In recent days, I have seen flower friends in the south drying camellias, and the flowers are beautiful like fake flowers, and I am very envious. Camellia and orchid, plum blossom, peony, chrysanthemum, yueji, rhododendron, lotus, osmanthus and narcissus are listed as the top ten famous flowers in our country, graceful and colorful, very popular with people.
Although camellia is beautiful, it is not cold-tolerant, and can only be potted and maintained in cold places in the north. After the camellia arrives in the north, it is not as easy to feed as other southern flowers, relatively speaking, it is more "pretentious", it is easy to fall flowers and buds, and it is considered to be one of the most difficult flowers to raise.
There are many varieties of camellia, when you first start raising camellia, it is recommended to choose varieties that are easier to feed, such as red dan, red dew zhen, and strong incense, which are relatively easy to maintain, and are ideal for novice flower friends.
Of course, when buying camellias, you can't be greedy for cheap, and getting some problematic plants is also the key to feeding camellias. How is it easier to feed potted camellias? From its soil distribution to maintenance methods, as long as these points are done, it is not difficult to raise flowers.
Camellia planting soil
Camellia belongs to the southern flowers, which naturally likes acidic soil, so when maintaining camellia, the soil should cater to the preferences of camellia and provide it with a good growth environment.
It is recommended to use a mixture of acidic laterite (red sand), peat soil and coconut peat for soil blending, which not only ensures the air permeability and water retention of the soil, but also provides rich nutrients for the growth of camellia. This method of soil preparation is shared by the boss who sells camellias, and interested flower friends can refer to it.
I have used a mixture of rotted pine needles, peat soil and river sand to raise camellias, and it is also possible, not only to feed, but also to reflower. Therefore, I think there is no cookie-cutter soil distribution, according to their own maintenance environment and maintenance methods to mix soil, as long as it suits their own, it is right.
A container for planting camellias
Don't be greedy when choosing flower pots, don't think about one step, you don't need to change pots frequently with large pots, and you can't be lazy about some things. You said that you choose a large flower pot, not only to use a lot of soil, but also the pot soil needs a long time to dry after watering, it is really difficult to want a dry and wet cycle, and it is easy to cause camellia root rot if you do not master the amount of watering.
Therefore, it is recommended to choose a flower pot of the right size according to the size of the plant, which is basically one circle larger than the original flower pot. However, if you have just bought the camellia in the flowering period, don't be in a hurry to replace the pot, and wait until the flowering period is over.
When repotting camellias, don't remove all the soil balls around the root system, just break up some of the original soil, and then put it in the pot, fill it with new soil, and gently compact.
Camellia maintenance method
A camellia maintained by a flower friend in Hubei Province has hundreds of buds in the outdoors, even if it is a large number of sparse buds, there are hundreds of flowers, which is very spectacular.
Camellia is suitable for outdoor cultivation, but it needs to be avoided from direct sunlight, otherwise it is easy to sunburn the leaves. Therefore, we can choose to maintain the camellia in the semi-shade, with good ventilation conditions, which is more conducive to the growth of camellia.
Camellia is neither drought tolerant nor waterlogging, the potting soil is too dry, easy to cause the buds to fall, watering too much, the potting soil is too wet, and it is easy to damage the root system, so the camellia can not be watered too much and not too little, it has to be dry and wet, and the general potting soil should be replenished in time when it is dry.
In addition, camellia also has certain requirements for air humidity, but try to avoid spraying the leaves directly, you can spray the surrounding environment, or use humidifiers and other methods to increase humidity for the maintenance environment.
To fertilize camellia, try to use slow-release fertilizer, because camellia is resistant to barrenness and excessive nutrients, which will damage the root system. When watering it with fertilizer, try to keep the concentration as low as possible to avoid fertilizer damage.
Camellia is very beautiful, but you still have to be careful when maintaining, just like every detail in life, only by managing it with heart can you make the camellia bloom the most beautiful flowers.
