Care for camellias this way in autumn, and by winter your pot will be full of blooms
Yesterday a flower friend left a comment asking how to care for camellias in autumn. Today Chengcheng will explain it to everyone in detail!
Camellias already started growing flower buds back in June, and now in this season, there are three aspects of their care we need to pay attention to!
1. Watering and light
After the start of autumn, camellias grow fairly quickly, so you must pay attention to watering at ordinary times. As soon as the potting soil dries out completely, water it promptly, and never let it lack water, because it grows fairly quickly at this stage. If the potting soil dries out completely and you do not water it in time, after a while its leaves will dry up!
In addition, because the sunlight at noon is still fairly strong in this season, if you let it be exposed to the blazing sun, it will scorch the leaves. But camellias have already grown flower buds now, and not getting any sun is also no good, so we can only let it get some sun in the early morning and evening when the light is not strong. Never let it be exposed to the blazing sun at noon!
2. Moisture retention and ventilation
The weather in this season is fairly dry, and camellias happen to like a humid environment. If the air humidity is not sufficient, they will develop dry leaf tips and dry leaf edges, and if this goes on for a long time, their leaves may dry up!
So when autumn comes, you must pay attention to keeping camellias moist. Many flower friends keep camellias moist by spraying water on the leaves, but in autumn it is best not to use this moisturizing method anymore. Camellias have already grown flower buds now, and if you spray water on the leaves again, it is very easy for the flower buds to drop!
Many flower friends may ask, then how do you increase the air humidity for camellias now? This is actually very simple. We can group other flowers together with the camellias, and increase the air humidity for the camellias by spraying water on the other flowers, but you must pay attention to ventilation!
3. Fertilizer must be sufficient
Since camellias have already started growing flower buds now, in order to ensure they bloom smoothly by winter, do not stop giving them potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and still apply it once every 10 days!
