Camellia is cultivated in the open field in the central and southern provinces of China, but in the north, Camellia cannot overwinter in the open field. Usually potted plants, they will move indoors in winter.
Winter1-March is just the blooming period of camellia. After manual intervention, it can last from 1 1 to May.
During this period, in order to cater to the flower market on Lunar New Year's Eve, people created various forms for camellia. Choosing a pot to go home can add a happy atmosphere and interest to New Year's Day and Spring Festival.
Characteristics of Camellia Camellia is dry and beautiful, with green leaves, gorgeous colors, beautiful and diverse patterns, elegant and polymorphic flowers, attractive fragrance and various varieties. Flowers are mostly red or red and white, plants are vigorous and tall, and the seasons are evergreen. It is one of the "Ten Famous Flowers" in China.
Potted plants are very suitable for viewing.
Decoration is suitable for living room, study, window and balcony.
So, how should the potted camellia in the north be preserved? Below, the garden landscape tree will discuss with you from the aspects of basin soil selection, environmental temperature and humidity, watering and fertilization. According to the following operation, your camellia will keep blooming and full of branches.
1. Slightly acidic soil is a mixture of humus, sawdust, peat and garden soil, which is usually used for basic potted plants. This kind of pot soil is loose, fertile and well drained, which is beneficial to the development of root hair.
No matter what kind of soil is used, it is particularly important to emphasize good drainage. According to the growth characteristics of camellia, it is appropriate to choose slightly acidic soil with good air permeability, and the PH value is between 5 and 6. A small amount of sulfur powder can be added to adjust the acidity of the soil.
2. Comfortable light and warm environment are warm and humid climate of Camellia sinensis in Harbor, and supercooling and overheating are not conducive to growth and development.
It is most suitable for growing in a warm environment, and the temperature range is 15 ~ 30℃.
Spray water around the ground several times a day to increase air humidity.
Camellia likes warm and humid climate. Too cold and too hot are not conducive to growth and development.
It is most suitable for growing in a warm environment, and the temperature range is 15 ~ 30℃.
In winter, the indoor temperature is 4℃, which can safely overwinter and bloom normally. When the indoor temperature is above 10℃, flower buds will fall off or stamens will be frozen to below zero, which will affect the flowering quality.
3, look at the dry and wet water control skills Camellia likes warm and wet, it is best to water the flowers with soft water or cold boiled water, the number of watering depends on the climate, watering should be dry and wet, watering should be thorough when drying, watering every 2 ~ 3 days in spring and autumn.
In summer, the temperature is high and the water evaporates quickly, so you can water it once in the morning and once in the evening.
The principle is to keep the soil moist, otherwise it will cause leaves to fall off or even rotten roots to die.
4. Apply thin fertilizer frequently, and make sure to apply fertilizer frequently during the management period, especially before flowering.
There are many nutrients consumed in flowering period, so it should be replenished in time.
Fertilizer seeds can be supplemented with 1: 1000 times of potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution.
Modeling pruning increases the artistic value of camellia 1. Daily pruning of camellia is not suitable for intensive pruning. Its flowers, leaves and buds take a long time to develop, and the crown is relatively uniform.
After the flowers wither, the branches should be cut short in time to promote axillary bud germination and sprout new branches and leaves, laying the foundation for the next year's flowering. If you cut it too late, the new branches will not be able to differentiate into winter and early spring flower buds.
2, modeling pruning
Through artificial shaping, the camellia crown is shaped into spherical, umbrella-shaped and cylindrical for viewing.
You can also create a recumbent floor style, so that camellias can crawl on the ground and be born on the floor.
In China, camellias are often used to shape various types of bonsai: using the old piles of dwarf camellias, the natural camellias seedlings are artistically treated through people's ideas. According to the modeling method of bonsai, water stones are used to express the feeling of stretching, unrestrained and chic.
I am a landscape tree, dedicated to the garden art around you and me. I hope that future generations can still see the green hills and smell the flowers.
