Principle of soil utilization

In potted Camellia cultivation, the choice of soil is very important. First of all, we should ensure that it is loose, breathable, good drainage and rich in organic matter

Generally, when configuring the soil, it should be noted that the ingredients should be simple and not too complex. In the initial stage, we should raise roots first. Only when the roots are well raised can they grow well

Note that the root system of camellia is not suitable for large fertilizer. Generally, the newly bought Camellia should use plain soil

What options are available

Generally, when selecting soil, you can choose cinder and soak it in water for a period of time

Yellow sandy soil and red sandy soil can be dug in the mountains. You can also dig some plain soil, that is, the soil without planting anything. Pine needle soil can also be used. Just dig some under the pine tree and come back

After the soil is ready, don't mix it in a hurry and store it separately

Preparation method

After mixing wood chips, plant ash and fertilizer, pour water to make it mature, which takes about 6-8 months. When it is mature and fermented, turn it once a month and spray water appropriately

After ripening, add yellow sandy soil and other mixture, and then continue to ripen

Secondly, yellow sandy soil can be mixed with pine needles and cinders, bagged and rotten. It will take a long time to ripen. Generally, it takes about a year to fully ripen. However, the nutrients contained in the soil are sufficient and loose, which is very conducive to the growth of roots for Camellia

Secondly, you can also directly select the soil dedicated to Clivia for breeding
