How to Make Camellia Sasanqua Bloom for Christmas

Friends don't need to worry about this problem. The flowering period of Camellia sasanqua already includes Christmas. However, if all the buds are allowed to bloom at once, there will be no flowers to see by Christmas. Moreover, if the plant is not properly maintained, it will not bloom, not to mention Christmas, even during the entire winter.

Factors and maintenance suitable for flowering

Don’t fertilize too much during the flowering period, just use very light fertilizer water to water the flowers;

When there are flower buds, if you want to extend the flowering period, you can do proper pruning, so that each branch has only one flower bud, and cut off those that are too small and not full. This can extend the flowering period, up to about 5 months. If you do not prune, all the flowers will open at once, which will greatly shorten the flowering period.

The indoor temperature should not be too high, and should be kept between 2 and 10 degrees. Too high a temperature will affect the formation of flower buds.

During winter maintenance, do not frequently change its position, as this will also affect its flowering.
