Camellia usually grows a large number of buds when it blooms. Although it can bloom more, it is not good for flowering. It is better to open the buds.

Why does Camellia need to open bud?

There are some similarities between camellia and peony, both of which are willing to give up their lives, and there will be a large number of flower buds. However, too many flower buds will consume a lot of nutrients of the plant, making its growth weaker, and its flowering is not good, the flower is small, and it will cause defoliation after flowering. Therefore, after the tea flower grows buds, it is best to timely carry out bud thinning, so that it can blossom better, the flowers are large and beautiful, and the growth of the plant will be better.

The method of tea bud thinning

In the process of tea bud thinning, many people like to break off the extra buds directly. In fact, there is a disadvantage in this method. That is, the buds of tea flowers are connected with the buds. Breaking off the buds directly may leave a big wound at the base of the buds and cause the buds to wither, so it's better not to take this way in the process of bud thinning

Why camellias need to be thinned?

Camellia sparse bud, generally with the method of cutting bud is better, so you can not hurt the buds.

The earlier the bud thinning is, the better. Generally, when the 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 remaining part of the water of the flower bud, and then the flower bud will naturally turn yellow and fall off, and the base of the leaf bud will scar.

Pay attention to cutting off more than half of the pistil of Camellia when cutting off the flower bud, otherwise, if only a small part of the pistil is cut off without destroying the pistil when cutting off the bud, the flower bud will continue to grow, and the purpose of thinning the bud will not be achieved
