Keep Losing Every Camellia You Grow? You Probably Don't Understand These 3 Things

Your camellia has plenty of buds but won't open - what's going on?

1. The camellia bud-forming stage lasts 6-8 months, so be patient

If you see your camellia refusing to bloom, don't get too anxious, because the camellia's bud-forming stage is very long - 6-8 months. Wait patiently and care for it well, and it will bloom eventually.

2. Remove the weak, small buds as appropriate

If there are too many buds, they will compete for nutrients and delay flowering. You can remove the weaker, smaller buds, leaving just one bud per branch.

3. Keep the room temperature at 10-15 degrees

If the temperature is too low at night, you can put a plastic bag over the camellia to keep it warm, then open the bag for ventilation when the temperature rises at noon. If you have heating at home in the north, keep the plant away from the radiator; if you have underfloor heating, be sure to put an insulating board under the pot.

Your camellia is dropping leaves like crazy - what's going on?

1. Wait until the potting soil turns pale and dry before watering

Overwatering and standing water in the pot will cause a camellia to drop leaves. Wait until the potting soil turns pale and dry before watering, and whenever you water, water thoroughly. You can insert a chopstick 2 cm into the potting soil and pull it out; if the chopstick has wet soil stuck to it, you don't need to water.

2. Put it in a well-ventilated place

In winter, with doors and windows shut tight indoors, poor ventilation can also cause a camellia to drop leaves. Remember to open the windows for ventilation when the temperature is high at noon, and be careful not to let the camellia be exposed to cold air.

Your camellia has dropped a lot of buds - what's going on?

1. Too little watering, potting soil too dry

Camellias grow best in moist soil. If you don't water for a long time and the potting soil gets too dry, the camellia will certainly drop buds from lack of water. Water neither too much nor too little, just make sure there is no standing water at the bottom of the pot. Spray a little water on the camellia leaves every day to keep the air humid.

2. Soil on the alkaline side

Camellias like acidic soil, and if the soil is on the alkaline side, they will drop buds. You can drench the roots with a 0.2% ferrous sulfate solution, just once a week, and gradually adjust the soil to be on the acidic side.

3. Don't move it around often

Don't keep moving your camellia back and forth; it won't have time to adapt to the changing environment and will drop buds.
