How much do camellia seeds cost? How should they be managed during the flowering period?

Camellia, also called camellia flower, is one of China's top ten famous flowers, with brilliantly colored blooms, and is a well-known horticultural variety. So, how much do camellia seeds cost per jin? How should they be managed during the flowering period? Let's find out together!

1. How much do camellia seeds cost?

The price of camellia seeds is about 0.5-1 yuan each, but prices vary greatly among different varieties. There are an extremely large number of camellia varieties, with flowers in varying shades of red, purple, white and yellow, and even variegated camellias, while the flowering branches can reach a height of up to 4 m. Camellias like warm, humid environments and have a long flowering period, blooming from October to May of the following year, with the peak blooming period usually in January to March.

2. Management methods for the camellia flowering period

1. After the flowers finish blooming, first remove the withered flowers immediately to prevent the withered flowers from continuing to consume the plant's nutrients, so that the camellia's nutrients can be used more for the sprouting of new branches. Then apply additional fertilizer to the camellia in time, because flowering consumes a lot of nutrients, and if nutrients are not replenished in time, the camellia will have an insufficient nutrient supply. We generally choose to supplement with nitrogen fertilizer, applying it once every half month. The growth of new branches needs enough nutrients, and the camellia's flower buds also need nutrients to form, so the interval between fertilizer applications should not be too long.

2. After entering May, apply phosphorus-based fertilizer 1-2 times, choosing to apply it during the bud formation period, so that the camellia can produce more flower buds and new branches. Choose a location with relatively good light conditions for placement. If there is not enough light, the camellia will become leggy, the branches will grow unevenly, and the ornamental value of the camellia will be affected.

3. After the Start of Winter, the camellia's flower buds will swell, and at this time it needs additional nutrients to sustain its flowering. Well-rotted organic fertilizer can be used, applied once every 7 days. After flowering begins, no more fertilizer should be applied. If a camellia that has already bloomed is to be moved outdoors for growing, the flowers should be covered with nylon bags to prevent damage from cold wind and freezing injury. Those that have not yet bloomed do not need bagging; before blooming, the plant's cold resistance is very strong.
