Cultivation method of red camellia

Sunlight and temperature

Its growth temperature needs to be maintained between 18 and 25 degrees, while the flowering temperature is between 10 and 20 degrees. If you want it to bloom, in addition to the temperature, you must also ensure 12 hours of sunlight every day so that the flower buds can take shape.

It has a high resistance to cold and can withstand temperatures of minus 10 degrees for a short period of time. In winter, the temperature can be maintained between 3 and 5 degrees. The maximum temperature in winter should not exceed 16 degrees, otherwise the flower buds will grow prematurely and all the leaves will fall off.

In summer, you can place it in a semi-shaded place, but never place it directly in the sun. In autumn, you should also avoid the sun around noon.

Water and nutrients

This plant has certain requirements for water and nutrients. It is best to leave the water in the sun for a few days before watering. The soil should not be too moist for a long time, let alone stagnant water, otherwise the roots will easily rot. But it cannot be too dry, as this can easily cause the plants to shrink due to lack of water.

In addition to watering on weekdays, you should also regularly sprinkle water on the plants and the surrounding ground, but do not sprinkle water while the flowers are blooming. When germinating in spring, fertilizer is generally required every 17 days. Normal fertilization is also carried out in summer. Fertilization can be suspended in autumn and resumed before flowering. Fertilization should also be carried out during the flowering period. This can ensure that the flowers are large and beautiful, and can effectively increase the blooming time.
