As Chinese people, we must take good care of this ancestral plant

Camellias have a very long history in China, dating back to the Three Kingdoms period. China is the very place of origin of camellias, and of the world's camellia varieties, China accounts for 833 of them. You can see that we are the "hosts" of the camellia. That is to say, it does not matter if we fail to grow other flowers well, but as Chinese people, we must grow camellias well to be worthy of our country's several thousand years of tea culture.

Camellias are semi-shade flowers, so when it rains, you must provide them with a canopy to shelter them from the rain. They have different temperature and light needs at each stage. For example, during the flower bud differentiation stage, the whole plant should receive light; in winter, it should be moved indoors.

For any plant, fertilization and watering are very important steps. For fertilization, dilute alum fertilizer water is best. When the camellia is blooming, you can fertilize less, or not fertilizing at all is also fine. As for watering, if you use tap water, you can let it sit in a bucket until the chlorine dissipates before watering the flowers, which is better.

So why is it called one of the top ten famous flowers? That is because it has extremely high ornamental value. Flower friends, let's get to know its ornamental value.

Landscaping. Since the camellia tree stays green all year round, its landscaping value is very high. It can be grown as a potted plant, or planted on its own, and of course, planting them in groups of three or five is even better. It can also be used in flower arrangement art.

Greening courtyards. The camellia tree has very strong adaptability, so it is more than suitable for courtyard greening. Just imagine, when the camellias bloom, the courtyard full of green gains a touch of floral color. What a pleasant thing that is!

Exhibitions. Since camellias have a very long history in China and can serve as a representative of our country's tea culture, they are often used in various exhibitions for visitors from all over the world to admire, and they receive unanimous praise.

The medicinal value of camellias is also very high. They can be used to stop vomiting blood, coughing, bruises, traumatic bleeding, and various other kinds of bleeding.
