Camellia potted plants are favored by many people because of their green leaves, beautiful leaves, shiny leaves and colorful flowers. In addition, there are many varieties and colors of camellia, even double petals and mixed colors.
How to Pot Camellia
1, flowerpot selection: it is best to choose a pottery pot for camellia potted plants, because the pottery pot has good air permeability and good drainage, while the purple sand pot has poor air permeability and water permeability, so the flowerpot should not be too small or too large, and it should match the size of the seedlings. Small seedlings should use 10- 12 cm caliber earthen pots, and large seedlings should use 16-652 cm caliber earthen pots.
2. Soil preparation: The requirements for potted soil are stricter than those for open cultivation. Acidic sandy loam rich in organic matter should be selected. Farming soil consisting of 6 parts of yellow soil, 3 parts of river sand and 65,438+0 parts of decomposed compost or 4 parts of yellow soil, 4 parts of humus soil and 2 parts of yellow sand is usually used.
3. Potting: Camellia potted plants are best transplanted into pots from the end of autumn to the next year before germination. When potted, first cover the broken pot pieces on the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot, then plant seedlings in the pot, the roots should be stretched, and then fill the roots with fine soil. After that, put the pot, gently shake the pot and compact it by hand, so that the pot soil is closely connected with the root, and the pot soil can be put to the height of the pot.
Potting method of camellia
1, flower soil method: Camellia has strict requirements on soil, so it needs to be prepared with fertile and loose humus soil with good drainage, and humus soil and coarse sand can be mixed as pot soil for Camellia. There should be enough space in the soil, which is beneficial to the respiration of plant roots.
2. Temperature method: The growth temperature of camellia is about 18℃-25℃, and the most suitable flowering temperature is 10℃-20℃. When the temperature is higher than 35℃, the leaves will be burned, while the growth temperature is controlled above 5℃.
3. Sunlight method: Camellia is a semi-negative flower, which needs to be protected from light in summer and moved to a place with sufficient indoor light in winter.
