The time of fertilization is from February to march in spring, may to June in summer, and October to November in autumn.

What kind of fertilizer is the best

Camellia is in different growth stages, and the fertilizer needed is also different. No matter what fertilizer is applied, the concentration should not be too high and the amount should not be too large.

2. Fertilization in summer: by the end of spring and the beginning of summer, it will be in bud stage. At this time, more P and K fertilizer should be applied, less N fertilizer should be applied, or it should be stopped directly. When it's hottest, it will stop growing, and there is no need to apply fertilizer.

3. Fertilization in autumn and winter: fertilization in autumn is mainly to make it more cold resistant, and also to help it better through the winter, usually applying some low concentration of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.
