What is the flower language and blooming month of camellia?

Camellia is a relatively well-known flowering plant in our country, with quite a few varieties. The flowers are mostly light red or red, and there are also white ones. The wild varieties of camellia are mainly concentrated in Taiwan, China, Shandong, Jiangxi and other places in our country, and the planting area has now expanded somewhat. Let us take a look below at what the flower language of camellia is and generally which month it blooms.

1. What is the flower language of camellia?

It is said that camellia always blooms quietly in the courtyard when the weather turns slightly cool in late autumn. When a camellia fades, it is not the whole flower that drops, but the petals that slowly wither one by one until life ends. Is not such a careful, reluctant way of fading just like people's attitude when pursuing an ideal partner? So gradually, camellia became the spokesperson for expressing feelings to the woman one admires in one's heart. In winter, when almost all flowers have withered, the red camellia seems especially warm and full of vitality. Moreover, planted in a courtyard, it can also let people enjoy her faint floral fragrance. Therefore, camellia makes people feel cuteness, modesty, ideal love, prudence, and amazing charm.

Camellia has many colors. The flower language of white camellia is “pure and innocent”, and the flower language of red camellia is “naturally beautiful”.

Flower divination——you are a gentle and emotional person, and you also have strong willpower. You hide passion within, and you long for love. Even so, you will not take an aggressive attitude to confess to the other person. After you have set your sights on the target, you will pursue the other person step by step, and then the passion in your heart will slowly be drawn out.

Flower motto——when getting married, never be in a hurry; wait until love has matured.

2. Generally which month does camellia bloom?

Camellia generally blooms in winter and early spring, that is, during the period from January to May each year, and the flowering period is relatively long.

The main methods for controlling the flowering period of camellia are to pay attention to the choice of camellia varieties, to master temperature well, and to apply hormone treatments.

Camellia is a flowering woody plant that blooms in winter, and the method of adjusting temperature can be used to promote and delay flowering. For example, forcing early-flowering varieties can make them bloom earlier, and delaying the flowering period of late-flowering varieties can make them bloom from December to early March of the following year. This is all achieved by changing the temperature. If camellia is to bloom after March, it must be controlled at a lower temperature to inhibit its growth. However, camellia is not cold-resistant, so lowering the temperature has certain limits, and therefore the time by which camellia flowering can be delayed cannot be very long either.

In specific operation, if flowering is to be delayed, late-flowering varieties can first be selected, and then before being placed in the bed, the entire plant should be wrapped to protect it from the cold and placed in a cold storage at 2-31 degrees Celsius; it should receive about 6 hours of weak light every day. The treatment time is about one month. In this way, the purpose of delaying flowering can be achieved.

To advance the flowering period of camellia, growth stimulants can be applied to the flower buds, which can promote the growth of flower buds and achieve the purpose of earlier flowering. The method is to first make the young branches after flowering become full and mature early, and stop growing early. Then in mid-July or early August, use a writing brush to apply 500-1000 ppm gibberellin to the flower buds. Once every three days, together with reasonable water and fertilizer, the flower buds will quickly become plump. Then according to the growth of the flower buds, apply once a day afterward, together with water and fertilizer, so that flowering can be advanced to late September to November. Suitable varieties for forcing flowering include Xiaotaohong, Xueta, Dongfangliang and others.
