1、 Loose soil

For camellia, loose soil is very helpful for plant growth. If it is planted on the ground, it is generally planted in sandy loam with good drainage and certain water retention. If it is a potted plant, you can prepare the pot soil by yourself. Generally, it is mixed with mountain soil, sawdust and cake fertilizer powder, and the ratio of the three is 5:4:1. The prepared soil needs to be bagged and matured, which generally takes 20-30 days

2、 Proper illumination

Camellia is a semi negative flower and a long sunshine plant, so it needs to ensure sufficient light, but it is afraid of strong light. During the growth period, it should be placed in a semi shady environment to avoid strong light burning its leaves. When the plant enters the flower bud differentiation stage in autumn, the daily light time should not be less than 12 hours, otherwise it will affect the formation of flower buds. In winter, it should also be placed indoors in the sunny place. If the light is weak, the plants will grow poorly

3、 Watering and moisturizing

Camellia prefer to be wet and suitable for growing in acidic environment. Therefore, alkaline water cannot be directly irrigated. Ferrous sulfate needs to be added for acidification before it can be used for plants. If it is tap water, it needs to be placed for two days and poured after the chlorine volatilizes. The amount of water should not be too large, otherwise it will lead to plant root rot. If the environment is dry, spray water on the leaves to humidify them

4、 Apply sufficient fertilizer

When camellia is planted, it needs to apply enough base fertilizer to continuously provide nutrients. In the spring germination period, thin fertilizer and water should be applied every half a month, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be supplemented in summer. In autumn and winter, due to the rapid growth of flower buds, rotten liquid fertilizer should be applied once a week, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied 1-2 times. Nitrogen fertilizer should not be too much, otherwise flower buds will wither
