Novices buy seedlings in this way and gradually become great gods

1. Variety

There are many varieties of Camellia. Xiaobai may be confused about the choice. Here, Huahua suggests novices to raise tea, starting with the old varieties with strong adaptability and easy management, such as Chidan and hongluzhen

2. With soil

When we buy camellia, the first thing we need to look at is the root system. Huahua suggests that we don't buy seedlings with bare roots. It's better to have soil lumps to survive more easily~

In this way, the survival rate is high

1. Flowerpot

We can choose earthenware pots or pottery pots for flower pots. We can't choose containers that are too large and too deep. Otherwise, the soil is too much, it's not easy to dry, and it's easy to produce ponding. Generally, the diameter of the flowerpot is half of the crown width of Camellia

2. Soil

In terms of soil, we can use rotten leaf soil, compost soil and sandy soil

3. Upper basin

Before filling the basin, we'd better pad a layer of coarse cinder on the basin bottom as the leachate layer (to prevent ponding), and then fill it with the configured culture soil

Place the seedlings with the original soil in the middle of the flowerpot and continue to fill the soil. During this period, tap the basin wall to make the root system closely combined with the soil, pour water, and place them in a place less than direct sunlight for maintenance for 1 month

Here we would like to remind you that if you buy potted camellias directly from the flower market and have flower buds, you'd better change the pots after the flowers, otherwise it's easy to fall buds~

Daily maintenance in autumn and winter, with blooming flower buds

1. Illumination

Now the intensity of light is gradually weakened. We can put the potted plants on the balcony for maintenance. We need to pay attention to the strong sense of direction of Camellia, so we don't often move its position at ordinary times

2. Watering

Autumn is the period when camellia flower buds expand. Keep the basin soil moist, observe the slight whiteness of the soil surface, and then water it. It is appropriate to use rainwater, and tap water should be placed for one day before use

3. Fertilization

In autumn, for camellia, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer are mainly applied. Some bone powder can be mixed into the basin soil, and 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed on the leaf surface once a week

Flower friends in the north, the soil is alkaline, you can use ferrous sulfate mixed with water to water the flowers, once a month to prevent the Camellia from iron deficiency

4. Sparse bud

Generally, one flower bud is reserved for each branch. When relaxing the bud, it is carried out on a sunny day. Cut off 4 / 5 of the flower bud with scissors, and the remaining 1 / 5 will wither and fall off by itself, so as to avoid breaking the flower bud and damaging the plant

5. Flower protection during flowering

During the flowering period of Camellia, we should ensure that the temperature is between 10 ~ 15 ℃ before the flowers can fully bloom and have bright colors. Otherwise, it is easy to cause the flowers to wither or not open early~
