Autumn fertilization for camellias has its tricks: once every 7 days, and by National Day they bloom big and vivid
Camellia is a flower loved by many gardening enthusiasts and is one of the top ten famous flowers. The plant has a graceful form, the leaves are deep green and glossy, and the flowers are brilliantly colorful and very beautiful!
After autumn begins, the camellia enters an important bud-setting period and needs to absorb a large amount of water and fertilizer to supply the buds. Today, Hua'er will introduce to everyone how to use "it" as autumn fertilizer for camellias, making the buds plump and the flowers big and vivid when they bloom on National Day!
The autumn fertilizer mentioned here is fish intestine fertilizer water. Fish intestines contain a large amount of phosphorus and potassium elements as well as other trace elements, which can be quickly absorbed by the camellia, thereby making the plant fuller and the buds plumper.
Specific method: Collect the internal organs of chickens, ducks, fish, etc., clean them thoroughly and cut them into small pieces, then put them in a pressure cooker and simmer for about half an hour. After cooling, put both the meat and the broth into a plastic bottle, filling it to eight-tenths full, then add some orange peel, insecticide, etc. to remove the odor and speed up fermentation. Place it in a cool, shaded place for about half a month and fermentation will be complete.
When using it, filter it first, then add water at 1:50 and let it be absorbed before watering. Slowly pour it in from the edge of the flower pot. In this way, once every 7 days can make the camellia branches thick and leaves green, the buds plumper, and the flowers more vivid.
For camellias whose buds are relatively small and cannot bloom by National Day, you can dip a brush in 0.1% gibberellin and dab it on the buds once every 3 days. You may appropriately increase fertilizer and water to promote rapid bud growth, so that they can reach the stage of blooming by National Day and bloom big, vivid flowers on time.
That is all for camellia care. If gardeners have other additions, you can share them with everyone in the comment section below. If you want to learn more about flower-growing knowledge, you can follow Huajianke!
