How to regulate the flowering period of camellias? A full analysis of practical methods

1. To make them bloom earlier, choose early-flowering camellia varieties. After they bloom in early spring, increase the temperature to speed up the growth and filling out of new young shoots and make growth stop earlier; around August, apply a 500-1000 times gibberellin solution to the flower buds that are forming, generally applying it once about every 3 days, until the buds show color, then stop.

If during hormone treatment the buds enlarge slowly, after September you can change to applying it once a day. When the buds gradually enlarge and the scales loosen, you can peel off 4-6 scales and continue applying. During the forcing process, apply 2-3 light fertilizer dressings. In this way, camellias can bloom about a month earlier, around October.

2. To delay the flowering period, choose late-flowering varieties, wrap the plant to protect it from the cold, then move it to a low-temperature room at 2-3°C, give it about 6 hours of weak light treatment each day, and continue for about one month, and the flowering time can be delayed. The above is the introduction on the subject.
