Why don't camellias open when they have buds? How do camellias promote flowering?

Crab claw orchid is actually very easy to raise, as long as you master the four maintenance tips. The first is careful watering, each observation of soil whitening, drying, carrying pot soil feeling significantly lighter watering. The second is to control the light, let the crab claw orchid bask in 8 hours of light every day, other time shading can promote flowers. The third is the ground pruning, every time after the failure of the crab claw orchid, we must pinch the leaves pruning, to promote its flowering again. The fourth is to fertilize more, thin fertilizer is applied frequently, to promote the growth and flowering of Zygocactus.

1. Plant rejuvenation

The camellias sold outside have buds, but they have not bloomed since they were bought home. This is because the plants have entered the seedling recovery period and stopped growing due to changes in the environment.During this period, the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients is not strong, do not need regular watering and fertilization, but also pay attention to shade, in order to avoid too much water loss.After experiencing the slow seedling, the plant will grow again and blossom slowly.

2. Nutrient deficiency

Any plant needs sufficient nutrients to blossom, and camellias are no exception. If the nutrients are insufficient, the buds will not open.In this case, it is necessary to fertilize the plant properly, generally using phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can play a role in promoting flowering.It should be noted that too many flower buds can also lead to uneven nutrient distribution, thus affecting flowering, which can be properly thinned.

3. Lower temperature

Camellia is suitable for growing in warm environment, if the temperature is low, it will also affect the flowering of the plant.The temperature of the growing period of the plant can be maintained between 5 and 15 degrees Celsius, but if you want to blossom, the temperature needs to reach 15 to 25 degrees Celsius.If the temperature does not reach 10 C for a long time, the plant will not only fail to blossom, but also may lead to its withering.

4. Lack of light

Camellia is a long-day plant, and long-time illumination is very helpful for the differentiation of flower buds of the plant. Even if there are flower buds, full exposure to light can also accelerate the blooming of flowers, but it is also necessary to avoid exposure to the sun, so as to avoid yellowing of leaves, which will affect the photosynthesis of the plant and is not conducive to the accumulation of nutrients.
