1、 When is it trimmed

The pruning of Camellia, no matter which way it is maintained, should be pruned after flowering. Those that bloom in that year are pruned in winter. The flowers in the second year are pruned at the end of spring after flowering. If the flowers are trimmed before they bloom, it will lead to non flowering or reduce the number of flowers and flowers, which will also have an impact on growth

2、 How to trim

1. It has many varieties, some grow fast and some grow slowly. If the growth rate is relatively fast, the length of branches can be cut shorter when pruning, up to half or one-third of that when planting, which can promote faster germination and fuller crown. If the growth is slow, the pruning is as long as the long branches are cut off to ensure the beautiful shape of the plant and can not be re cut

2. If the diseased branches are found, they should be cut off in time to reduce nutrient consumption, increase light transmission and ventilation, and promote the more rapid growth of healthy branches. If its crown is large, the weak branches on the inner side should be cut off, and the long and dense branches should be trimmed

3、 Precautions

Pay attention to cutting off the dense branches from the base of the plant. In addition, if pruning is carried out in spring, nitrogen fertilizer can be applied in time after pruning to promote its faster recovery. Winter pruning should be fertilized after the temperature is stable in spring
