How often should camellia be watered in summer?

Camellia watering frequency in summer

Camellia likes water very much. Generally, it can be watered every other day in summer. If it is maintained outdoors, it is best to water it every day to prevent its branches and leaves from being sunburned. In addition, camellia that has just been repotted needs more water, so it can be watered once every three days or so.

Key points for watering camellia in summer

1. Watering time

Generally, it is best to water camellia in the morning and evening in summer, because some water will evaporate during the day after watering in the morning, so you need to add some water at night.

2. Watering amount

When caring for camellia in summer, you need to pay attention to the amount of water. Do not water too much each time, otherwise water will accumulate at the roots. So when watering, you can check whether the soil is completely moist. If it is moist, you can stop watering.

The correct way to water camellia

1. Generally, the temperature in spring and autumn is not very high, so the water evaporates relatively slowly. You can water less, about once a week.

2. If you are caring for camellia in winter, you should reduce the frequency of watering appropriately, because too much watering in winter may cause the water to fail to evaporate in time, thus affecting the growth of the roots.
