve the overall shape of the leaves and avoid over-pruning. The greenness of the leaves can provide a better foil to the flowers, making the whole more vibrant.
The buds of camellia flowers are a key part of the growth of the plant, so special attention should be paid to the treatment of the buds during the pruning process. It is not advisable to over-prune the flower buds, so as not to affect the flowering period and the quality of the flowers.
Scientific watering. Camellia has a greater need for water, but it is also necessary to avoid excessive watering to avoid root rot. In general, it is sufficient to keep the soil moist by watering once a week. In the summer heat, the frequency of watering can be moderately increased.
Proper fertilization. Fertilization is an important guarantee for the growth of camellia. Spring and summer are critical periods for camellia growth, when adequate nutrients need to be provided. You can choose organic fertilizer or special camellia fertilizer, spread evenly around the roots when fertilizing, be careful not to overdo it.
The right environment.
Camellias love sunlight but also need some shade. Too much sunlight can easily cause sunburn on the leaves, so you can choose to sunbathe in the morning or evening. At the same time, keep the air circulation and avoid camellia growing in a humid environment to prevent the breeding of pests and diseases.
Timely control of pests and diseases.
Camellia is susceptible to various pests and diseases during its growth, such as aphids, spider mites, etc. Regularly inspect the leaves and buds of camellias, and once abnormalities are found, measures should be taken to prevent and control them in time. Organic control methods can be chosen to reduce damage to plants.
Maintaining camellia is not only about regular watering and fertilization, but also about carefully observing the state of the plant. Pay attention to whether there are abnormal conditions such as withered yellow leaves and poorly growing branches, and take timely measures to solve the problem and maintain the healthy growth of the plant.
The relationship between pruning and nurturing is complementary, and through regular pruning, it can promote more branches of the plant and make the camellia more luxuriant. After pruning, proper maintenance can help the plant better absorb nutrients and improve its resistance to pests and diseases.
