This kind of flower blooms late, but it takes a long time to bloom. Generally, it starts to bloom around October. By May of the next year, it will basically end. The flowering period is from January to March. However, different varieties of Camellia have different natures, and the flowering time is not accurate. Some of them open early, some of them will open late for a long time. Generally speaking, the flowering period can be as long as seven or eight months. The flowering period is so long, which naturally needs careful cultivation.
Camellia likes to be in the half shade and can't be directly exposed to the sun. Pay special attention to cultivate it carefully in summer. It's best to control the temperature around 20 ℃. Its root system depends on the slightly acidic soil. It also needs to select the mountain loam with rich organic matter, soft soil and good permeability for cultivation.
In order to ensure that camellia can bloom normally, the illumination should be increased properly. Proper application of fertilizer containing phosphorus element is conducive to the expansion of flower bud. It is advisable to apply fertilizer once every seven days, but never apply nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise a large number of buds will fall. In this process, it is necessary to spray water on the leaves regularly, which can not only remove dust but also increase humidity. In addition, the newly sprouted bracts are very delicate, so the position of the flowerpot should not be moved frequently.
When it blooms, it can no longer apply flower fertilizer, nutrients can not be provided by other things, so we must let the leaves more photosynthesis to meet the needs of flowering. It is best to put it on the balcony or window with good ventilation, so as to extend the lighting time. At the same time, it is necessary to cut off the weak dead branches and lower branches in time to prevent unnecessary consumption of nutrients and spread of pathogens. Pay special attention to the prevention and control of diseases, especially anthrax, if there are yellow spots on the leaves, you should buy medicine to spray in time.
