Detailed Explanation of the Latest Technical Points for Camellia Flowering Period Management

Every Spring Festival when going home, many people bring some flowers back to add to the festive atmosphere and improve the home environment. Camellia is a very good choice, with bright flower colors, fiery red, very festive. But once the New Year passes and the flowers fade, people will throw them away. Actually, if we handle them better, they can bloom longer. So how can the flowering period be extended? Below, Shuaishuai will tell everyone about camellia flowering period management!

1. How to handle camellia after flowering

1. After flowering ends, first immediately remove the withered flowers 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. Apply fertilizer to the camellia in time, because flowering consumes a lot of nutrients. If nutrients are not replenished in time, the camellia will have insufficient nutrient supply. Generally, we choose to supplement nitrogen fertilizer once every half month. The growth of new branches needs enough nutrients, and the flower buds of camellia also need nutrients to grow, so the interval between fertilizations should not be too long.

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

3. After the Beginning of Winter, the flower buds of the camellia will swell. At this time, it needs nutrient supplementation to maintain its flowering. We can use decomposed organic fertilizer and water it once every 7 days. After flowering, fertilization can no longer continue. If a flowering camellia is to be moved outdoors for cultivation, a nylon bag should be used to cover the flowers to prevent invasion by cold wind and freezing damage. Those that have not yet bloomed do not need bagging. Before blooming, the plant has strong cold resistance.

The above is the flowering period management of camellia. We should pay more attention to the usual care of the camellia we buy. Do not just throw it away when it looks about to wither. We can save it. With some fertilizer and water treatment and measures, it can bloom again. It is such a pity to throw it away, right? The vitality of camellia is not low. If we handle it well, we can also extend the flowering period!
