Why does camellia flower bud thinning

Camellia and peony are somewhat similar. They are all willing to give up their flowers. They will have a large number of flower buds. However, too many flower buds will consume a lot of nutrients of the plant, make its growth weak, and blossom is not good. The flowers are small. After flowering, they will also cause defoliation and other phenomena. Therefore, after the camellia grows buds, it is best to sparse the buds in time, so that it can bloom better, the flowers are huge and gorgeous, and the growth condition of the plant will be better

Method for thinning buds of Camellia

When thinning the buds of Camellia, many people like to break off the excess buds directly. In fact, this method has disadvantages, that is, the flower buds of Camellia are connected with the leaf buds. Breaking off the flower buds directly may leave a large wound at the base of the leaf buds and cause the leaf buds to wither, so it's best not to take this way when thinning the buds

Camellia sparse bud, generally cut bud method is better, so you can not hurt leaf buds

The earlier the bud thinning, the better. Generally, when the flower bud of Camellia grows to the size of soybean, it is necessary to cut the bud. Use sharp scissors to cut the flower bud slightly below the waist, so as to avoid cutting off the part of the leaf bud. The wound formed is large, which will quickly evaporate the water left by the flower bud, and then the flower bud will naturally turn yellow and fall off, and the base of the leaf bud will scar

It should be noted that more than half of the buds should be cut off when cutting off the buds, which can destroy the pistils of Camellia. Otherwise, if only a small half is cut off when cutting the buds without damaging the pistils, the buds will continue to grow, and the purpose of thinning the buds will not be achieved
