1、 How long does it bloom

There are many varieties of Camellia, and the time from bud to flowering is not necessarily. Most varieties have buds in May and do not bloom until the next spring. Flowering earlier, such as autumn peony and Joey, usually blooms in early October

2、 How to promote flower growth

1. Raise the temperature: the suitable flowering temperature of camellia is between 10-20 ℃. If the temperature is lower or higher than this, it is not easy to blossom. Therefore, it is necessary to raise the temperature for the flowers in spring

2. Improve humidity: Camellia has high requirements for air humidity. It is advisable to pour water when the soil is slightly dry. At the same time, you can spray a small amount of water on the leaves with a watering can, and you can also spray water on the ground to improve the humidity. When spraying water, be careful not to spray it on the bud, otherwise it will cause mildew

3. Proper fertilization: Camellia itself is not suitable for thick fertilizer. It is better to use some thin organic fertilizer. Do not apply compound fertilizer with too high nitrogen content, otherwise it will hinder flowering. You can apply more phosphorus, potassium fertilizer and alum fertilizer and water, which can make the flowers large and colorful

4. Timely bud thinning: Camellia should bud thinning according to the plant size. Otherwise, if nutrients are evenly distributed to each bud, they will not be able to bloom. Generally, flowers within 3 years do not leave buds. If they do, only one branch can be left, and not every branch should be left. They should pick buds selectively. For flowers over 5 years, each branch can leave two buds
